Default my prodrive pack bugeye

Well thought i would start a sort of progress thread of my scooby as it is still relatively standard ive had it about 2 months now and i have sum planned mods for it most of u will probably already of seen it as ive posted a couple of threads before so here she is current mods are

ppp pack
prodrive exhaust
k&n filter
and unknown make chav valve







recieved this on saturday courtesy of rob day (cheers mate) so sort of my first mod lol



and recieved these today cant wait to get them fitted as they are well needed lol



also ordered this on friday as my current one looks like it has been in there since the war so im hoping it arrives either today or tomorrow



so thats it for now will keep updating when i make changes future mods will be refurbing the wheels once i decide on colour or changing them for a set of 18's and i want a high level spoiler as im not massively keen on the current one oh and a different exhaust dont want to squeeze to much power out of it as its done 90k so i think if i start pushing the engine it will pop so im gonna just wait till im a bit better financially and maybe save for a rebuild

cheeRS craig

Change the wheels to some 18's as these ones look to small but gonna refurb these ones grey in the mean time then I want a decent exhaust system and buy some black headlights as I'm to nervous to try painting these ones myself lmao

Probably sti lamps as the prodrive seem to fetch top money lol Very interested if you still have it next month I will have it off you as funds are a bit tight at the moment is it a cat back and wht style exhaust tip?? I want to put more power under the bonnet but I'm worried about killing the engine because it's done 90k

well thought i would give this a little update as been doing a few bits and bobs so firstly i found out i had fitted the springs back to front which is why i was squatting so swapped them over and it levelled out



well this week ive taken my wheels off to be refurbed as the one was buggered a friend of mine lent me his wheels just to sit it on whilst they are being done so she now looks like this



the offending wheel


the colour ive gone for is gun metal grey so im hoping it will look smart

well today i decided to paint my calipers as they were lookin a bit rusty it was pissing down so had to do them in my garage and its a bit tight lol


so here is what i started with


wire brushed them down and gave it a couple of coats of red paint



and then the lettering tbh its not the best i dont really have a steady hand lol but im hoping once the wheels are on it wont be that obvious that my colouring skills arent nop notch lol


whilst i was waiting for them to dry i looked at my wheel nuts and they looked a bit rusty and horrible i thought about buying a new set but thought i would have a go with some auto sol and im quite impressed with the results

so from this


to this



all 5 compared to the rear 5


so thats where im at so far my wheels should be finished on saturday will post pics of the finished result
