So plans are forever changing with this little cup, took it for a long drive last night accross to Tan Hill and back to richmond, which highlighted a few problems.

First of all was a headache, not something I was fussed about before but as it looks like the car is probably going to be a daily for the next year I'm going to put the interior back in it.

The plans are for the interior:

Trophy Recaro's
172 Half leather & Suede Rear Seat
Suede doorcards front and rear
Retrimmed headliner in black cloth
Various trims painted to match the dash

Highten the coilovers up by 30mm on the front, custom 60mm springs for the rear based on an eibach sportline.

Cup Spoiler on its way.


Just purchased a 182 exhaust surround from Wests Renault for my exhaust getting fitted on thursday, so will update the thread with pics of that when I get it fitted

Wheels - Anthracite 2118's

Yeah shell that will be spot on, pm me your address and I'll pop through tonight if thats ok?

 

[BIGASH]

Plans sounds good mate, didn't I read somewhere yesterday that you are going to turbo it? Look forward to seeing progress

 

[Chris205]

Yeah mate that was the plan, having doubts whether I want to blow £5000 on a turbo build that could go bang, I like to use the car properly and have a fear the reliability will go right down the pan.

Still contemplating Fred's cams he's selling as the dephaser needs doing and want to remove the air-con

I like the creation part of the project, once I've made the plan in my head work I come up with something totally different to keep me entertained. Its starting to get a bit boring now though I think I've done everything I ever wanted to lol

[Chris205]

If it's at Rs Tuning I'll have a ride down but havent changed anything since so no point running it

also not as crazy as a person that buys two steering wheels and keeps one for 'best' haha ya nutter

 

[Jimbo_M]

Haha mate i love my sabelt one too much!

 

[Chris205]

Exhaust now fitted from AAS with a 3" straight cut tailpipe, really loving the noise, sounds great when giving it some but nice and subtle cruising around town and motorway.

Big shout to AAS they've done their magic again
