yes mate, not spencer are u?

Na Mate, Luke, used to work with him. Heard about the death of your old motor about a week after I bought mine, felt for you mate! Seems to have all turned out for the best though! Dont fancy doing a seat swap do you?!

[big69g]

:roflmao:
Seat swap? Ha ha, surprisingly not!

Yeah think he told me that someone he used to work with had one as well. Has urs got the forum stickers on the rear windows? If it has I've seen yours going about quite a bit.

Thanks mate!

Look forward to seeing it all fitted! Did my HID's a week of so back, very fiddly just take your time! :thumbup:

Little update:

Fitted my neuspeed short shifter courtesy of someone on here. Forgot user name now though
Werent too hard to fit, apart from the :bad-words: metal clip refitting part! But defineately worth it!





Fitted new number plate l.e.d's .
They dont look too bright in the pics but do the job in the flesh.



Fitted new HID's, cant recommend these enough. Again, not hard to fit apart from the one behind drivers side light! Also fitted matching interior bulbs, that are much brighter but the pics been deleted off photobucket for some reason. Also fitted LED sidelights to match them. These were a right bugger as where the car has been lowered, i couldnt pull the wheel arch down far enough to get my bloody arms up to the bulb, so had to jack it each side so that the wheel dropped far enough from the arch to change them! Again they dont look too bright here but they are when you see them on the car. Also note the silvervison front indicator bulbs which has also been fitted at the back.

Before:



After:



Fitted tegiwa brake stopper (another bugger to fit but its done now :badrazz: )



Overall shots:

looking good mate! :thumbup:

[JAG_615F]

Very nice mate :salut:

[big69g]

Update time!

Finally recieved my JDM deflectors. These were brand new and was really pleased with the fit (after reading bluntcaps guide :thumbup: )
Im hoping they dont start sagging, but i shouldnt think they will as the standard tape has got really good contact all the way down the window frame:









The reason the wipers are parked like that in the pics is because i was fitting the new scuttle panel ready for the tegiwa M.

Also fitted jazz washer jets:



Recieved the tegiwa M, brenscivic cam cover and carbon inlet mani cover:



Skunk 2 Gearknob:




Just waiting for a carbon spark plug cover now and ill be laughing. Also forgot to mention the joer fuse box cover, to go with the rest of the carbon. Buddy club oil and rad caps also fitted:











Took longer than i thought to get the tegiwa fitting right, but its all good now. The sound is unreal, also like the ppppfffftttssshhh noise it makes when you switch the ignition off

Gear knob fitted:





Not sure what to do next on the car, probably exhaust, mani, k-proetc. But thats going take some saving. Keep your comments rolling in! :bigthumb:

[wadkins14]

Engine bay will look :cooldude: once you get the new carbon plug cover fitted :thumbup:

[brenscivic]

looks great mate. :thumbup:

i would get some blue domed nuts for the cam cover. :thumbup:

[big69g]

Cheers Bren. Quality of the cam cover is :bigthumb:

Think i may go for some of those anodized nuts, just gotta source em!

[brenscivic]

tegiwa do them. :thumbup: or pro-bolt

[SR-25]

[andy-l-type-r]

Some excellent pictures and mods there good work

Thanks buddy, pics were only taken on a sony digital camera/iphone 4 but i thought they came out well considering im not much of a photographer! Would love some pro shots done of it though!

:cooldude:

Thanks man, yeah really happy with how they turned out. When they are clean and in the sun, they look lighter and have a really cool sparkle/shine to them. I didnt pay any extra for the paint over what i would have done for a basic colour (ford moondust silver) etc.
Dont know how far away you are but cant recommend Lepsons in Gillingham enough. Top service, the guys are rerally professional and the wheels really did come out looking brand new.
Thanks for comment about they bay, took me enough time/blood/sweat/cursing :bad-words:

Anyone got any suggestions as to what to do next?
Im thinking dc exhaust manifold,
custom silenced 2.5" b pipe,
spoon N1,
RBC,
K100/K-Pro,
J's racing strut brace

[wadkins14]

Buy a decent catback and fit it.
Then buy Kpro, DC mani and an RBC in what ever order and have it all fitted and mapped at the same time :thumbup:

[SeanEP3]

car looks great dude!

where did you get the lighting for the numberplate & interior?

thanks

Sean

[big69g]

number plate was one of leeh's one, just searc for 501 led bulb, im sure something will come up!

Interiors are festoon type ones, much better than standard :thumbup:

Can anyone recomend a decent exhaust/manifold set up? I want something subtle, but that doesnt cost the earth. Cant be doing with an exhaust that will give me a headache on the motorway though! Any help is greatly appreciated. :thumbup:
