Well in short I been making it my own Got to apologise in advance as I'm no good at writing threads.

Had it for nearly 6 months now and absolutely love it!!

Bit of before and after but as you all know it's never finished!

Fitted RCM headers and up pipe and took it to Martyn at enginetuner for a full map. Started off at 389bhp



Ended up like this! Car is totally different, transformation is amazing!

Now well happy with the performance, It's onto the styling!

Engine bay when i picked it up


Had most of the plastics hydro dipped and added silicone hose kit and a load of Perrin styling parts. Looks 100 times better.. (please excuse the coke bottle cap lol)


Had the grille hydro dipped and wing mirror caps in black with gold carbon film. Also a set of hella's.



Next up Interior, The car already has lovely WR1 seats and back carpet so all I wanted to do was update it abit with the following..
Widetrack cente console
Nardi wheel (not genuine)
Toucan










couple of show off pics lol









No doubt more to be continued lol

Looks really nice mate good job on the engine bay.

 

looking good,

one question... why would you remove the air bag? surely it's a step backwards on safety, your head would hit the steeringwheel.

 

I live life on the edge!

 

Looking great Dan :-)

 

Good thread. Love this car!

 

Cars looking smart can't imagine what 400 bhp feels like, most i've had is 280bhp

 

Looking good mate

 

Not done nothing to the outside, looks great as is! You done good Gary.

400bhp feels goooooooood but still want more!!!

 

NICE.SJ.

 

Very nice mate

Martin

 

Nice work & very nice car!

 

Stuning, Possible one of the best blob eye's ive seen.

Power and looks are spot on

Good work

 

Was the power increase just due to shopping over to RCM headers and a map tweak?

If so, tha my mind made up on them.

 

Yes it was quite laggy and was told to try RCM headers and it was certainly worth it on this car. Gained good torque and spools up earlier, my advice if going over 400 then get some!


Thank you all for your great comments. She is a beauty!

 

Nice. Always liked this scoob.

 

Changed header tank back to OE one powder coated black with red anodised washers and stainless bolts



Fitted Oil pressure and Temp sensors for my toucan.



Gave her a clean.





More updates to come no doubt.....
Cheers
Dan
