MOT passed, just needed a brake pipe!

so i went to the scrappy today and picked up a few things

new passenger window and outer seal for the door (old window was badly scratched)


blue trim for rear bumper


new blue trim for front, new style badge and some bits from an SX for under the headlights!

oh i also got a k+n for free for a 1.1 punto, made it fit my car, i know its not a great setup but im working on a GSR style intake just now

Nice and liking the attention to detail

woo on the road tomorrow

does anyone have a couple of calipers going spare? i think i really need to sort the brakes out, they are terrible! haha

so im looking for a pair of calipers with free, unseized bleed nipples

heres the DIY intake i just done

was at the scrappy looking for a new downpipe, which i got. also came across a few things by chance so i decided to make up some sort of intake...

what i got -

clio 1.2 centre section
205 GTI K+N filter
sei 900cc 'bob'
sei 900cc intake piping
clio 1.2 cold air feed

pics (bob not shown)


i used the centre pipe to decat and de-centre box my exhaust

the rest went here (i will clean the filter, its just mocked up to check fitment)


cold air feed routing


held by 2 cable ties to the grill


what do you think?
what do i think? mad no difference to anything lol but for less than a tenner im happy i tried it!

how it looks now, bit lower

Can't complain for what you paid for it. Nice side profile pic too...some engine swapping going on in the background with the mk3?

Love the pic with The S14 in

i got everything we needed to swap the engine/gearbox (bar the engine crane) in my boot! could never have managed in my other car haha

300ZX fits more into the "dream" category really. Trying to find a clean, manual TT for the money I'm thinking wouldn't be the easiest task in the world

Have to say, the gold and red does kind of work I reckon. Seen that combo on Classic Impreza's and thought it worked well, though I've got mates who'll disagree with me :laugh:

Out of black or grey, I'd go for the latter - a nice anthracite even though it's maybe been done to death
