hey Darms, hope you are well mate...you never know i may even get to one of those long over due Ace Cafe meetings sometime soon

more progress

 

Forward movement Ian.. tis good to see

 

i like the wagons just as much as the saloon, girlfriend dont agree with me tho lol, but im a keen fisherman and so was wondering if there any bigger inside (apart from the longer roof).

 

For some reason I don't think they are, I think the extra load space comes from the additional piece of roof.

 

well thats a bit daft

 

Same as almost every other estate variant; same wheel base but larger and more accessible storage...there's no firewall

 

Cheers Si

 

firewall do the back seats go down?? i ant even checked!! if not any1 wanna buy a scooby lol.

 

the back seats do fold in four doors, but it's only the centres of the seats where are the whole seat folds down in a five door...so you get a relatively small aperture with former whereas you get the whole rear load space in the latter

 

do you mean were the upholstery changes colours? on the saloon?

 

sorry but you have totally confused me...

 

lol sorry..do you mean only the centre seat fold down?

 

On saloons only a centre section folds down, on wagons all of the rear seats fold down 60/40

 

on a saloon m8

 

None of my seat folds down. Long live the JDM

 

Trails - send me your paypal addy and I'll send you the money for those bits. Been mental what with getting the house ready for the baby and then the baby arriving.

 

o bollocks..i should of cheaked...ill nip up to the garage later and check..if they dont theres gunna be a car for sale

 

Thanks for that Ian I was super confused

No worries Matt, you have your priorities round the right way, congrats btw...you have PM

Shiny brain came today


Ready for drilling...

 

Looking good mate. Guess u have been up zac's and seen something funny lol Someone say convertible

 

What is that Ian?

 

i think its the front or rear subframe been welded up (wishbone bolt) to re drill changing roll centre

 

yeah, looks good but i'm sure mkII is going to look even better...you better get that kiwi motivated

 

on the money mbd...front

 

recovered my front loom today where the old fire sleeve was damaged by metal cable ties...



Pleased with the renewal.


Got a bit carried away as I had some spare sleeve...so I covered the loom on the hot side of the bay.



Should have left it there really, but I thought I'd tidy up the loom extension and managed to pull it apart...I guess it's better it happened now.


And for entrainment value, this is my painted vent Vs. the hole I cut for it...that's not an optical illusion; the aperture is way to big

 

doh! mesh and fibreglass plus a little filler should sort that out though.

 

OOPs

*rummages for plastic welder*

 

Who did the loom extension, haven't they heard of solder

What you gonna do about the vent vs hole

 

Hydra
Vent hole

Howd you manage that

 

I bet Ian measured it in cm's jotted it down then measured it back out in inch's on the bumper

You could use a square of ally and cover it in that 3m carbon then mount the intake in it and then mount the lot over the hole ? could be a good way of reducing that rather large hole

 

like a picture frame?? if u know what i mean
