Introduction

Now then everyone :)



Been on the forum a while now and apart from asking a few standard questions ive not really contributed much so i guess ill start my own build thread :)

The car is a 2006 Carribbean Orange 1.4 16v Sporting

- EBC Greenstuff pads all round
- HEKO Wind Deflectors
- Xenonmax Headlight bulbs
- MTEC Sidelight bulbs
- Xenon Fog Light bulbs
- Red Fiat Badges Front & Rear
- 12" Boston Sub w/ Alpine Amp
- Eibach Sportlines
- Beesting Aerial
- Forge Underbody Braces
- Vinyl'd Front Grill
- 3rd Brake Light 'Punto' Cover
- GSR Induction Kit
- Orange Leather Gear Gaiter

So here's how i bought the car on the day i got her (Old owners plates)

Then i bought another set of alloys for the car after skidding on black ice and buckling one alloy on the kerb :(
They are the Evo Sporting alloys.

Next thing i did was get rid of the horrible yellow tint from the lights-

Team HEKO Wind Deflectors-

Then when i needed my brake pads changing i opted for the upgraded Greenstuff pads with the EBC front grooved discs-

I ran the car like this for a few months then i had a fantastic oppurtunity to buy these lovely RAYS alloys replicas and considering i was going to get the Evo alloys sprayed black, i spent the money on buying some already black alloys instead! :)

Then i ordered some orange rim tape along with my spigot rings, gave them a bit of a clean up and this is how they are right now-

These are going to go on when i finally pull my finger out and fit my Eibach Sportline springs-

Oh and also these came in the post today :devil:

Im sure most people know but they're Forge underbody braces.


So yeah, thats how the car stands atm- should be fitting my springs and the new alloys within the next week or 2 then ill have the car looking almost exactly how i want minus a Cupra Splitter & Black front headlights and also need to get round and vinyl my front bumper at some point!

All comments welcome,

- Enos :)

I'd be interested in the wheels if i could afford too :( unless you want standard wheels and we can sort a deal ?
Hmm.. I have to wait until July/August time before i start getting rid and maybe returning her back to standard as my birthday is in October and i need to save too.

EDIT- Post above fixed so you can see the picture now :)
 
Yeah got it fixed a while ago mate! ahah.

It did sound like it was running like 12psi through the gears! Shame it didnt move like that. :eek:

how come?

what you getting next?

Im off to university in September mate so i need the money to sort things out before i go there and i wont be needing it atall when i go there so as much as i dont want to let it go i cant justify paying for tax & insurance on a car ill barely be driving (n)

But after university ive already decided im getting a Civic Type-R EP3 in Milano Red as soon as i can afford it. I've wanted one for as long as theyve been out and when ive finsihed uni ill have 6 years NCB and ill be 23 so insurance wont bend me over and give me a hiding either!

Been a good 3 years with her and ive just given her a good clean today (Polish, Wax, Wheels off, calipers painted, seats out etc) and i looked at it in the sun after i finished and it just looked amazing and it made me kind of sad tbh!

you selling bits or all together?

Errm i think i'll try sell it all together minus the GSR and the Alfa seats as ive got the airbag light on the dashboard because they're different connectors so ill put the standard seats back in and i'll sell the GSR seperately because it doesnt necessarily add value to the car and ive still got the standard airbox so might aswell flog that on the side for an extra bob or two.

Apart from that i got a set of 18" OZ Chrono alloys sat in my garage that i need to get rid of and also 2 standard 17" Sporting alloys from when i first got the car and various other things ive collected but never got round to fitting like Abarth Pedals etcc.
