Hi everyone. It has been long since I last posted! :)

I have done some "things" in my Stilo and I thougth I should share them with you. Of course the "project" is not finished, but it is close to finish... :)

The target of the project:
Make a car just for the circuit and have some fun few weekends... :)

So the condition of the car is...

INSIDE
* All the seats have been removed.
* 2 Sparco seats have taken their place.
* 4-points Sparco seatbelts.
* MOMO steering wheel.
* Removed the NAV+.
* Removed the OEM instruments.
* Full custom instrument panel.
* Fire extinguisher.
* The battery moved from the engine bay to the inside of the car.
* Master power switch.

Some photos...

TECHNICAL
* If some of you remember, there is a Garrett 25 turbo.
* Removed the 5th injector.
* Removed the OEM ECU.
* Removed the parallel ECU.
* 4 larger injectors installed.
* Haltech ECU installed.
* The electrical throttle has been removed and the "old school" wire has taken its place.
* The interior of the engine has been cleaned and enlarged (now is about 1.800cc).
* Forged pistons installed.
* Enhanced piston-springs installed.
* Upgraded camshaft.
* New metallic flange.
* Brembo 4-pot brakes (they were there before).
* Gearbox from a Punto MK1 GT.
* Custom Bilstein PSS9 suspension, fully adjustable.

I have not taken any photos yet. I will add some during this week.


OUTSIDE
* The body kit is the same as before.
* Rear Lexus type tails with black interior.
* Front headlights from a Punto MK2 with angel eyes and black interior, custom-installed.
* New paint-job (half yellow-half matte black).
* Matte black painted wheel.

The painting starts from tomorrow and will be ready by Friday. So the photo with the black color that follows, is an attempt to do something like photoshop... :)

Photos...

Closing this post (it was about time!)...

The project will finish when the paint-job is going to finish by the end of this week. Then the car has to do slowly about 1.000km, for the new parts of the engine, and then programmed to operate at 1.5bar. We believe that the output will be about 300PS... :) Stay tuned!...

When I had the car for the road, I had spend around 30.000E (this extra to the price of purchase). After I got the Passat for an everyday ride, I spent another 10.000E to make it as it is going to be when this "project" will end. :)

I NEED those angel eyes on my stilo!!! They look amazing! How hard were they to fit?

This is the actual headlight...

The headlight was not customised in order to be able to change it if needed in the future. The technician used 3 points to bolt it on the car. Then he used fiber glass to fill in the gaps. Finally he used the connectors from the OEM headlights in order not to destroy the OEM connectors of the car's cable. The only thing that has to be changed, is the water tank for the windscreen washers. I put a smaller one.

Here how he masked the headlight and started building the gaps...

Here you can see the "part" that was built in order to cover the gaps. It is with matt black color.

Seems like a fair bit of work but it's definatly worth it! Ill look into this further in a few months once my bank balance is a little healthier. Thanks for the ideas mate! Cars looking sick!

Also my technician told me that if someone get the servo motors from a Punto, they can be connected in order to adjust the height of the main beam from the inside of the car (as the OEM).

Hi Stilatos! I have already invested a lot of money for the 1.6! I am not going to start over from the begining with a 2.4 engine... :)

If I am going to need more power, I will put a larger turbo! :devil:

That's a fine car you got there (y)
 
re: Ex Stilo 1.6 Turbo. Now Stilo 3.0 V6 with "some" mods.

Very nice. I was going to do the very same colour scheme that you have planned, but I ended up having to sell my Stilo before it happened!
 
re: Ex Stilo 1.6 Turbo. Now Stilo 3.0 V6 with "some" mods.

The painting has been finished! Got some pictures today. I think the look of the car is quite "mad"!!! :) Today I am going to get the wheel off and send them for painting as well. They are going to be painted mat black with a yellow stripe on the circumfierence of the wheel... :)

Enjoy the pics. I promise I will get some better ones, as soon as the wheels will get painted and the ride heigth is going to drop for another 30mm... ;)

Black side lights mate! Took me 5 minutes to fit and made hell of a difference!

I think that the black side signals are better for dark-coloured cars. Good thought though! ;)
