Nice work. Keep the updates coming.

looking good there mate

 

well it ran 297bhp im inneed of an aftermarket ecu now to get more power the engine block is a version 9 bored to 2.1 with v9 rods acl pistons and bearings

 

 

looking good!!

 

Good work so far fella.

 

Looks good so far mate, is that your garage or the local motorclubs garage?

 

wish i had the spaceto strip my motor down,nothing wrong with the cheap spray job as you say,£££ talks,is it good enough for yrs to come or just a base coat for a yr ?

£350 not a bad price for what looks more than just a blow over

 

its mine and a mates we rent it off a local farmer

 

well its just a coat for now and when im back into work again i can get good job done but its not a bad job to be honest i can live with it anyway

 

well did a few more hours on it today and my mate got his r5 back from paint aswel

got the bumper and lights in

 

looks bloody awesome !!!
Think the scoop is mounted in the wrong direction, isn't it?^^

cheers
Nico

 

Room for one more like?

 

lloking good mate . lke the r5 colour

 

haha was woundering wen sum1 wud say that about the scoop, well basicaly im on a budget and im going for no spoiler look and reverse the scoop so ive just turned the scoop around with a bit a cutting to the bonnet, personaly im not sure about the look but i want sumet different and it might grow on me, but alson got another original bonnet and boot with my spoiler on it so can have two different looks by just changing them over.

 

well not at the min mate it would probs go in but no room to work but aswell you are a stranger and wouldnt let any1 come in but you are tts member so when mine is done and go to a meet and meet you if you go to them? could get to know you.

 

i got the front grill back and they sprayed it all white so i masked it off and sprayed the inside and top black

my front splitter was completly fooked and the bodyshop wouldnt even fix it so my mate said he would fix it and he did a good job just needs spraying white now

 

Aye I'm on TTS... been to a couple of the meets, but no one really talks to me (as im not in the scooby)

Were you at the Teesside Park meet the other month?

Love the look of it. White is the best. But then I am biased
