Some spots while working today.
TVR Cerbera and Corrado VR6 at one house:
Giulia Quadrifolio and Aston DBS at another:
Their neighbour had one of those wide-arch Abarths with the adjustable rear spoiler too:
Not seen this before, so just had a read through from the start. I'm not really much on the whole camper thing, but it does look quite fun converting a van like that. Colour/wheel combo looks great. Got to bang that vRS engine in it though for sure.
People always slated these but I knew a couple of people that had GSIs and they were pretty good at the time. Looked decent, went pretty well, and the V6 sounded lovely.
Saw this while working the other day. Was looking a bit sorry - damage to the rear bumper, rust on the rear arch and a lot of sun damage to the carbon bits.
Decent paint places seem in pretty short supply round here. I'm a bit out of touch but a couple of the RSOC guys used to swear by APVM in Rackheath so they might be worth an ask.
Just got round to watching these. He came across pretty well. Much better than his usual stuff, though that wouldn't be difficult.
Would be interesting to hear more about all the algorithm business.
Fitted an induction kit following the same pattern as @Adeyspec used on his old engine. Also blocked off the recirc. valve so it chatters away now.
Need a smaller air filter really, and to do a tidier job of the recirc. blank but whatevs
Got given the rear seats, so fitted them this afternoon:
Weirdly, since cleaning the front seats, the inside of the car smells quite bad. I don't know if disturbing the dirt in them has caused it or something, but it's pretty unpleasant. Not really sure what to do about it at the moment.
Not sure I can justify a 500+ mile round trip to map a £300 car unfortunately 😂
In brighter news, I sorted the exhaust today. No pictures as I was a bit pressed for time, but I took the two repair pieces out and welded them together on the bench, then put it back in place and welded it to the...
Weird they never did a convertible version of that gen Celica really, as they did with the others. Fair play for making it himself, though I think I would have gone for different body work personally, just so it was more unique.
First commute completed this morning. It drives ok. The oil smell is a bit unpleasant so might have to try and deal with that.
The NS2-Rs can get in the sea as well. I'm sure they're great, but the noise is beyond irritating.
Do you need an intercooler/exhaust? That being said, I don't know...
On the subject of the exhaust, it was blowing a bit. My mate said the centre section had snapped the other day, so he had bodged it. He wasn't lying 😂
It was all a bit loose and he hadn't used any exhaust paste, so I took it apart and tried to seal it as best I could, but it's still blowing a...
