Trust me you wouldnt want it. Every time you paint it it picks up stone chips before it dries properly. I spose its the nose down stance that it used to have and red paint takes ages to dry.

Wind deflectors ordered.

I really need to carry on working on the Install. I keep geting waylaid.

Just having a look at spacers now. I havnt a clue which ones to buy. I presume we want ones that are anodised (is that correct, the gold tint sort of colour). Im not sure though because i would have mine powder coated so rust isnt a problem. You reckon the material matters from a strength or performance point of view?

 

[mzhussein]

id paint it and leave it in the shed, after 10 coats of lacquer and 2 months, itd be ready and stone chip proof

ace, theyll look good

im trying to sort out a DAB module for my car PC, delivery is taking ages....then the diagnostics are being hooked up....realtime car info beign displayed on an 8" touchscreen ...also messing with doing this on a ODBII converted integra type R, the same one i recently did a gold engine bay for



.....should be fun lol

 

[Mr Cousins]

Only buy H&R spacers, the best. get them from www.europerformance.co.uk.

 

[volxstu]

Thats £180 im sure i can get rustproof Hubcentic for less than that.

 

[mzhussein]

snap....thats way over the odds.....im sure my mate got a 40mm set for £50 ish off the bay.....they were hubcentric and aluminium...

 

[volxstu]

Having a look on the bay they seem to be going for £60 posted 20mm rears and £50 15mm fronts.

Ill ask automotives.biz and see what they say.

Although i just spanked an large amount of money on some earphones so ill have to see how much i got left.

 

[mzhussein]

well, when you do decide on them if it makes sense to combine postage, let me know, ive got cash for it when ever...but yeh was thinking more like £50-£60 rather than £100 :O

Hi there... Nice car! I'm still missing mine!

Found out the other day that it is most likely a write off after an accident in Brighton..

If you need any info or parts etc feel free to contact me as I owned mine for 2 1/2 years and did plenty to mine.. As for powder coating the wheels.. Go for it! :yum:

Mine was running around 205-210 Bhp at one point and was a lot of fun... :devil:

Soooo jealous of you!

what did you do to get 205-210bhp out of yours i pick mine up on tues(only 3 days) and i'm looking to get 200bhp out of mine which i thinks not too much as it is a 2.4l

 

[volxstu]

A remap and induction kit, would have seen those figures.

 

[bruders 338]

Did you ever get that K+N indution filter?
if you did any difference?

 

[volxstu]

Nope i woosed out lol. I havnt touched the engine yet. I want a concerted plan before i do. I feel that the engine has a lot more potential if tuned properly, which needs a lot more thought than what people have done so far.

 

[jackson74]

Just thought I'd mention that I took the plunge and fitted a K&N Typhoon to my Abarth today (cos I'm not a wuss ), the good news it doesn't seem to have upset the MAF as I'm not getting any engine management warnings that I was worried about.

Its quite subtle, not as loud as other induction kits I've had on other motors, although you do get some slight 'breathing and popping'.
Not really noticed much difference in throttle response but I've not took it for a proper run yet... that'll have to wait till 7 oclock Sunday mornin!

 

[ithunk]

nice i have the exact same car

 

[volxstu]

That certainly is a nice car you have there

I will have some updated pic of the boot after Sunday

 

[afiLi]

colour is the best

 

[volxstu]

Just a little abstract teaser :devil:

It finishes off the look of the seats nicely.

 

[mzhussein]

*sigh* say goodbye to a quick in and out

they do look quite good, this might be a silly question, but where does the back of the harness attach to, the ones that i've seen tend to attach to a bolt where the rear seat bench is....but i gather you still have your seats...

 

[volxstu]

Its easy to get in and out TBH. The rear part of the harness does go onto the seat bench bolts. But the lower ones that are closest to the door so people can still get in/ out fairly easily and sit quite comfortably in the rear without having to stradle the belt.

 

[gadge]

looking good mate!! this car must be costing you a fortune!! lol i was thinking of some new seats for mine but the cheapest quality ones i like start around 300 quid?

 

[volxstu]

Well at a rough guess I've spent about £9k ish not including routine maintenance. That's probably about the same a similar milage and age poverty spec Golf would have cost.
