Front bar is fine.

More of filling the whole gap with a Front Mount Intercooler to remove the blank space each side

[Manuel Kasko]

Just read the whole thing!

Love those photo shoot pictures.

Keep up the great work!

[welsh bob]

yeh i was going to replace the intercooler but it is stamped trust its a genuine greddy item

[Sinista32]

Trust - good gear

[welsh bob]

yeh thats what i wanted but after seing as my trust one is fitted with out cutting any pannels its going to take me convincing to remove all the bumper again and sell my trust one lol

[welsh bob]

i have seen a intercooler with the inlet and outlet pipe the same end which will save me ball ache with pipes but its a non branded one is there any difference between a cheap one and a greddy one ?

[Manuel Kasko]

Pressure drop and how well it cools.

It really depends how well it is made or if it's a good copy of a good intercooler

almost 200 miles on the clutch now god its getting better all the time so to celebrate i treated myself again this time with a set of Gunmetal Rota Gtrs i went a bit mad ordered 18inches x 9.5 allround for a nice wide wheel complete with tyres i know they are expensive but what the hell they cost £1300 with only 2 days wait and on my doorstep

The car didn't want to lose its wheels mind took 3 hours and lots of bent and broken tools to get the studs out but did it in the end

old wheels

bent hammer how hard was i hitting the bar to get the studs free ?

bar bent this was straight 10mins earlier lol

had a cuppa and 5 mins then these turned up just as the last nut came free good timing or what lol

cleaned all the brakes up

fitted

all done

just rubbing slightly on the fronts think im going to try 5mm spacers to see if it helps

[welsh bob]

well fitted 5mm front spacers now job done think i need rear ones to make it even but now the front dont rub on full lock also painted my calipers satin black to freshen things up better pics as well now

[gtr jet]

Same wheels as mine but Jesus that's a lot to get them to the UK (or where ever you are).

[welsh bob]

Yeh i love them thats the price they were with tyres fitted so not to bad

[gtr jet]

Well that's a different story then. Didn't realise that price included tyres. Looking good mate.

[shaunus]

Car looks dope! That front bar though......haha.

[welsh bob]

Well that's a different story then. Didn't realise that price included tyres. Looking good mate.

cheers buddy

[jez NF]

Tyre specs please?

[welsh bob]

tyres all round are Primewell PZ900 225/35/18 94W

[welsh bob]

pic is taken from a local show for charity this is a pic of a pic so quality is not too great

Decided more stuff could come out to make the car lighter stuff again which I don’t need the tar sound deadning

This is the drivers side almost done

All removed and painted to stop any rust forming

Not bad and carpet will be re fitted to retain the factory look once passenger side and rear is done

the tar stuff is really heavy so will be interesting to find out how much i have saved yet again

well all done and back together decided to put the carpet back to make it look better / factory looking but the sound deading weighed in at 7.2kg with most of it out now and a good thing is hardly no difference in road noise

with this all out and weighed i have lost total weight crap i dont want in the car so far = 46.734kg or 7.36 stone with a few more bits to do

17^th November

ok decided for winter project i wanted gtr over fenders but didnt want bad quality ones from shitracer so got in touch with a guy from ireland perfect fitment i gotta say and quality is second to none i decided i was going to do it by cutting out the arches *Gulp* any way heres what i done so far

mock up of drivers side arch

kitted out for fiber glass trimming

rough cuts

perfect fuel flap also note side skirts are off

next was to remove my rear bumper and found out the last owner bonded the whole thing on as bumper is one piece no spats this was a right pain in the butt

but with it all removed you can see no signs of rust

next i got the grinder out and took off about 2 inches all round off the outer wing to leave me this

then stuck some slats in the inner wing so it can be rewelded

so far this is how far i have got only taken me about 2 hours to get it this far

She has come along way, well done mate.

I'm personally loving those tinted headlights, they are set off perfectly with the black wheels and carbon fibre bonnet.

How did you feel hacking into the rear quarters? Pretty nervous lol
