Styling My seicento Project

[gazzaman2k]

well neither do i, but the car is quite nippy, and its fun to use it sometimes - try and tell me youve never done it

so i would be better with 14s then to keep the acceleration then??

yeah 14's would make it pull off better but im not rolling on 14's so i wouldnt really know

 

[AppleSei]

the acceleration is better on 14'' compared to 15'' the handling is also improved on 14'' compared to standard wheels

Always good to state the obvious!!!

Thats pasteit looks like, you should be using matting or you'll end up cracking the filler you put on the top, it wont be as tight and will flutter. Looking awesome apart from that. Any further forward with teh engine? when do you hope to have it finsihed by and what colour are you having it? Black would look uber cool

i think youll find its matting with black fabric underneath, soaked in RESIN

its getting smoothed off tomorrow hopefully, and then will be covered in black felt fabric

cant be assed with all the mega sanding to get uber smooth and paint ulthough it would look good

 

[T.E.D. Jordan]

My bad, just doesnt look like it never zoomed on picture. You'll need it at least half an inch thick otherise it will flutter. You're savign yourself alot of wok and money by just covering it. Good plan

half inch thick woah! its like 10mm thick at the mo and i can stand on it i even hit it with a hammer and it didnt do much, its had about £150 worth of fibre on it (mostly because 7.5litres of resin costs like £90 lol) hmmm might have to use every bit of fibre i have left then, i brought 20 packs of the stuff each covers 0.55sq/m shall have to see, i aint running comp subs here just normal ones for good quality sound, although i do like my moddified 15" smiley subs which used to look like this:

sideskirts i got are:

OMG the car when i 1st had it, not bad nick lol

 

[T.E.D. Jordan]

well 10mm think isnt too far off half an inch another layer and a good layer of resin ontop will be perfect if they arent competition subs. ive seen inch thick fibreglass moulds, and they've cracked the filler coz they've been silly and not used matting, glad you have btw, less resin = stronger fibreglass. Soak the matting and its weak stuff then. I shouldnt give away these tips lol! You stil didnt answer my question whens the 1300 engine going in?

dunno how anyone can use an inch thick of fibreglass paste that stuff weighs a ton compared to matting lol, bet it dropped their car about a inch or 2 lol, will give the install a quick going over with sander then will give it a few more layres of fibreglass just hope the weathers fine tomorrow.

1.3 will be going in once the install has been done and the cars breaking system sorted (one more pipe to replace to goodridge then all done) + when my fecking g-max 40mm kit gets its ass here been over a month waiting for the ****

 

[T.E.D. Jordan]

Kool You'll be making a trip to swansea too then after its done, trailer time!
You're lucky you found some gmax, they stopped making stuff a few months back, suppose theres alot of them in stock stil Anyway, looking forward to seeing this done. Pm me if you need help with any of the technical side of things on teh engine mountings etc, but you'll prob be sorted

I like the wheels (although the rear track looks wider than the front which is a Big Bad) and the mirrors (although they need a bit of work to make em fit right). Don't like the bumpers at all. The rest looks interesting, if a bit fussy.

 

[gazzaman2k]

hmmmm...... time for a lil update.....

now have nightvision rearview camera with 7" rear view mirror screen, also have now nearly completed boot install..... running 150Amp ANL fuse on 0guage wire with a optima yellowtop in boot using 3farad powercap running 2 amps one 4 channel comp amp and a monoblock.

boot consists of 4 x 8" subs (400watt max each), 2 x 15" (500rms each)

very very loud and sounds crisp, full 5.1 surround sound in my car for when playing DVD's

6x9 and 5" compondents + 4" and tweeters act as high freq, 8" as mid range and 15's as low level bass

because the car is so sound proofed the roof and sunroof flexes and boot lid bounces up and down.

pics:

i also have a 15" flip down screen and blue neons in the rear head handles looks the dogs ******** at night with all the crome and blue lightage.

prob is i got a leak on my rear boot seal now the bass has damaged it

 

[OwenS]

2 words come to mind...

"ZZZZZZOOOMGGGGGG"

wait thats one word...

i guess i'll just have to say it twice for more impact.

 

[99sei]

WOW that is a monster install

any update on the rest of the car?

 

[seicentojay]

the install looks good now its finished bet it shakes the car a bit as mine does and ive only got 2 12" vibe blackairs in mine anyway heres a pic of mine now its all sprayed.

 

[gazzaman2k]
