Coming along very nice!

One touch I am especially liking....the black headlining, was it easy to remove, and if you dont mind me asking, how much was it to have it re-trimmed?

 

errrrm, fairly easy to remove it just means unclipping all the trim inside around it, and its very awkward to get it out of the car too!

you need some material roughly 2m long by 1.5m wide and some really good spray glue, a stanley and about 30mins of your time. as i did it myself, it cost approx £20 but i bought enough material to do my door cards also.

 

Could you let us know where you got the material from Jon?

Re; the blue silicone hose, it's not coming off that I don't trust, it's the way they can tend to get squashed or expand when warm very easily.

 

pm'd

 

Is it done yet Jon?!?

 

LOL

i could ask you the same question!

Roof liner to put back in. My clutch should be arriving today () need some fancy bungs like yours for my inlet tract (still awaiting reply from viper performance) need to put the air filter on OR make a CAI (QUICK) and im still awaiting a call from the guy @ simtek to tell me whats what with this ecu so i can get it in...been waiting since the start of august have chased him 4 times.

Then theres the whole situation of - getting a base map on before the MOT, which cant be done on the road clearly () then getting an MOT, then taxing it. I am NOT looking forward to that but of course thats all going well, it may not start or something. Insurance is looking like £2000 all mods declared although im hoping moley can beat that..

Im also on the lookout for some coilovers. so il have a mega classic spring & shock setup for sale.

*sigh* i sometimes wonder what i have done!

 

and it would be a reasonable question Getting my speedo converter fitted tonight and then its back on its wheels

get some pics up of that lining...bet it looks good. Who is going to map your car, get them to chase the Steve at Simtek...more likely to speak to them perhaps

£2k mine's insured (well not at the mo ), with Gary and all mods declared; £400 but I am old...if anyone can help you Gary can.

leave your suspension and get out and drive it, 2 years is a long enough break i reckon

 

was gonna get JGM to do it but its just a case of getting it done, i cant drive it for a live map. nearest rollers is wakefield and he cant do simtek unless i have the dongle etc. its gonna be a nightmare.

 

Ask Simon to call Steve...gotta be worth a shot

Can you get trailered to Wakefield?

 

looking into at atm, just been in touch with Andy Nichols

gonna chase Andy L again today..

 

good luck mate

 

nothing exciting here



Just imagine for a sec the bonnet & everything else is silver as in its painted, ignore the cardboard on the interwarmer, should i leave the grill black with the splitter - thats staying black anyway? or paint them both the same black??? or should the grill go silver too?

time to mail simtek again..

 

[/quote]
you can keep the splitter black but colour match the grill. Please. looking good however would look better finished

 

ask for a photshop in member gallery Jon...paint it all I reckon though

 

i darnt, because il ask someone to PS it ford focus RS green aswell, and it will be in the bodyshop next week having a full re-spray

 

I do like that colour....just imagine how cool it would look with a matt finish

 

Be careful with the Viper stuff Jon, especially for turbo and induction, it seemed very thin compared to samco/SFS.

 

53 i dont think theres any chance of either collapsing due to vacuum, its hard enough to do with my hands!

not sure what it is today - but double whammy

moley is able to insure me, and simtek success - finally got in touch and my local mappers a stones throw away!

 

 

a trip to wayno's needed then john for DP and bish bosh she'll be all back together

 

need to go before tuesday!

 

pop tommorrow if you want i need to get out of house it's driving me nuts

 

downpipe retrieved at long last & more trimming in the pipeline

 

Ok so the garage is finally tidy (took some doing) and so i treated myself to a new toolbox and tookchest.



downpipe ready for wideband



Then andrea got his sewing machine out - cheers mate!




In with them + roof liner




Latest random purchase, dont worry the fitting were only for show



may go well here?

 

roof lining is very pimp Jon

swirl pot and external pump next on the list?

 

Almost needs lots of little white LEDs scattered randonly through it to look like stars.

Like it though. And love where you've mounted the avcr

 

Wrighty, Can I ask who makes that front splitter you have fitted?

Andy

 

eeee its alright looks good, better then grey but it aint perfect but, i arnt a pro trimmer

yes would like the swirl pot done before the sprint next season, can stay as is now for mapping / MOT as id want it done ready to run by Jan, then can do a suspension swap over winter, swirl pot, cage, buckets + harness's

wont be going any faster or insuring anything bigger/better with performance per £ at 22 so pretty much gonna keep this until im 25 so plenty in the pipeline...could turn into one of the best classics SN has seen...maybe.

 

ABW mate, hes on here If he does a carbon one i dont think il be able to resist

 

it's certainly going to be one of the most well thought out mod wise...now pull your finger out and get it started
