Advice- what to do next?

[lanky]

first things first, sorry about pic quality only good camera i have is my phone.

what would people recomend i do to my car next? I havn't got a huge budget so b realistic.
Ignore the huge dent in the wing, it came like that and he supplied a pre painted renault wing, i will fit it once ive passed my test.
And the starter button(small green one) is just a random button with random plastic. i'm gettin a new button, but don't know what to do about the plastic, any advice would be appreciated.

Very nice

Lower it, with new wheels.

Slammed on a set of nice 15's that'll look good fella.

Turbines/ Anthracite willy wheels i reckon.

 

[Timmay]

perhaps the next thing to do would be fix that massive dent - other than that looking sweet

 

[Ali]

wow, that zorst looks sizable...

 

[172 Dave]

whose is that thing parked next to it.....

Lower it

 

[Ross M]

yeah sort the dent, lower it then change the rims. sorted.

n by god that car next door is slammed.

Neighbours car is extremely low, and the speed bumps are high around my way, and the bar thing at the back is welded on so it will cost a lot. Lot of problems up close.

I would like some new rims, but i'm a full time a-level student, and my only money is from a part time job at little chef.

that mk1 106 looks fucked!!

the camber on them wheels is made.. theyre a solid rear axle so they dont camber in when lowering them either

 

[lanky]

How much would it cost to lower a mk1? i wouldn't be albe to lower it much because of speed bumps around my way.

Personally i'd get rid of the green button (the clock is meant to be where the button is) If the button is functional i'd get a richbrook one or one from an s2000.

I'd go for a set of phase 2 valver (1.8 16v) alloys then drop it a bit on them, or a set of oz multi spokes (suepr t's) or something like that.

the little money holder goes where the button is cat.

lower it, 40mm on some apex if you cant go that low... lower the torsion bar yourself.

some new rims, as said 15's in anthracite, 16v spoiler...

 

[lanky]

so i put the clock where the button is?
i want to build a button in to the dash somewhere, but what do i put in the space where the clock was?

 

[unofficialPete]

shrink the images first :S

look for pics of final_maxims car or whatever his user is now?!

Had a black phase 3 lowered on phase 1 valver turbines, very nice...

money holder ?? I had a clock next to my dials (that was on a valver though) I thought they all had the clock there.:S

lanky - personally i'd get a clock & put that where the button is, then if you want push button start put the new button near the steering wheel.

 

[lanky]

thats what i plan on doing, then its just the trouble with the hole where the clock is at the moment

 

[cat171]

Oops - sorry i didn't realise that your clock was up there
Is your stereo next to it ??

I don't know whats meant to go in place of the clock (on a valver its got three dials in that bit) and the stereo was under the grey flap where the gear stick is.

 

[Conor88]

Haha sweet! I have a dent on mines in the exact same place I think yours is just a touch bigger but :/

 

[lanky]

stereo is near the gearstick, what ever i do i just need something to fill the gap

 

[cat171]

Get a set of dials from a valver (three dials) oil temp, oil pressure & one which tells you the amount of oil in the car (not to be relied upon)
They'll need wiring up to work, but I think there is a guide on here.

If you ask me friend, I wouldn't do anything else to it. Just save your money for a better car. I don't know how old you are or if this is your first car etc. But we've all been there, first car gets modded - new wheels, lowered etc. then you sell it and realise what a waste of money it was.

Save your money and buy a car that's quick enough and looks good enough as standard. That's what I'd do/did.

If your talking about the starter button where the clock used to be, why not get shot of it and rip a clock out from an old Mk1 in a scrappy? Just to make it look better

 

[cat171]

he's already got a clock, its up the top.

 

[Conor88]

Ohh, my bad haha

 

[lanky]

I could move the clock and get some valver oil gauges, but then i would have to get a new dash top aswell. Or just find something to fill the hole where the button is at the moment
