Yeah deffo, I`d be after my front end doing just the bumper, bonnet and mirrors.

 

It stretches and clings better than the wrap material and is designed for the curved and fluted front ends, wings etc etc.

 

I was forgetting about this thread.... a small update maybe

I dumped the CAI idea I could not get a kit I was happy with the quality was sadly lacking. But what I done is fit the induction sheild from the states (thanks Ty) along with a red finish RCM induction kit along with finishing the Miltek system off, finially finished off with a 310L RCM fuel pump to be safe.

All fitted by Andy at Ace and it was then mapped by Bob Rawle from Ace as the mapping base.... and a big thanks to Dean for doing the driving, he got a lot more out of it than I ever would that's for sure. Bob was very complimentory of the car and how it mapped he said it was a good one, no print off for bhp as the roads up there are not flat enough for a decent power run but Bob estimates around the 340/330 area and it goes so well now

Since that I have had the geometory re done along with the coilovers adjusted for height and checked with Andy and we have dropped the front of the car 20mm as it was to high and it has made a massive difference to not only the look but the way the car handles.

No new pictures at the moment but I will have some in a few days time

One little job that I am looking at doing at some point will be getting the car up on stands removing the discs and then I can rub down and paint the centres plus the gaurds behind the discs, then at the same time I can re paint the inner arches and get it back up to scratch.

 

Sounds great Si ,bet it goes well

 

A top job by Ti22today I have to say. These are just a couple of quick phone pics








Thanks to James the car now looks like I know it can

 

Where's the like button

 

It has been gleaming since you've owned it

 

A progress update on my Type R (at long last!):-

She's been up with Lee (Catalunya 172) and the team at OSE for the past two months , and starting to take shape now....

(dodgy phone pics, but you get the idea what's going on)













....and this little baby turned up yesterday ready for fitting with the Safety Devices cage at the weekend



Just a few finishing touches to do ready for Epynt Hillclimb on 16th of June..... I cannot wait!


Steve

 

Fair play James has done a cracking job on that .

Job done

 

Nice looking pics. The R is looking clean!

 

Lovely Guy's - top cars

 

Here's a few up to date after James has detailed the car last week.

https://www.scoobynet.com/members-ga...-detailed.html

 

How much is a quick shift for a 6 speed box, I dropped one in the classic and it made a massive difference but I don't here to much talk of the new age variants ?

 

Think they are a lot of money for a six speed si

 

I will not be getting one if that's the case nightmare it is a great mod too.

 

Don't hold me to it but when I was looking for my six speed they were expensive but times have changed since then so hopefully they have come down in price

 

Thanks Lee... I'll try a couple of calls next week and see what I can suss out, Dean thought they may be pricey when I asked him earlier, not easy to fit from the sound of it not like the rubber mallet on the 5 speed.

 

Cool car looks stunning BTW

 

Try and find a Spec C being broken as they already have the short throw linkage as standard, or buy a Spec C end of problem.

The 6 speed short shifters are quite expensive as the reverse gear is on a lift collar and engage, whereas on a 5 speed you depress the lever and engage - plus there aren't too many companies making them for the 6 speed as they are more complex and more expensive to make.

 

Great Ty thanks for that. It's starting to sound like mission impossible on a budget and it will be lady luck to find a spec c gear box that someone would be willing to split but I'll give it a go

 

Had a quick look on google mate, Seen a few US companies that do them, Perrin, Cobb and Agency Power all make short shifters for 04on STIs prices start at about $90 from what i can see.

 

I'll have to get over to nasioc and see what I can find Dean, that's not a bad price plus import tax at all.

 

I've just picked these up from the states ready for my centre consol colour change, first impression they look very good quality.... I'm waiting on the red jdm hazard switch to go. In as well then out it all comes for painting.

 

Looking forward to seeing this in October mate

 

Prodrive.... Great Frayz it's been a while and looking forward to catching up with you as well and that day should really show everyone just how far up the scale your car actually is these days.

 

Prodrive meet should be great so nice to be back in a Scoob!

Your centre console should look pretty cool once all done Si

 

Lol,
There are so many nice cars out there these days and so many running big bhp these days. I doubt it will stand out among some of the company attending.
Be great to see so many of you again, it's been too long.

 

It will Frayz trust me

In the last couple of weeks a little progress has been made...

From...



To....



And finally...



The old Kenwood head unit is going to be up for sale when I have a minute if anyone is interested.

 

113, got that in my Clio mate. Cracking little unit. I got a 123R in the impreza. I love the Alpine stuff. Great interface and looks so much better than everything else IMO.

 

Nice new head unit mate looks a lot smarter than the kenwood, big fan of Alpine stuff!!
Got built in Parrot bluetooth on that model as well, nice
