Re: T5MY G's saxo vtr - Recaro pole positions/b8's/carbon/saxsport/stripped!

UPDATEEE!
Ive started spraying my steelies. I've sanded them down with 1200 wet & dry and wiped them over with the prep wipes..
DSC00803.jpg

I then applied 4 coats of white primer..
DSC00804.jpg

Just waiting for the primer to harden and set before i 1200 wet and dry them. Hopefully if it stops raining ill be able to get the glacier white on today :).
I also went to halfords to get a mini paint pot mixed in piaggio ponk green (same as the mirrors) for the centre caps. Whilst i was there i got some rain-x anti mist for the windscreen as with having no heater it steams up alot so hopefully this might prevent it :)..
DSC00796.jpg

I went to my mates unit yesterday with the intention of having the cage fully welded but he didnt have alot of time so i got him to tack weld it (temp) so it stop rattiling. I also got him to weld my harness plate for the passenger side..
DSC00797.jpg

I will update later if i get round to adding the glacier white and laquer.

Re: T5MY G's saxo vtr - Recaro pole positions/b8's/carbon/saxsport/stripped!

UPDATEEE!!
The weather finally managed to blow over so i got cracking spraying the glacier white. I did 3 coats and it looked spot on and covered very well. I then laquered them with 2 generous coats and they were finished. Very happy with them with no reactions, runs or imperfections in the paint..
DSC00807.jpg

I'll get cracking with the fronts tomorow! :)
I got the missus to do the centre caps and im very happy with how they've turned out.

Are you flipping the steelies then? is there enough clearance for the brakes or is that just a picture of the inside sprayed?

Whilst it was draining the spark plugs were changed.

After (Bosch super 4's)..

Once they were changed we took the rocker cover off and replaced the rocker gasket..
DSC00824.jpg

We then took the old oil filter off and replaced it with a new shiny one..
DSC00829.jpg

The sump plug was refitted with a new dowty washer..
DSC00821.jpg

The mobil super s 10w/40 was then added 3.5ltr's..

We then changed the breather filter as the old one had split with a new shiny k&n one..

Re: T5MY G's saxo vtr - Recaro pole positions/b8's/carbon/saxsport/stripped!

why did you use engine flush?? its the most pointless waste of time and all it does is thin down your new oil as there is no way you got it all out the engine...

UPDATEE!
I got cracking stripping and tidying the wiring. I had temp cable tied the wiring up but hadnt stripped any of the unused wiring. This pics with fuse/relay box unbolted and a few cable ties snipped..
DSC00845.jpg

I did the back of the car first and snipped the rear interior lamp wires and insulation taped the wiring..
DSC00846.jpg

DSC00847.jpg

I then removed more wiring/plugs from the rear quarters but have still got to insulate tape the wiring..
DSC00848.jpg

DSC00849.jpg

DSC00850.jpg

DSC00851.jpg

I then removed some of the wiring/plugs from the dash area and insualte taped so of the wiring (still not cable tied or insulation taped as im working on it tommorow)...
DSC00853.jpg

DSC00852.jpg

DSC00854.jpg

Im going to be cracking on tomorow with it to get the centre/rear of the car finished. I carnt fully finish the dash area until i take the heater matrix out but ill have to get some piping to join the 2 coolant hoses together. My car is also crying out for an inner respray :(!

Re: T5MY G's saxo vtr - Recaro pole positions/b8's/carbon/saxsport/stripped!

dont use insulating tape around the loom... buy dedicated loom tape... its not sticky but sticks to it self.

Re: T5MY G's saxo vtr - Recaro pole positions/b8's/carbon/saxsport/stripped!

The tape ive got costs next to nothing and it makes it look neater. Plus ive already done half of it in the tape now. The only reason why im using it is so there isnt any wires showing :)

Steelies are v. light & look nice, but for track work they dont let the heat out very well ... hence why i didnt use them :) Just in case you werent aware ...

Woah, you have been driving around with chopped springs. Jee'z.

Progress has come on very very well indeed.

Tip for the torsion bar, use some coke on it, cause it's bound to be seized ter'fcuk.

I can imagine there abit poo for letting heat out but there lightness makes up for it ;)
Im going down to maplins to get 2 speaker ports and im going to mount the in the arch liner so the cold air from the fog light holes goes straight threw to the brakes.

Re: T5MY G's saxo vtr - Recaro pole positions/b8's/carbon/saxsport/stripped!

UPDATEE!
Got cracking again stripping the wiring but made abit of a boo boo yesterday.:oops: I had to get up early this morning as im on shift (4.45am) started the car up and flicked the headlights on and noticed the speedo light didnt come on. I looked closer and the mph gauge and the rev counter aswell as the coolant level and fuel gauge wernt working. With it being that early in the morning i had no time to sort it out so i had a fun drive to and from work. The fault was i didnt re connect the 3 thin wired earths :wall:.
Sooooo when i got back from work i got rid of some more wires :)
DSC00855.jpg

DSC00856.jpg

Just got to finish off taping the wires but i got some p-clips from work to make the wiring nice and tidy :) Hopefully if i get round to taking the heater matrix out i can get the wiring finished and looking smart.
DSC00857.jpg

I got a guy at work to make me a 8mm bit for the slide hammer using an 8mm bolt and a welded on washer. The slide hammer at work is suppost to be a beast so hopefully will make mince meat out of the torsion bars.
