[Simon]

cool looking car.. i wouldnt change the extirior i like it.. something different...

[ste]

hate the uk bumper

Got a bit more done on this recently its a slow process. I got the paint code used by previous owner and treated the inside and roof etc to a fresh lick of paint.



I also cut apart the drivers side seat rail as im 6ft 2 and was too high up and too far forward .So the seats now mounted directly to the floor so im now sitting nice and low





I cut a square out of chequer plate to make a heel rest and foot rest in drivers foot well and made some simple doorcards outta some corri-board.




Picked up a 350mm qsp suede wheel with 90mm dish aswell as small fire extinguisher(doesn't need to be fia approved for practise days) from mcg.
Having mounted my seat I may have mounted it bout 2inches too far back for my arms to be comfortable so picked up a snap off boss to kill 2 birds with one stone




bought these vetex used skirts off pete nice and cheap and just need a lil tidying and picked up some 50mm chargespeed rear over fenders off brian in driftkits





at the minute im tidying the fibreglass bits and prepping the new bits for paint them ill be starting to get kill switch and flick swithes for lights etc wired up

Best of luck with it lad. U just having a pratice day car or full comp car

[ste]

I intend competing money depending.. so will be getting the act together over the off season, caged etc

[ste]

been a while since updating this, things taking lot longer than i planned plus was away from the car house sittin for a month so didnt see the car.

Anyways, i got all the body parts i gathered and fixed / prep'd them for paint.


i in heinsight went the wrong way about this but knew no different anyways its done.i cut the outer arch skin,cut tabs into inner skin,folded em out and seal and filled the arch instead of folding back on itself and just sealing




i have to say the chargespeed overfenders from drift kits fit perfectly and cover the damage the car had at the bottom of rear pockets so im very happy and think the vertex skirts i got from peter t work well with them

[ste]

next on the agenda was starting to sort out the handling and began gathering arms etc.

Got a great deal off stevo on some d2 rear camber arms , d2 tension rods and some ikeya formula traction arms.


the arms were all good an straight but mouldy lookin but me bein me had to tidy them. suppose if ya cant afford new ones try make the old ones look new lol.

good as new




i also got some near new japspeed inner tie rods and ends and fitted them along with the tension rods


got some good cheap 60mm gauges off adverts all new in boxes for €40 and bout some holders for €5 euro each. There called pro plus and i wanted to get a new boost gauge as my one is in psi and oil pressure, so i emailed the company who are sending me the gauges for free
also the car came with some wafer thing carbon look plastic and i wanted to use it as my switch panel so put some strips of fibreglass on the rear of it so its good and rigid an strong now


i was never a fan of full matchin kits so went for this origin streamline front bumper not too aggressive so thats what i wanted. ill be runnin the rear bumper as standard


my favourite bit so far is the new wheels, i had a set budget of what i could afford and wanted somethin with good fitment in 17s, but nothin came up so when these 18 inch 526s came up at good mon ey i hopped on em there
18x9 et25 and 18x10.5 et20. I Managed to work a deal that seen me getting some brand new rear rubber and some barely worn maxsports for tthe front. i think the suit the car down to the ground but still need some spacers for rear.





thats where it stands at the min, have rear subframe removed at the min but hope to have it together soon and all painted the one colour
