New Driftworks Braided Lines
http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/u...ps2650ab6c.jpg
Hoping to have a few more bits and pieces coming over the next few weeks. Plan is at the min just buy away at stuff for the time being til i have everything there, then send the car off for paint and then when painted bolt all the new stuff back on. was hoping to have it out for summer but dont see it happening at the minute as i dont wanna cut corners with this
UPDATE MOTHER FOOKERS
so been spendin me hard earned dabs on this recently
First off i bought this
https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.n...51721673_n.jpg
Then i bought this
http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps4119ae62.jpg
Then these
http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/u...psba50d194.jpg
So i have the genuine kouki front going on and i also have the Origin streamline front bumper i did have so when both are painted i can chop and change or fire on the origin if im going shhhhliding
Also bought this - Vertex Rear bumper
http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/u...ps414113ed.jpg
Currently have a set of Origin tatakadasi 30mm rear quarters on route from japan so hoping they will be here by end of next week
I have the car all wire brushed down underneath, there is pretty much zero rust on the car which is excellent to see. the car was sealed before somewhere in all the right places so it is in extremely good condition, il get pics when its up on the lift to prove that. We will be undersealing it again tho just to make sure this thing will last longer than a sunday mass.
Fitted my new intercooler pipework, have one flexi hose to order and that should be it all saweet aswell
http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/u...ps624fab73.jpg
Plans are to bleed the brakes next sat and get the coilovers in and get her back on the ground. Hopefully next saturday evening we'l be getting her out of the garage and shel be going off for the big lick of paint inside outside underneath and under the bonnet. should be away for a month or so gettin everything done. deadline for this should be sometime in mid july
tasty stuf man.. loking forward to seeing it al together..
Really nice work lad :)
was going to under-seal my car as well but ive been told that it can hold water so im in too minds about it now :confused:
Took a wee half day cos it was nice and sunny :D
ended up fittin the coilovers
got a new alloy rad aswell :D
coilovers are only in temporarily to get it rollin so i can get it up for paint and then itl be stripped again and undersealed
Now its time for a BEER

Got a good bit done on this yesterday
Mahooosive thanks to ConorD1 for givin up his saturday to help
I dont really know where we started, stuff just kinda started gettin done
Removed the tint from the back 3 windows as it gives the car a far cleaner look and i want people to see the recaros and cage :D

after:
http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/u...psf2a26954.jpg
http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/u...ps52073b79.jpg
Got the brakes all hooked up and coilovers set and bled brakes
Also removed all the aircon system, the 2 rads and aircon fans, pump and pipe work - there was a lot in this so was good to get out and will make the bay a LOT less cluttered

While i was up front conor took out the sounddeadening in the rear for me so when its painted itl be nice and flat, im going to leave the sound deadening under the carpet at the front as this is going to be a road car and it wont be seen. il more than likely be keeping the stripped interior at the back
This is how we left it at 11 last night and it was off to the pub for Beer. she should be back on 4 wheels today and within the next week taken off for paint
http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/u...psadc0a3ff.jpg
So the Origin 30mm quarters landed today all the way from Origin in Japan
MAHOOSIVE thanks to Jesse Streeter, cheapest i could have got them anywhere and they were here within days
The finish on these is unfuckinbelievable
https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.n...91764852_n.jpg
So i went down and screwed the coilovers down some more and tested the wings and quarters against the wheels

Were getting there :happy)
Well its a big day, shes away off for paint
We mocked the kit up to see what itl be like and im pleased with it
Not 100% gone on the URAS bumper but il see what its like when all fitted properly
I ordered a Vertex off elite autos and this is what i was sent, couldnt be assed sending it back so il see what it looks like

Cant wait to see this finished,I do agree about the uras bumper tho,looks wrong!
Gonna look well! Get onto the phone and tell them to take it back! It just dosnt look right against the rest of the car :(
Just went through the whole thread. The car is a credit to you man and all the work you have put in.
Love the spoiler looks the muts nuts.
Just went through this thread, excellent stuff, really like where you went with it, gonna look class when painted.
I agree that the Uras should be binned but is still going to be gorgeous.
Fair play
Thanks for all the kind comments folks :) it has been a long ol road
I understand the concern about the URAS rear
the last photo i put up does show it hanging off and sagging and it does look a bit ignorant from the angle - it was only thrown on with duct tape
I have this photo to show that it actually lines up pretty well with the spoiler and we did hold it in tight with the sideskirts and it lines up really well with them aswell - thats why i just want to see what itl look like when its all fitted properly. il prob rock it for a while but if i still dont like it in a few months il prob just go order a hipposleek off jesse streeter
still a bit too much??
