I'm now bored with all the usual mods that everyone does, so lets see some one offs. Anything that you cant buy in the shops/on the net.

Here is one of mine. Commander in a dash mount.

 

And some home made ABS flaps

 

Commander in a dash mount. that looks pretty cool and looks very smart fairplay thats deffo worth copy writing

 

Oh! Go on then....

 

Sorry top one bit big..
Spot the mods???

 

Cant beat the pick up for originality , but done lots of bits and bobs - some original and some copied - but all one offs made by me for the car.

Before i put a front mount on, made a custom undertray/splitter arrangement for fitting a Version8 TMIC on my car.

Excellent.
Like the FC in the dash (if you have the face lift) and that TMIC bracket is great!
Novel thread, wish i could contribute!

probably the most expensive one...

Made my own intercooler

 

Intresting...does this work well?

 

Mark your putting all of us to shame what an array of gadgetry


Right not quite on such a grand scale but here I go,


Firstly SECS monitor with Knocklink built in...



Now an off the car mod

Ever noticed how much a pain it is to jack the car up with a trolly jack, well ended up modding the jack so there is a rubber coated lump of ally on the end with a groove cut into it just allows the sill jacking points to sit in it nicely.





How's that

 

The knocklink in the secs monitor looks superb Simon!

Im liking the trolley jack mod BUT its still not clever IMHO doing it on the chassis rails with a trolley jack. Just put it on the sump to lift both fronts up, or the rear diff to do the rears.

 

Will let you know when i get my hands on the group buy for the inlet temp gauge kit in a few weeks.


Andy

 

I've got an awkard driveway that would make me very nervous of jacking the car up like that Mark... but yes I do see your point and always keep a very close eye on the rails when I lift it.

 

my own little spoiler lifters... made the world of difference on the wing

 

Lifting it on the sump... OUCH!!
better to lift on the steel plate just behind the sump.


Andy

 

Yes thats what i meant on the crossmembery type thingy.

Great job on the IC by the way Andy! make me one????

 

does this count i made the sti stencil to spray the intercooler

I added another little one off last night! Bit of OTT bling never hurt anyone

Over on the P1woc, one of the guys organises a group buy for limited edition plaques (unlike RB5/WR1 the P1 does not have a factory fitted one)

Normal place for fitment is in the centre console tray, but i have stuck one on a polished stainless plate and mounted it at the rear of the engine bay. obviously only works with a FMIC.

All very, very cool! Keep them coming!

 

Si, you an engineer mate, like the jack idea,

 

P1 Mark,

Your mods are stunning mate, My favorite gas to be the battery cover!!

Love stuff like that because it looks better than factory :d

Great work mate, keep it up. Shame you dont make more of that stuff, id buy some

 

I'm not Mick but a mate in work is, he likes my interesting projects it gives him something to think about for a change, we normally throw a few ideas in the pot between us then I go off and see what parts I can find about the place

 

Some great stuff here!

I reckon there would be quite a few people interested!

 

Frayz/Sir Fozzalot - Thank you very much for the nice comments.

Best get in the que

I normally make a couple of most things if i have time, but its for mates really. its not my full time employment so i dont need to make a living out of it so would rather keep it as a hobby IYSWIM

Obviously i am an engineer, and lucky enough to have access to kit and materials to make anything i want to really, but im sure you will understand its best not to take the pi$$ with these matters!

Obviously things like the battery covers and reservoir caps i could make a lot of money on but its not worth the risk

 

Bought 3 back boxs that were the wrong size/model so in the end made i "made it av it". Not sure if made any difference but power is up from 264 to 284 with this mod and a K&N Induction kit rather than panel filter and a unduction pipe.

Knocklink LEDs in A-pillar pod



Cold air shield

 

I think Mark and Andy are the winning duo so far. Like the stencil for the STI logo. Have you thought about making some and selling them on?

 

Mark thats very nice m8 looking forward to seeing it and pinching some ideas this Year
Heres my input to the thread.

 

What we looking at?
