DanEdser's Grande Progress Thread

[DanEdser]

That's not right.
If your paying over £3000 for a 1.2 8v it's NEVER going to be £2400 for a 182, maybe you could insure yourself on a 182 shell, but if it has the engine no way lol!

Also, a lot of insurance company's will give you a quote, but if you ring them to actually insure the car they most of the time say no we cant insure this. Stupid I know

no i mean next year

idk what it will be for my 1.2 next year

 

[DanEdser]

with the mods i want to do - it would be £2300 next year.. with no named drivers...

standard its £1000

omg £1300 for mods D:

 

[DanEdser]

ok so its payday and idk wether to get coilovers or not?!

 

[McGherkin]

Eeny meenie miney mo, buy some coilies with your dough.

Or save it as an emergency fund.

 

[DanEdser]

OK right! new plans!

im on a budget of about £400 a month at the moment and need your help with what i should do first and order it haha!

so I'm wanting these:

Cades Eros with yoko s drive tyres
VMaxx Coilovers 52mm (havent checked my hub spacing)
cup spoiler
172 ph2 rear bumper
Carbon Fibre insert for bumper
colour code front bumper
get front fogs (I have some LaminX for them but atm my fogs are disgusting on the inside and the bolts/screws are corroded so cant the fog out of the surround)

what order should i get them in with my budget?

I'm thinking I get the alloys first because I'm pretty sure my tyres need doing.

 

[Rob]

Get them in 15, in silver and black (or gold if you must). Much nicer, cheaper, and cheaper replacement rubber. They'll even tighten up the handling and allow you to go lower.

 

[DanEdser]

so these with yoko parada's would be good?

tbh for the sake of £90 when spending about £450.. id rather get the 16s aha

 

[Matt@codered]

I think I have some fog lamps and surrounds somewhere dan, would you be interested in a 172 full interior too?
matt.

Don't worry, it will be!

 

[DanEdser]

[DanEdser]

also my insurance only let me go to 50mm lower...

would they find out if i went lower anyway?

 

[Matt@codered]

Phase 1 172 so blue leather bits, found a pair of phase 1 fog lamp surrounds if you needed some.

 

[DanEdser]

would rather ph2 seats tbh go with the black

 

[Matt@codered]

Ok, no worries.

 

[DanEdser]

Ok, no worries.

although... how much for the full interior? including door cards?

 

[Matt@codered]

I'll pm you later on mate, Matt.

Could get coilovers fitted much cheaper by doing a 1.2 16v hub conversion!

If you read further on, he mentions he realised its not necessary to change the brake discs and calipers! My bro is getting the same conversion done this week

 

[DanEdser]

So my silvervisions decided to die and got fed up with the fried eggy-ness of amber bulbs and decided to opt for some Osram diadems! looks nice with the blue CREE reverse light

Before:

After:

 

[McGherkin]
