Some of you may remember part one here

Today (actually December 4th – I’ve been busy since, but more of that later ) it was my turn to have my car hacked up

The car presently is running a full Magnex decat, k&n 57i, Tek3, STi 6 i/c and a forge vta . Now time for a Hybrid front mount

Pic show:



Out with the old





Off with the bumper





..but what do we have here





If you look closely you can see the rusty member support bracket thingy which was Si’s straight edge. Cheers Si




Minor metalwork tweaking





Lunch - a big shout out to Simb’s missus





What you looking at?





To me……… to you





Nice





Very nice





Many hands…….



My bumper as was….





You won’t believe how much bumper has to disappear.






Bit of a tweak.





Time for a re-fit.





Getting there.




All done





A massive thankyou to Simon, Simb, Danny, Daz and Mat for services over and above the call of duty. A fantastic day was had and even the weather decided to be kind.

 

I can remember the personal sacrifice

 

Fixed

 

They came out rather well

How does the car feel now with the new Turbo and all ?

 

Very nice That's my next mod I think

 

Since that weekend, i have visited Scooby Clinic with an uprated fuel pump and this -


Due to ****e mobile pic, i shall point out that this is a VF35 as found on STi8's WR1's etc.
So adding all the ingredients together, i now have this


It has just short of 300ib/ft if you can't make it out. Apparently the bhp figure is not bad for Scooby Clinics rollers, so maybe a trip to the next Well Lane shoot out is in order for a bit of pub talk
The car is completly different to drive. Each gear is despatched in no time what so ever. The only run i've had against anything quick was an Audi S3 - dicked on it

 

Simon you look like harry hill with those safety glasses on

The grinder shot puts it all into perspective, its not for girls

 

Harry Hill

I'm thinking of growing what I have then side combing it over to enter the TopGear open top car challenge...... for those that missed that it's to see how high the parting lifts in the wind

 

Looking good Brun.

Which of those hunks of manliness is you?

Are you going to move or shrink your front number plate?

 

Well done lads
Top job and looks

as cliff said. lots of ppl standing around giving advice

Great weather, cups of tea, sarnies and a bit of dicking around with an angle grinder ..perfect combination

I see you managed to retain your fog fittings as well, which I beieve is a right PITA.
I take it next on the list is a tiny front number plate now...

 

That's normally Cliff and Chris just standing looking.....smoking and drinking tea/coffee.

 

oi
dont muppetise this thread

 

looks really cool mate.Im just new to scoobynet but very impressive

 

He's the guy taking the pics.

 

Cause he's wearing a Boiler Suit?!

Great job, nice results too!!


Cheers,
Grant

 

Sticks and Stones ..........................

 

Well I think its a very nice boiler suit Si Even if it is immaculately clean

 

Indeed - i'm the guy taking the pics
I'm not pretty enough for the other side of the camera
A smaller plate is on the cards but nothing too illegal

 

good to see some pics,it got dark pretty quick that day i thought we might have to put mark up for another night,a few more problems on this one than dans but we got there.glad its all done.the bills in the post.

 

very nice mate!
seems a shame to block out those valuble cold air particals with your number plate tho!
why not get yourself a square one and offset it?

looks awsome though!!

 

Nice job , didn't realise how much was involved

 

What the hell is wrong with my back, I look like the hunch back!!

simb

 

Just a word of caution in that grinder shot.The metal particles land on ya paintwork and attatch themselves as they are warm,when it rains the car may start to look a rusty colour and feel rough to the touch,i did this to the outlaws fiesta van when doing some welding under it and it looked not good,it was only an old clapper anyway so did'nt really matter but best to cover the scoob in old sheets.

 

Hey Si your hairs growing m8

 

Nice of you to notice someone positive Si
I'm starting to think that I'm loosing some of my hair here with all the bald comments floating about

Good point about the sparks Paul, it was not as bad as it looked as Danny was angled away from the car with most of the sparks, but certainly yes it's one to keep in mind. I should know as I have a nice rusty patch on the glass of the conservatory door ( as silly as it sounds ) from where I had the grinder on some steel a while back and I still can't find anything that will get it off.
