Looks really good mate and good spec. Any chance of a side profile please? I'm particularly interested in what the Grids look like on a hatch. Thanks

nice dash top

Cheers mate

Only one iv got of the side is this one from when I first brought it

Thanks , I think it looks loads better than the original :thumb:

Brilliant thanks. I'm liking that!

Loving the red bits, giving me ideas! :)

Lovely car, choice mods. Bet that's a fantastic road car.

Thanks ,, yeah it's defo getting there , still a few more things to sort out before I'm 100% happy with it as none of the underside has been updated yet really so still room to improve things before it gets un road worthy lol :thumb:

starting to want a hatch!! very nice

Go on treat yourself , you deserve it ;),, thanks for the kind comment :thumb:

Very nice :thumb:

What's the japspeed exhaust like, thinking of fitting one during my engine rebuild. Is it very loud or just bassy?

How much fettling was involved with fitting those seats? I could be tempted.....

the exhaust is fairly quite so I'll prob be getting a louder one at some point ,, the seats fitted ok with a bracket made up for one rear mount but most of the hard work was done when I brought them

Just got my forced performance red housing polished by a chap local to me , he only charged me £25 which I thought was a bargain and looks awesome ,, won't be fitting it just yet as got other things to do first

Do you still have the original recaros ?

No sorry ended up selling them as I got a offer I couldn't refuse

can't believe you'd swap the recaro for the fixed seat.. and why did you swap the head unit?

The recaros were nice but the sides were wearing very fast so my mind was made up to replace them with fixed back seats and store them , then I got offered a very good price for the recaros so ended up selling them as everything has a price lol

As for the stereo iv still got the original unit but mine does far more and I can control my phone and charge it via my headunit it unlike the original one

Domino46 where did you get the vf turbo billet conversion?

It came on the car when I got it but was done by JGM (RIP)

Ended up changing the rear light overlays to ones with tinted indicators as mine were left red before ,, and went badgeless on the grill , I know some don't like this look but I like it :thumb: , and done a perrin number plate delete

How much did you get for the recaros by the way? I really want a set but can't find a used set anywhere lol

I'll pm you as the person may not want me saying how much he paid :thumb:

Forced performance red turbo has now been fitted (hoping for 450)
Forced performance 84mm inlet pipe
80mm induction kit and maf housing
GT spec headers
Front mount now plumbed in
Battery relocated to boot to make room for a swirl pot but this was done after the pics lol

I really like it overall, though just a bit too much red on the rear for me. There is just something about that pinstripe that's really bugging me....

Love the FMIC and interior. Bet she's lovely to drive.

Thanks mate , as with most of them it's work in progress so I'm not finished just yet :thumb:

It looks fantastic, only thing I would change would be the rear, seems to be a bit too much going on. Bar that, lovely, lovely motor!

Matt.

Where did you get your perrin plate relocation from? I've been looking for one for a while now

I agree, the back looks a little fussy and the Black / Red combo is quite old fashioned (all imo)

but looks good otherwise
