Definitely

I'm not sending the car down to Enginetuner until I have everything possible that I can get for the build! Suspension mods will have to wait as that's another £700 I don't need to spend until after the build!

 

Ohhhh Shiney

 

Oh yeah

Received my Supertech Inlet/Exhaust valves and stem seals today

Just waiting on paying for a few bits-

Carbon roof
Clutch and Flywheel (ACT clutch, possibly OEM 6 speed flywheel)
Wheels

Then fit the rest of the 6 speed setup, repair the wiring loom where it melted from the heat from the headers

Hopefully when the weather picks up, I can de-gunge the underneath, paint the hubs and fit the brakes etc so I can get it rolling at least!

Then, after all that is done can I concentrate on getting the engine away for building

Not much to do! Thank god for my summer rota where I work 3-4 day weeks got a lot to get through!!

 

Its very dangerous looking through Advaced Automotives ebay shop, within 2 minutes i've spent £2k in my head.

 

In 5mins I've rebuilt my engine, and spent over 10k in my head, it's endless

Imagine visiting their warehouse

 

Merv,

No wonder you've looked at my thread, I basically described building a car that will look like yours rom the front!!!
FMIC, 99/00 front bumper, P1 splitter, RA roof flap, on a white classic Superb thread for inspiration

 

Cheers buddy luckily mine was done before I bought it! I really like the 22b vents but the mrs is unsure, need your car to be done so I can show her she says it's got the P1 front end so leave it that way, if you want the 22b look, get the bumper and arches she knows her stuff !

 

I lurve pressies, with the RCM couldn't you do what INTEL do. Take a photo and laminate it onto the tank with the words RCM inside

 

I could do that dude but can't be arsed lol

Got a few Prezzies today



Here's one opened




Will open the Large one later but it's made of carbon

 

What you are bought carbon roof Merv?

Nice alloys love the colour Merv,will look nice on yours


Jura

 

Nice one Merv,love the milleniums on a classic,good luck with the roof as well mate
If you need a hand just let me know or like I said before your more than welcome to come to my workshop to do the job

 

Cheers Jura

Here's a preview of my roof as soon as we get a few dry days I'll set about fitting it

 

Cheers Ryan, thanks for the offer buddy, I'll probably be giving you a bell for some advice on fitting it, the car won't be running or a long while yet and want everything done for when the engine is fitted

 

will be interested to see this roof! Good luck and good to read!

 

Looking great mervil. Love the chose of rims and carbon roof.

Looks like a 044. Did you get a swirl pot?

 

Thank you very much

Cheers buddy, I will be getting a swirl pot, possibly an SM Engineering one! And yes, it's an 044

 

Wicked Looking project

 

I was in the mind of wanting you to do this as quick as possible,but looking at all these stunning ,top end additions i've changed my mind and will just drool over the photos.

This project is hopefully gonna be an absolute screamer and a well respected car in the area.

If you need any help with anything at all give us a bell,the offers always open.

 

Cheers buddy


Thanks matey I will take you up on that offer

I kinda have to get the car rolling ASAP as we are in the process of buying our first house! Good news is, it has a garage so I can crack on with sorting it out once the initial shock of extra cash going out has passed

 

Part 1 of getting it rolling



Wheel test fitted

 

That's the front and rear brakes on

 

Nice one Merv,looking very nice,love the brakes and alloy combo,they're lush

What size of tyres you are going?


Jura

 

Looks very good Merv

Keep up the good work.

Rob

 

Thanks Jura

Going for 225/35/18 Falken 452s! Hopefully I can find a cheap supplier

 

Thanks Rob, I'll certainly try

Can't wait to get a garage, the roof will be going on without having to worry about the great British Weather

 

Liking that Merv,bet your starting to get excited mate

 

Not yet Ry, as soon as the engine get shipped to Plymouth, then it'll be party time

 

You'll be like a dog with 2 d!cks then
Got mine in the workshop now mate
I seriously need to stop buying stuff now though lol.

 

I'm the same buddy, I bought a steering wheel I didn't need, sold perfectly good wheels that I could've kept and a carbon roof that I didn't need also it's a roller coaster and a half this modding lark !!

 

Love the wheels mate, brakes look top. Great together
