few pics, im lookin for ideas to tidy the engine bay

esp the intake hose,

also a radiator shroud, but would they fit a larger alloy rad

also likes of a nice cover for the fan belt, ac belt

anything else that will genarally tidy things up neatly?

also fitting a set of gold revolution wheels when my tyres arrive in next few days, wheels are here

 

paint and stainless parts are your friend Jef

 

Looks very tidy, I'd stick with the current wheels though - I like revolutions, but the current ones really suit

 

pm me if old wheels are for sale

 

I'd paint the rear spoiler the same colour as the car. Nice V1 though

 

you think?

i do love the revolutions, but was doubtful on a silver car, was torn, really!

but i think im going to go with the revo's

maybe decide when on.

rotas will be for sale mate, only 6 mnths old, with maybe 3-4k miles, tyres good too, so it wont be a give-away mate, altho i would be reasonable,


and btw nice bay prodriver, yeah need to get some polished bits im thinking

 

steve the spoiler is a carbon one so wouldnt paint it,

tbh i think its the dark spoiler that makes the rotas look better, and also what would make the revolutions look a bit odd

think io could get away withem revos if i had a good quality silver spoilerr

but silver can be a **** to match aswell

 

ive got a replica sti 6 in 262 silver and was looking for a carbon 1 if ya wanna do a deal
lovely motor you got there tho mate.

this is my bay.

 

i love the revolutions mate.how much were they and where did you get them from pal?i think im going to get me some

 

leeroy go to the 'trader announcements' section

they are advertised there

very good price to.

also i got a great price on 4 falken 452s from a guy on here, if your interersted ill pass on the details

 

what do people think about doing these white on my car?

luckily ive got a specialist just round the corner

so white wheels on silver classic, hmm???

 

Which one's Jef,the one's currently on or new unfitted one's?

 

thanks for that jef.ive already got the tyre on my old 18s just needed to know where to get the wheels from

 

the unfitted ones mate

 

Honestly id stay with the gold on the new one's mate,i think the gold will look the nut's

 

nice car mate what's the spec your running for 420ish ? as for engine tidy up i would take off some parts and get black crackel paint as that always looks good plus badass do some nice crome covers , a good hose down with engine cleaner ect.. dose the world of difference

 

idprefer to buy new bits and peices where i can, ie header tanks, pulley covers, just not sure where to get, and id like a chrome radiator shroud, but dont know if the ones at scoobyworld would fit as mu alloy rad is slighty thicker than standard?
the cars got a new 2.5, v3 heads, forged pistons, cometic head gaskets, acl bearings, uprated oil pump, sc46 turbo, simtek ,rcm headers, 6 speed, 500lbft clutch. mapped by bob rawle

fun but still need some work doing - bad knocking from front got cdf arb links to go on , think the whole susp took a kicking over that bad weather tbh

 

i know rota's aint cheap as i have the rota boost's on my car mate, pm me a price

 

ok finally got my wheels on, clear the k-sports with ease and i think look much better

well chuffed with gold on silver

 

Looking good Jef!

Welcome to the mileniums club

 

cheers mate, ill never go back,

well for at least 6 months anyway lol

 

last quick pic from today

 

Looks sweet as Jef,gold FTW

 

Old is Gold, stunning! How does she pull at 420ish? A spec would be nice.

 

pulls like a train, love it

2.5, simtek, sc46, 6 speed , rcm headers,sti v3 heads, blitz nur spec, rcm intake trumpet with k&n

500lbft clutch, uprated flywheel

ksports, apex coilovers, whitline arbs, cdf droplinks

godspeed uprated rear discs and pads

thats bout it i think

 

Tasty spec

Using STi 3 heads on V1, is there any wiring work needed or isit a simple bolt on?

 

i didnt do the build personally mate

so honestly couldnt say

altho from what i can see and know there is no major re-wiring involved, just abit for the simtek, thats about it, as far as i know mate

 

Both ver 1 and 3 head casting's are identical so just use existing loom/manifold and away you go.

 

v1/v2 castings are the same , v3/v4 head castings are different to the v1 and v2 as they have different inlet manifolds

 

version 1-4 have the same layout for manifold bolts so manifolds are interchangable.
And you will notice Jef still has ver1 manifold on his now too.
