New Sil80 Project !!!

[derek89]

Ye should be class wen ur finished keep it up

[SIMO]

well lads finally got the 50mm full wrap around rear quarters for the sil80 happy out, The fit isnt too bad needs a bit of work to be perfect and theres a 6mm gap between the over fender and the window line all the way back to the boot i presume there ment to be like that was contemplating to fiberglass it right up to the window but i mite just leave them as they are now.
Wheels fit grand and i havent any adjustable camber arms in it but im thinking should i camber the wheels more and add a spacer??any ideas??

Heres the pics anyways there only slapped on to get a look so lines and gaps arnt rite at all.

Magnetic sump plug , resistors for tacho and remote start , Gearbox shifter boot, and a few relays for the fans and foglights.

Hands down i'd paint it this colour Simo :



Honda Civic Supersonic Blue, would look savage with the orange I reckon. Or something nice deep blue / burple :



Whats the storey with the JZX why are you taking it off the road? And what ever happened that Lancer that you had that you were rebuilding?

[SIMO]

Well lads did a few bits last nite after getting a few new parts.

Polished the alloy coolant tank as it wasnt as shiney as i wanted it to be.



Wanted to make a shroud for the electric fans too draw all the heat through the fans for better cooling so got a bit of metal i had laying around and started from there.


Cut the shape of the rad into the metal and drilled all the fixing points



I then marked out where i wanted the 2 fans to go


I then cut the holes out using a nibbler which was a handy auld tool


Gave it a quick polish


I Then fitted the fans to the shroud and the rad.very happy with it with a good fit 2.




Fitted the alloy coolant bottle to the car


Fitted the rad and fans to the car






Just have to wire in the electric fans now and the cooling side of things are finished!!
