Best of luck Neil. Cant wait

 

how do you top the last one..........???

 

fantastic 2 hour read, should be made into a movie.

Good luck with next project mate and look forward to reading about it!!!

James

 

Cheers Frayz, good to see you back on yours.

By going down a slightly different route.

Yeah I think it would make a great movie, if only you all knew the half of it..

 

Few pics of this years updates....

New wheels, Compomotive MO 10x18 et 20.



And they are a bit wide...






And here's what's hiding behind them..






Decided to paint my rear Brembo's to match.




Got this little puppy to go on..



Which fits here.




I've also decided to tidy up my engine bay for 2010.

Battery tray, washer bottle and fuse box are being re-located from here.



I am also relocating the ABS pump from the drivers side inner wing, along with re-routing of the major wiring.

Air con system is now in the bin.


Quick mock up of the new pipework..




And how the car looks tonight...

 

new wheels = hoooollllllllllyyyyy **** theyre awesome mate.

what made you decide to switch to AP's from your prev set up?

 

The original brakes were sold when I parted the car out...

These came up for sale a short while back for a very reasonable price, so I snapped them up.

 

looking interesting so far............

 

Awesome Neil, the wheels and brakes the car should have worn from day one.

Is that a 35R I see or a 3040?

Either way, I f'kin love it!

 

Yup, wheels and brakes as they should have been, although I got to be honest and say that I never had any trouble with the K sports.

35R.

 

Looking good, I thought this would have been your next move after a posts I saw over on NASIOC.

Keep up the good work Neil ;0)

Cheers Paul.


Been trying to get my inner wings sorted, well at least one of them.

Battery tray and various mounting brackets now removed from the nearside.

The battery will be going in the boot, whereas the washer bottle and fuse box are being relocated underneath.

I'll let the pics do the talking...







And the outside where the fuse box, and washer bottle is mounted..





On the offside the ABS pump is now relocated under the inner wing..



Starting to look a tiny bit neater.

 

I luv this car, those wheels look so mean.

 

looks sooo neat now

 

great work, the fuse box is well trick!!!

show those yanks how its done ;0) loverly

very nice as always neil , you have just made some more work for yourself lol .

 

Managed to get the engine bay painted today.

Notice there are now no holes along the top scuttle panel, and both inner wings are now sorted.

Any redundant holes on the slam panel are now gone...

The drivers side inner wing was replaced by a complete new section, with just one hole for the intercooler pipework.

 

Very, very neat Neil. Wish I could be bothered with the attention to detail like yourself. More of a functional type person myself

Particularly like the washer bottle idea, I wonder if I could do something similar on my type R build. May check that one out tomorrow.

 

smooth as you like, love it! fantastic work.

 

very neat and tidy niel, impressive. did you decide to keep the 0.82 housing

andy h

 

can't believe it but it looks like it's going to be even better!!!!!

top work sir

 

Cheers Clive.

Relocation of the washer bottle is really easy to be honest, and the fuse box isn't muuch more work.

Makes changing spark plugs a damn sight easier..

Cheers Jon.


Hi Andy, kept the .82.

 

I thank you...

Apart from the exterior not being totally fresh paintwork, the car is 100% going to be much much better...

Trying like crazy to get at done for the end of the month...

 

cool, should be quick then

 

love what u done under bonnet the tidyness is awesome

 

Lovely work

Being the perfectionist that you are, I guess that the wheels are changing colour. Are you matching the white from the bodywork or going for something different?

 

Gorgeous work Neil. Love it!

 

I'm not sure right now.

To be honest I was quite surprised how white the wheels were, and make my white car look yellow...

I am going to see how it all looks when it is all built up, and go from there..




Cheers for the comments chaps.

 

Got a few bits bolted up today..

Washer bottle and fuse box in..





ABS pump and new relocated brake lines in place.



Bit of a change regarding under bonnet colour, gone for anthracite instead of black...

Also relocated the clutch reservoir.



Done a fair bit of the rewiring, along with the new hidden routing.

Boost solenoid will now be placed under the servo, out of sight-ish, and close to the wastgate.

 

Awesome, Neil you are my hero
