Cant believe everyone left so fast, ****ing carpark racers!!!!! What car were you in mate?

Cheers mate its taken a while but havnt done much visually really , i will one day once i get the bodywork sorted, not alot tho haha i like the oem'ness haha

Spoiler tilt was done with some spacers and longer bolts on the stock bolts, i just thought it gave it that slightly more aggresive look without buying a new spoiler Can be done with just a pile of washers if you dont have any spacers so ive heard!!

thanks man, it looks 10x better than the stock height. ..u mean extend the stock bolt or replace it wit longer one.? any pic?

My foglight lense has now given up after a light tap with my foot to show i still hadnt fixed it to si, it smashed........ so now i have to buy a whole new set as no1 sells F'ing lenses, WHY DID I BUY FOGLIGHTS nothing but a pain in the arse!!

Still went for a cool drive tho, Mine & Si's Malvers Drives FTW Allways end up somewhere epic

2 weeks later



i got theese a while ago of "tegboy" , just got em back from being powdercoated & stuck some nice rubber on em (only on briefly they will be back off 2morrow, need to save the tyres for propper use!

Also got some new light nuts of Si as my old ones have seen better days!!, Legend!!!

Also, a temporary fix for the foglight before i get a new bumper to remove them

Lucky i kept all the broken glass that fell out!

its a bit shitty, but better than a gaping whole and you cant really tell THAT much lol

 

[J-Spec]

love silver ek's those ek9 wheels look awesome

why dont you get some black or yellow film and put it over the glass may help keep it together

 

[NeilVtec]

Going to get rid of the foglights soon anyway just gotta find a new bumper

 

[NeilVtec]

Got a couple of fitted pics but on very uneven ground as you can see, they are back in the garage now but will get some pics on my trackday on 1st of may!

Great job ... nice car!

 

[NeilVtec]

Took it for a wee outing on saturday @ mallory park!

Now i know what needs doing, with what ive got i need a bit more front and rear camber,

Then i need a better seat & harness's , new disks & pads all round (i was running OEM)
then Swap my front springs onto the back then get some harder springs up front


and then a bigger engine as i was catching people in the corners but had no power to get past them on the straights! (not all of them anyway )

Great to get a good feel for it with the newer mods on though.
now i have a definate plan again!

Great day out loved every second of it! Cant wait for the next one and to go back to the ring again!

 

[ry4N]

[NeilVtec]

[egshane]

[NeilVtec]

Afraid they are already sold mate, they went ages ago!

Cheers! Cant wait to get more done to it, just need to buy a little run-around and get it off the road first!

 

[filipe vti]

Very nice project!

 

[NeilVtec]

Been a while since I updated, only a wee bit done!.... At the moment lol

First off I got some new tyres, After a lot of debating I went with Hankook RS2’s and Filled them with nitrogen, Great tyres

Then got some new hardrace bushed put on my front arms as when I got the rest of the car done my front droplinks were seized so couldn’t do them before, not they are on it feels nice and tight! While I was down at DMS Dixon also offered fit my front Dixcel Blanks for me, Good Man!!
So I got them fitted and then fitted the new rears when I got home. Jobs a goodun!

Now ive just got to bed them in before I leave for the ring on the 20th

Pics,

New Tyres

New Discs

(& 1 x random picture)

 

[Sharpshifter]

this is one sweet build
keep up the good work mate

 

[NeilVtec]

Just got back from my week at the ring with Mattharvey & Many others, Awesome week!!!! , Really impressed with the car, nothing let me down at all & it handled great, maybe a slightly more aggressive geo next time but only slightly! Cant recomend hankook RS2's enough, Great tyres, and the dixcel blanks were awesome aswell. Best time was 9min 30sec from bridge to bridge, I could of gone faster but after 3 of the cars from the trip not making it home i didnt want to push it much harder as i wanted to drive it home!

Either way couple of snaps from on track, Will make a thread with more pics and videos soon. Nurburgring FTW

And a quick snap from a nice hairpin in adenau!

And a Lap video
