Hello people, I thought I would start a progress thread on my
new car !

My first modification was bi-xexon hid's 6000k which done after a week of have the car...




and over this past week end I have been very busy, I paint my calipers, fitted coilovers and finally sprayed my wing mirrors covers and the colour according to halfords is fiat racing red lol, but I'm very happy with the finish , I will get some pictures of mirror caps abit later, I hope you like it!






after I had finish the calipers and coilovers....

awesome!

Thanks mate!! Took some photos with my mate in his t-jet and one of my other mates in his abarth so I'll put them on here soon !

what an awesome car mate!!!!! enjoyin' it

Really like it. Coilovers

Makes me want a GP

Yehhhhhhh I love it and on coilovers it is amazing, just need to get some good tyres now and let the coilovers settle for a while and set it up just how i want it

Are they FK's?

Nice to see another black t-jet, ive just done my calipers this weekend aswell. I do sometimes think i should of opted for the alloys you have. Nice looking car

Nahhhhh they are jom coilovers mate, very good for the price! Yehhhhhhh I made sure I got a t-jet with those alloys, there the best ones I think but that's my opinion ! Thanks, I'm glad people like it!

Whats next on the list for the car then ?

The next thing I'm going to do is spray my top grill and then I will decide on the engine mods from there mate , but the person who had the car before me had it rolling roaded at 146 bhp standard lol, I don't know whether you know James1989 I raced him in his 180 bhp tjet and I stayed with him, very strange lol!

New pictures with the red mirror covers .......

very smart mate

Looks good you need a black grille and tinted rear lights

Cheers lads, yehhhhhhhh im going to spray my front grill but I'm keeping the rear lights standard and getting the rear windows tinted , If I was to do the rear lights I would get abarth rear lights !

the pictures dont do the mirror caps justice, a real nice finish

You not gutted that a standard Tjet kept with you?

Define kept with him, I beat him in my Abarth yet the above T-Jet can keep within a reasonable distance to me on a rolling start.

As I said to these guys the other day, a human reaction time average is about 0.4 seconds as the T-Jet is supposidly 8.9 sec 0-62 and Abarth 7.8-7.9 (Sports) 0-62 if the T-Jet goes and the Abarth follows your looking at like what 0.6-0.7 seconds difference in the 0-62 range.

The only difference you would really see between the above 3 cars and a multi jet is the time around a track when handling and acceleration through gears matter

I am pretty sure that it would keep up with your "Super" car as well matt

P.S used to own this S2 before purchasing my Abarth

not really i think if anything it affects those whove big plans on theyre tjet, i spent what 750 strictly on performance the turbo the remap the intercooler and being that a series 2 always performs better and an abarth has different differential and gearbox if i hadnt i wouldve been alot slower,

what amazes me is that a day before hand i had a race with a type r with decent induction and custom exhaust, on paper i shouldve died but from 30fruits to 110fruits it could not shake me and similar to our 3way race the on paper figures meant nothing

because as said the difference between the s2 tjet, my modified s1 tjet and the abarth was so unimpressive it just made you realise if you only keep your car for its speed rather than what makes you happy then its pointless my rx8 isnt the quickest thing ever but its such a nice car to drive, that abarth was a few thousand more than my tjet but its the feel of the thing that makes it worth it

It's was very interesting, but much funnnn init !
