Some peeps have queried how am I running 368bhp with out a fmic reason is I am running the pace setup it's nice and stealth and no cutting needed :-),
I will be working on the engine side soon but it runs sweet as and no leaks so no need to touch yet.

Loving the look matey, well done.

On a slightly different note, anyone now if anyone makes a rear diffuser in this style for a blob?

howes124 27 December 2012 05:13 PM

Have a word with ABW mate.

howes124 27 December 2012 05:16 PM

Just remember fitting one of these diffuser's you lose half your boot lol, And the cost of modifying you exhaust.

Looking good howes, what did you make the stiffi's from? I've been looking a set for the version 6 spoiler for quite a while now with no luck, interested in making any more? I for one would buy a set!

Cheers Stephen

Next up I am relocating the indicators and getting rid of the slits in the front bumper with some smaller air ducts to feed the brakes :-).

Great project
Enjoyed reading this
The rear end cut out looks amazing like the winner of the last 2 NBO s

And nice to see a DIY project instead of a cheque book one

Correct, the D1 wheel nuts are a bit flimsy.

Oppps lol, Once I get the new wheels fitted I will be doing away with the spacers :-).

JamesDundee 24 January 2013 09:50 PM

Looks great! Was hoping you were still planning on running wide wheels as spaced out wheels never look quite as good as wide ones!

Am going to be running the wider wheels :-), Just using spacers so I still have use of the car.

BHPvstorque 27 January 2013 04:46 PM

very interested if you do offer those front splitters for sale or even the stiffis !! car looks sweet am going to have a go at the abw rear diffuser also looks sweet.. no one seems to do those wing stiffis for the classic model those look good quality.

BHPvstorque 27 January 2013 04:48 PM

btw I also have those exact wheel nuts from d2 in blue and twisted one when fitting so I need to get a new set mind you at £20 not too big a deal just make sure it is all the way on the nut before unwinding as they twist real easy..

howes124 27 January 2013 07:27 PM

Change of job soon means I will have more time on my hands, Will keep you posted on the splitter, stiffi score :-).

ad uk 27 January 2013 07:30 PM

Looks good those arches look like the thinner ones they look good not to wide

howes124 28 January 2013 04:06 PM

Well the cars gone in to storage for a month or so now bit gutted just won't to drive it :-(,

All the suspension has been removed so will give me a chance to have a tidy up ,

As its of the road will do some chassis work already have a h-brace, whiteline strut braces f/r, 22mm anti roll bars, and saving for some tein coilovers "super street" with edfc, And at bargain prices pays to wait and keep your eyes peeled :-).
