Dont tempt me

 

Go on you know you wanna... im a dab hand with a Dremel ya know

 

Bring your tools, you can do it on the Sidc stand at Brands

 

Is that challenge?

 

 

All joking aside, ive not fitted one to a classic yet but if someone wanted one fitted to a newage.

As a demonstration i would do a vent fitting live at an SIDC show.

How much pressure??

 

That's a rash statment Frayz you may want to edit that out

 

Well its gotta be worth a laugh mate.

Got my intercooler back from the paintshop today, fitted it up and offered up the bumper too. Gotta have the bumper re done as we're not quite happy with the colour, but either way i cant fit it until the towing eye turns up.

Heres my new matt finish gunmetal APS core

 

Fantastic choice Frayz what a great colour combo

 

Cheers Si, looks better in the metal.

 

thought we might of seen you at the s s o mate but may be next time like a few people want to see it in the flesh

 

Whats the SSO dude?

Sorry, not really a show go'er lol.

 

Well not much of an update,

Remember the bespoke hose i wanted made? Well a superfast turn around from my buddy ensured it turned up today. So i set about fitting my intake filter.I had it made in 4 ply so is very rigid and has no chance of collapsing under boost.


Here you can see the 2 filters together the APS (left) and the AEM dryflow (right)


Now you can see how limited you are for space trying to get the APS to fit alongside the FMIC charge pipe.


And the reasons i didnt like the APS, internally it has no strengthening cage, where as the AEM does and it also has a bellmouth to aid flow (You cant see this bit im afraid)



I cut a small piece of 3.5" ally tube to couple the filter to the hose.


Here you can see the new filter tucked out of the way in the big cavity behind the foglight port.






Much better i think you will agree

Now cant wait to get my bumper bolted up

 

Fitted up the bumper this morning, it needs polishing and its new decals applied.

Im really pleased with the finished article, also the eagle eyed amongst you will notice some new graphics not previously fitted.

Hope you like it

 

 

Looking good Frayz!

 

Dumped another 10kg from the car yesterday too...

ooh what a little battery sir.

Stock battery is 16kg... this little fella is 6kg

 

This is one hell of a motor i too own one of these cars and you have inspirerd me to do more modifications thank you i will be following your story with great intrest i wish you all the very best in your indevers mate.

 

Great work Frayz that looks spot on

I hope to see this in the flesh one day

 

Cheers guys, Si hopefully we might catch up when you and kev come to brands

 

Looking good m8.

 

Looking forward to it

I'll bring my tin opener

 

Truly awesome, just gets better n better. What's next on the plan? Engine?

 

Yeah Kev, deffo bring the tin opener... i dare you

Yeah buddy, the engine is finally gonna get built once i order my clutch next week.
Its been tough saving cash for the last few items but that is the last big bit of the jigsaw for me.

Have you seen the price of Exedy hyper twin plate clutchs recently?
2 arms, a leg and a kidney come to mind!!

 

Outstanding work as usual my old mucker. Car is moving on soooo nicely. You all sorted on the handling side of things now??? I've been looking at diff support kits recently, what do you reckon???

Regards
Rich

 

Im just waiting for my coilovers to arrive. Theyre being made by KW in Germany. Once theyre on i think i'll be close on the handling front. Zak has a few other trick to do adjustment wise on my chassis. (Top secret lol)

I have a whiteline diff locking kit on the rear of mine, i dont think it makes masses of difference but every little helps ya know

 

Do you still get the 'thud' when you drop a cog and boot it??
Thought you already had KW's??

 

My KWs turned up and then for variuos reasons they didnt get fitted and a different set was ordered up. Im still waiting for them.

I dont get any thud on mine dude, none at all?

 

Perfect colour for the intercooler mate. top stuff

 

Just ordered a Tial sport 50mm BOV too
