I know mate, if you didn't care you wouldn't post

Harry from Evo magazine has just put a new exhaust on his Trophy, think I'll look into that

 

That's the perfect news about the clocks


They're so rare,i've seen them just twice and price still has been too expensive

Agreed on this,its hot to drive,i've tied few weeks ago and i love it,we are looking too for hot hatch for day to day driving

You are want paint the wagon,you have colour in the mind,what the colour you want


We are planning this Wednesday track days on the Brands Hatch,my brother have birthday and this will be perfect birthday present i think



Jura

 

182 comes highly recommended go for a Full Fat with all the trimmings and both Cup packs

Slate/battleship grey; same colour as the original TT came in...black roof of course

 

MO has just been dragged kicking and screaming into the the 21st Century so now has a smart phone

A few pics of the heads and pre build clean up from Xmas...thanks mate

 

Nice one Ian


Jura

 

Getting there mate I didn't realise you'd bought a clio I confess I like the colour

Wow that's transformation Ian,great job


Jura

 

Nice work mate.

 

Thanks Gents

A few more head pics from Mo

 

Killer thread trials, I just got a silver wrx wagon and this helps a lot with ideas

 

Cheers fast

Interior fun today;
Started like this.


Ended up like this.


Phil is getting a bit box of parts at Flock It!


I can't decide whether to get the grey/silver bits done though, any opinions or photos to help me make my mind up?


Took the opportunity to swap my heater matrix for a non-air con version; without the hoses in the way I have room to mount my swirl pot on the bulk head


Gearbox is supposed to be finished now and fingers crossed i've just sourced a v5 DCCD to solve my wiring woes.

 

Flocked dashboard will looks nice and really will transform interior

About the other bits,should be looks nice black sprayed or flocked ?

About the V5 DCCD,what problems you have with wiring?You mean you have problems with DCCD clocks on yours?

From pictures looking like lots of jobs to do,but should be nice when will be finished

Jura

 

I hope so Jura, will look a bit different from most flocked interiors anyways

I was going to do them high gloss piano black, then I found these

No issues with DCCD apart from how to get the lights in the dash working too, 22B to the rescue

I would like to find out if NewAge handbrakes fit straight into classics though...

 

Hi Ian

Maybe cheaper will be something like wet carbon or water transfer

Something like this

I'm thinking about the few bits get done by this and really looking awesome from picture,but gloss black will looks good too,as i said you will see

Jura

 

screw the carbon Jura...i'm going with the snakeskin

 

Snakeskin?!

Jura

 

Thanks Jura...but they are full running gear swaps so don't know for sure if the handbrake mechanism is compatible...I'll have a look on NASOIC.

Well not Snakeskin but I am sending some pics for a quote

 

Very nice build, read every page. Cheers from the U. S.

My name on nasioc is soon2bblackongold if u see me there. Hi frayz

Carmi

 

Thanks Carmi, thats a long old read in one hit...I'm Trails over there too

Ian

 

Some good updates Ian, id stay all black with the flocking. Looks smartest IMO.

Heads are looking good

 

Cheers Frayz, I've yet to send the bits off as I'm waiting to replace a couple of dmaaged bits so no firm colour plans...

I'm well pleased with the SMG stuff

 

I wanted to get the diff rebuilt today but one of the bolts refuses to play ball, despite copious amount of WD40 and an impact gun. Will soak t with release agent tonight and fingers crossed it will loosen tomorrow.


Sorted the dash wiring, just to make it easier to reinstall everything, got rid of the last of the airbag wiring and had a bit of luck. The sunroof switch fits into the OBDCII port so as I'm not running an OE ECU I have a stealth sunroof button


Working out where my fuel pump, filter an swirl pot need to go under the bonnet I really need the bracket on the swirl pot rotated 90 and opposite the -AN fittings. I'll have to drop Forge an e-mail and see what they can do.

Not sent off the dash as I'm still waiting for the last couple of bits of damaged trim and I'm still undecided about the flocking colours. I have had a quote back from Wicked Coatings though

 

got the last bolt out today so diff is rear to go get assembled, on advice form 22b I'm going to get the diff built by an professional. That way i know the lash has been set correctly and the thing won't tear itself apart. I'm going so see how much a new steal gasket set for it is too.

 

Loving the stealth switch

 

LOL. So whats wrong with having a sunroof switch, err, near the sunroof?

 

It's a retro fit dealer sunroof so the controls were in the switch space for the DCCD controls by the handbrake...I'll be running DCCD with all the OE gubbins so needed to move the switch Joey

 

Cheers Ghostedition...lucky fit really
