good purchase mate. you getting an n1 to go with it or just keeping with the stock axel back?

Yeh can probably get an eg rolling shell for about £200 or even less. only problem is they tend to be infested with rust but i have access to a welder, compressor and spray booth so could get it all welded up, caged and sprayed for cheap providing i do the work myself ofcourse. a h22 would be...

Take it off and paint it in high temp paint?

wow thats stunning mate. looks awesome and bet it sounds insane on full throttle.

Thats an option aswell but im not the biggest fan of throttle bodies tbh mate. A guy up the road from me just got his ek9 itb'd , costing him over £6k and in the end he still couldn't get it running right so sold the whole set up on. Im still gathering info at the moment but a k20'd track car...

haha yeh think a kswap is the way forward. should get decent money for the b16b and supercharger so that should help fund the swap. Will be doing all the work myself so that should help reduce the cost but its still gonna be expensive no doubt. I dont like to cut corners but at the same time...

Wont be back this weekend richy mate as im snowed in but will be back for next friday hopefully. will give you a shout when i get back mate as iv no saw you in a while and want to see your new ride ;) Right well after thinking about it i think im going to go in a different direction. Just...

Its snowing and car has no steering wheel, front seats or tax and is locked up about 80 miles away lol so no vids for the now unfortunately mate.

Thanks mace. Still got along way to go yet but hopefully have it ready for the track next year if all goes well. haha you know me ben mate, i never hold back on anything i get attached to;) cheers, yeh the brakes do look nice but hope they perform well so looking forward to fitting them when...

no mate, i have a b16b but the going rate of the dc2 b18's seems to be around that mark

He could break this car and make over £10k easily and most parts would be sold within hours, due to the big demand on them. Just to give people an idea of second hand prices of some of the parts... spoon calipers-700-900 depending on condition desmond regamasters-£600-850 depending on condition...

lol

^^ lol

looks pretty cool and not a bad price imo http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/New-Renault-Sport-bucket-seat-FIA-2015-/200548313275?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2eb19c68bb#ht_744wt_1139

lol malice sounds like an interesting combination, should have grabbed a pic. wasnt a dx rather than an ek was it?

Get it done man ;) haha trust me you will be hit with the modding bug pretty quick and one thing follows another and before you know it, your into double figures lol.

Thanks mate im glad you enjoyed the read :) Cheers man and im glad your getting a 9. They are epic cars with loads of tuning potential and im sure you will love every bit of it. Thanks mate. Much appreciated :)

They look pretty similar to the ek9 recaros shape wise but abit more modern. Biggest problem i had with the ek9 recaros was the fact that they were heavy. cant imaine the sr-7 recaros being much lighter tbh. Although not ideal i think im going to have to stick with a recliner for the passenger...

this is a good project you have foxy. Always love reading your project threads threads man and i love your dedication.

Originally chris i wanted to keep the passenger ek9 recaro as it is but decided that it would be best to change that too (easier to sell ek9 recaros as a pair) so it will be getting replaced by a reclining recaro seat of somesort preferably a jdm ep3 one just because it looks less dated than the...

cheers mikey ;). loved the 197 aswell the other night. A set of 197 recaros would defo finish it off nicely. get it done man! cheers man. much appreciated :). Price varies on the Rays wheel nuts but generally will cost from £95-140 for a set depending on the model of car. Thanks ian :)

Sound good richy mate. will give you a text when im back in dundee mate and we will defo have to meet up :)

update: Got the subframes through the door today. They are the aluminium Recaro subframes, which will bolt onto my old ek9 recaro runners. Pretty surprised at how light they are compared to subframes i have had in the past. Old ek9 recaro runners. will split them during...

Thanks again mate. fingers crossed it works. cheers ali. yeh sure mate, give me a shout next time your through here. should leave it as it is richy imo. Not an awful lot you could do to them i dont think and a saxo or an eg civic would be a better base for a project imo. Keith just bought a...

Thats a cool video. Some serious cars in monster unit and they all seem to have an infinite supply of money aswell. Met up with one of the guys in monster unit a couple of months ago and he told me the white evo 6 (you see in the vid being pushed at 6.29) blew its forged engine as they were...

aye to be fair i much prefer the yellow look of jdm headlights but its just the lack of visibility that was getting annoying so hopefully by rewiring the headlights directly to the battery should solve this problem meaning i could just sell the hid's on. yeh mate i heard about the new...

haha i know they were not my choice mate, they came with the car and would be ashame to just chuck them in the bin. for the nurburgring trip i will be getting some Carbone Lorraine's or project mu pads. only heard good things about them but only problem being is that they are not too good when...

haha aw nice one mate. see you got a zetec s in the end. Will give you a txt when im back in a few weeks richy mate and you will need to take me out for a spin in it ;)

loved this project. shame its been striped for parts and scrapped :(

Thanks for the comments folk cheers chris :) haha knew there was gonna be some controversy about the hid's but if it wasnt for the poor ek9 headlights i wouldnt have bought them. Its not so bad in areas with street lights but as soon as you get to unlit areas its almost as bad as driving in...
