What exhaust system is that?
I love the down-turned tail pipe.

 

Got a link for them carbon door sill protectors?

 

All custom made by Simpson Race Exhausts

No mate, theyre about 8 years old and i havent seen a set for years. Came from Japan if i remember correctly.

Well we've had a very successful morning.
Simon has been to set up the cars running in map and after a few tweeks is running beautifully. Absolutely delighted with how it runs and drives at the moment.
Cant wait to get some more miles on it. All her temps and pressures are solid and its feels and sounds fantastic.
Really pleased, so far so good

 

Nows the time to stop fecking about on here and to get out and get some miles on her!!!

 

Good news, now get out in it.

 

Can't wait to finally see her on the road again!

 

Was fantastic to see it up and running today Frayz, it is a credit to the work you have put into it.

Simon

 

top scoob

how is she ?????

 

You will soon mate

Thanks alot Si, she wouldnt be running without you though. I guess it all kinda came home today at just how much id missed it. To see it sat there under the petrol station and not on my drive was just awesome.
Looking back now through all the documented work thats gone into it, it really starts to hit home at just how much ive done to the car. Not just the engine. I mean i bought it 1000% standard and the whole car has been built by myself.

I do really hope it does the businesss come rollers time.

Absolutely love it mate. Already got plans for more in my mind lol

 

Nice one good to see it up and running. Its a nice feeling when you have done it all yourself makes it all worthwhile. I feel like that every year when the car rolls out the garage and you think you know what all the hours in a freezing garage were actaully worth it.

 

Well done mate, great thread and a cracking car at the end

 

So true Arch, so true!!!

 

She's an absolute credit to you mate, if i was wearing a hat i would tip it to you

 

Cheers guys,

another nice addition to the car tonight...

 

you need to invest in a stove lol
Well done! Bit of running in to do now then! Can i see a copy of the emmisions report please? No cat i take it lol

 

credit to you Frayz........best of luck for the rollers (not that you'll need any LOL)

happy days, alyn

 

Thanks for everything Alyn.

 

First oil change done and 170 miles later she drives lovely.

Been a busy boy today fitting these. Ride is very compliant but she needs a geometry setup, also need new camber bolts as the tangs broke off the rears

Still, she drives fine for guesstimated geomtry lol







And before anyone says about my rusty roll bar and mounts, theyre all coming off for powdercoat along with teh rear calipers for a freshen up

 

my brake calipr colours are the opposite way, i have gold fronts and black rears! nice shiny coilovers what make are they and what spring rate have you gone for?

 

They are KW variant 3's iirc, couldn't tell you which spring rates he has though.

 

Iain, theyre variant 3s that ive had sat here for 2 years since they were eventually ordered and made.

I have no idea what rates etc they were but were valved for the nurburgring iirc. Took an absolute bloody age to get them too.

Theyre very very nice to drive on, much smoother than my STi dampers/whiteline spring combo.

 

very bling, how long now before you get to give her full beans and really enjoy driving again.

 

thanks mate they look and sound good!

 

Crap photo, but the dampers are settling nicely.

Just some camber bolts and i can go get her setup properly

 

Sits lovely mate I gad Varient 1s on my old Blob and they were spot on Didn't need much setting up either !!

 

looks awesome frayz, I should really get round to fitting coilovers but I cant go any lower than I am already before I get the front drive rebuilt .... it'll just have to wait

 

Guys,

Here we have my full set of genuine STI7 inverted struts for sale. These have only been removed from my car due to upgrade. The dampers themselves are in excellent condition with only the usual surface rust on them.

The pistons and seals themselves have no damage or leaks and have never knocked or rattled. They have done 40k from new on my car and are very tight to drive on.

The springs are Whiteline Flatouts and have done 18k on my car, again, no damage at all except the notoious Whiteline, powdercoat flaking off and surface rust.

I also have a full set of OEM STI springs that came with the car and the OEM front topmounts. These are in exceptional condition and were removed at 22k miles.

The car has never been in any kind of accident and all these are straight, honest and true.

Jap performance sells the dampers and OEM springs for £400..

I want £250 for the lot collected from Essex.





Heres a pic of my car sat on the above setup, it handled UK roads beautifully.

 

Bargain your car sits at a nicer ride height on those whiteline springs than mine does on the prodrive ones

 

Yeah, the whitelines give a real nice stance Stu. Ive set my coilovers almost exactly the same

 

Is that a TODA zorst Frayz?
