best post of thread de red bits;)
Thanks lads, but was actually telling ye my project, not really looking for opinions. but thanks for the heads up!
@Podge- dont see why a car cant be driven on and look well also!
Aidan Hogan
04-10-09, 19:45
those opinions seem a bit harsh !!
scampers doing the car the way HE wants it as its HIS car !!
whats harsh about them.
if he aint going to drift the car then a 1.5 will do no need to spend the extra money on a 2 way diff, his paint rocks i wouldn't change it, the power FC seems to be a modders must these days but the nistune is as good an ECU at not as much money, rockercovers and break calipers being powdercoated come on, a ferw rattle cans and you would spend half the money. non funconal weight saving carbon is just like haveing a gold tooth
I dont see anything wrong with powder coating? It lasts longer, always an excellent finish and much harder wearing.
Lots of lads use pfc's cos there good and readily available and not many lads know about nistune so its not even on someones mind when there looking at ecus.
If we all were to not give a shit bout looks wed all be rolling on 15" steelys
Best of luck with your car dude, i love the colour at the min but tis your car so do what you thinks best with it
we'd all be rolling on 15" steelys
like me :D

just bit info lad, power coating great and all bit dear, i got my rocker cover done in limerk for 150 yoyo and it artist design on it far better in my option
then just one colour all over and for the callabers i painted mine with
pain from halfords one in a tin foe out door use, still same colour a year later
iam running nistune as good few lads from sxoc it great bit kit for
the price lad.
all you dont have is a fancy hand controller
but you can get a greaddy touch sceen infromer for thr nistune :):)
An update: Picked up fuel pump during the week and sparco seats today (Thanks Thoso) heres some pics

I couldnt be happier, was down with stiv yesterday and got the car fully serviced & mapped, and aload of other niggly shite done, she goes like an absolute cunt now i love it.
Spinning in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, some difference in power
Stiv's calculatons were
260bhp at .7 bar (low boost)
300bhp at 1.1 bar (high boost)
I honestly couldnt be happier and the price for all the work that was done was spot on, very sound man to deal with , would recommend him to anyone.
My car is running an absolute dream now, roll on the rest of the project now

Haha true darragh, ah id say i need bigger spacers, i also might be ripping off the rear arches and throwing on a new set, ill know more on monday week as im taking it into the panel beaters then.
The wheels arent sitting out like i would like them too. front seem fine tho.

Awh i was expecting it to be wider
Awh i was expecting it to be wider
bodywork aint even started yet shor ;)
Bodywork is being started monday week, i got let go before xmas so money is tighter than a ducks hole.
Ill have alot more updates from then on, prob an update per evening im down there working all going well
Was a delay on getting the transporter, so only got started on this today have no pics as of yet, but will have as time goes on, trying to get the car sitting right is the first plan.
Trying to cut up standard metal arches is some pain in the hole when there is already fibreglass fenders moulded on. Really want the new wheels sitting right so it has to be done, just stripped the car and attacked the back arches today.
Got them sitting nicely under the arch but i need 30mm spacers instead of 20mm. then should be A1!!

+20 and +22 offsets
8.5 and 9 widths

works look cool pitty there not wider doh so you wouldnt need spacers
I know man ya, ah sure what can ya do, got them at a very good price and they are immaculate. will look well spaced out anyway!
Havent done anything this week, had a family funeral.
Should be starting on this properly monday morning, so should have a few updates next week.
These arrived the other day tho, 50/50 red and clear lights, and got a hold of the proper spacers i needed.

dude!!!! i want them wheels
thanks ernie bud, ya im happy with them now!
Update:
Made good progress on the car this week, got the two rear arches reinforced and cut up, so i can run better stance on the wheels, just waiting on a set of spacers i ordered last week
http://i51.tinypic.com/332aq7l.jpg
Also had a bit of a gap either side of the boot so i welded in a plate on either side to cover it , and got the boot ready for spraying
Boot is all cleaned out , removed the sound deadening, form under where th back seats will be all the way back
The boot will be sprayed black.

Then i made up brackets to mount on my new wider wings, lined them up welded them on and the lined up the wings with the bonnet to make sure all was ok

http://i55.tinypic.com/180y1t.jpg
The wings should look well, when car is done, here is an idea of how they will be sitting
http://i51.tinypic.com/hwy29s.jpg
Here is an idea of what the front end might look like
Bare in mind, nothing is secured, bonnet is up, and car is jacked up on the far side.

Thats all the pics i have, but i have the two wings prepped for primer, also all 180 doors come with a line running along the door through the door handle, im taking this out , and flushing the door flat, and have that nearly done and prepped for primer.
Had a few cracks and bits to sort out on the body and thats what im at in the morning.
Car is being undersealed in the morning
More updates to come over the next few days....

always nice to try new things save ya lots of money thats always a good thing.
Thats it man, im enjoying it, as frustrating as it is at times.
UPDATE
Was down again today an made a good bit more progress.
Got the side skirts fitted and lined up.
Had some hardship with the back bumper, back panel, rear lights and boot all lining up, but after many hours tweeking and farting around with it i got it lined up, bit of sanding to be done, and some tidying up. But all the lines are perfect.
Also got the final smooth coat of filler applied to the doors so they are flush, will sand them down in the morning.
Also in the process of getting the issue with my coilovers sorted with DW, so hopefully i will have them sorted.
Some pics.

ah thanks anyway man, it looks savage on a track car, but for a road car i dunno!
Update:
Car is going to primer, first thing tomorrow! :D:D
Finally after all the weeks farting around and tidying up the bodywork, she was finished, wiped down, and is ready for primer first thing tomorrow.
Also i stripped the engine bay, firewall, and cooling panel, as much as possible, and primered it, and gave it a shot of frozen white, and clear lacquer to tidy it up, cleaned it up nicely without dropping the engine out , i think so anyway.
Engine bits themselves will get a full going over in the near future, Rocker cover, new hoses etc...
New coilovers came too to replace the HSDs that were fucked in the front, so they will be in tomorrow aswell hopefully. :)
Heres some pics:
In primer...
