Sorry been house renoing.....and fixing.

A bit behind on the happenings

[SCR48]

All good. Went to Metallon today to get new brackets made up. They've estimated 5 working days till I have them back

Picked up boot lid yesterday from a mates place who gave it a quick lick of black. At this stage im not sure weahter to keep it black or wrap in in CF vinyl like last time. I think as this stage ill leave it black and get all the holes for spoiler drilled in and then decide what to do.

Also picked up a new catch can setup that arrived yesterday. Its a 2L tank, think it may be too big to fit in the bay with that sized breather on top

Thanks Mathew, at this stage the covers will go blue as my mate has some of it lying around. Definitely will go a deep purple in the future.

All build threads start somewhere. I've owned this car for over 6 years and i've really only started pushing the limits in the last 2. Your car is a great base to start with and looks tidy!

Quickly threw the bootlid on tonight to see what it looked like. Terrible phone quality.

There's a newish CF vinyl which you can find on ebay called 'Carbon Fiber 4D' and it looks fairly legit compared to the old textured CF vinyl. I bought a sample and was quite impressed.

I might have to have a look at this. See how it looks when the spoilers finished and on then take it from there

Motor still at PLR going through options. RB26 covers painted. Really like the blue so far.

I've always liked metallic blue

[SCR48]

Its a bit lighter than your blue i think Ants. Will be interesting to see what its like on the motor.

Played around with the car a little bit today. Ripped out all the air con gear along with some other unwanted engine bay items.

Ive also stated the long process of degreasing the engine bay. One thing i have noticed is this will take a long time!

Air Con out. Didnt have a large enough spanner to get this out so it was a good excuse to buy an over the top spanner collection. 8mm-32mm should do it.

Here is a picture of the one area i cleaned today. Still a bit here to get rid of

Also here is a photo or the top of the firewall, jsut to show you a before and after with the degreaser

[MathewZ]

No offence but i hope you got the air conditioning gas removed professionally or removed by your self the proper way and didnt just let it out into Atmos

[SCR48]

None taken. Air con hasn't had gas since I imported the car over 6 years ago

I don't mind the boot with no spoiler. Keen to see it when it's finished though. Rocker covers look mad.

I ran the no spoiler look for a long time till i got the drag wing. Once you see a 33 with the flush bootlid its hard to see it with only the stock one and still like it

Thanks Ants. coming along slowly. the tough side is still yet to come. There is a lot more shit on the other side of the engine bay to work around. Baby steps

yeah that takes a real long time.

Make sure you apply a sealant like some turtle wax after to keep that engine a bit cleaner longer
