Hryszko's Racing Blue Project

[Joe Hryszko]

Ahh, o.k - seats threw me a bit that's all.

No worries, there is some fairly ongoing confusion about what's cup as standard, what's not, what's Cup packs etc

glad you like the car!

I love how the bonnet catches make it look so aggressive

Thanks mate!

Love a mean looking front end, I would reccomend the aero catches to anyone! Awesome bit of kit!

 

[Joe Hryszko]

So onto a couple of updates!

Sent all the documentation off on Saturday for my Private plate, so waiting on the confirmation of the swap! Soon to be 'J33 HRY' Can't wait to be able to put the new plates on!

Also spoke to G 172 earlier on and in the near future I will be ordering new Discs and Pads all round, most likely Brembo's!

Will keep you all updated!

 

[Joe Hryszko]

With a huge thanks to Kchristmas for helping me out on that one! Couple of pictures.. (I am aiming to fit this Sunday late afternoon so will update pictures when thats done)

Looks sweet, pictures never do them justice as with mine! How did you do the staples in the end, like I suggested with pliers?

So jealous of your car by the way, hopefully I'll be in possession of one come renewal time.

Thanks mate! You're right, pictures don't do it justice! Looks ace in person.. Got them out with pliers & then had a very powerful staple gun and it went through the plastic easily thanks for all the help mate!

Thanks man, I love it!

 

[dann2707]

Looking awesome mate! Didn't you fancy the smaller plate on the front?

That gearknob looks the sex too! I was around your parts 'a town yesterday was looking out for you! Saw a tasty BG182 instead if you know the guy? Had a tow strap or something on the front. We were both pressing on so didn't get chance to give him the old sexy cliosport wink and wave haha

Thanks matey! Still debating it

I would reccomend the short shifter to anyone, it's amazing! Oh nice, I have seen a BG around but again never had chance to give him the old wink and wave! Can't say I know him personally, there are 2 Arctics & myself locally I know! @Kipp being one of them matzki the other!

 

[dann2707]

We need to met up so I can play with your knob Joe Hryszko

Then after having a nightmare with O2 on the phone I decided to go for a bit of a drive, took a couple of photo's and I liked them so why not share them with you guys!

Now just waiting on my new RS Keyring & My documents back from the DVLa so I can put my private plates on, been nearly 2 weeks now... anyone else who has private number plates, how long did you wait to recieve the new documents?

[Joe Hryszko]

UPDATE!

Documents came through yesterday evening which meant I was now able to put my new plates on, have to say I am more than happy with them and if anyone is interested, J for Joe the 33 well in my eyes kinda looks like Joe & Hry being the beginning of my last name! So anyway some pictures for you... (Not the best pictures but it was raining and well being England you never know when it will stop)

Another delivery arrived today, my new RS style keyring! Which im also very pleased with, really looks the part!

Untitled by djjoehryszko, on Flickr

So, next on the list of things to do are...

-New Style RS Badge is now ordered.
-Vibe audio speakers to replace the god awful standard ones.
-Potentially a flocked dashboard... what are peoples opinions on these?
-Roof lining to be flocked, or sprayed to match the black as this really stands out for me as something I want to change.
-Carbon fibre Clock surrounds (If this is possible)
-Carbon Fibre gear knob
-Stainless Battery cover
-Potential Decat

Subscribed! Keen to see what you do next, the interior inserts look fantastic [emoji106]

 

[dml6881]

Get your clock surrounds hydro dipped. There's a guy on here doing it I thinks. His work is great. Paul Pooler I think.
Love the car too.

Thanks mate appreciate it! They really do look the part, they were racing blue before and I think they were a little bot OTT!

This is exactly what I want to do, im guessing this won't be too expensive either?

 

[Joe Hryszko]

Anyone have any other suggestions for decent, not overly expensive mods?

 

[Joe Hryszko]

So yesterday I set to tackling the inlets and the exhaust tips with some Autosol, this stuff is amazing!!

by djjoehryszko, on Flickr

[Joe Hryszko]

So the weather was beautiful today and the car hadn't been washed in nearly two weeks!

It was only fair to treat it to a Snowfoam wash, polish and wax! I took some pictures

[Joe Hryszko]

Hi guys,
Its been a very long time since I posted anything on here and there isn't an awful lot to update, however I have got the bug again and will be posting much more regular updates again!

Car is in for a big service today, and will be picking it back up at 5:30, new discs and pads, along with a general check up and some other little bits.
Ordered a new style RS badge (Finally)
Looking at getting some 2118's in Black along with some 30mm cooksport springs!

If anyone has either of the above for sale, please let me know!

 

[Chi]

White 2118 on an rb ftw

 

[Joe Hryszko]

White 2118 on an rb ftw

I had in my mind Black 2118's or anthracite... but im open to suggestions

 

[Joe Hryszko]

Finally got round to debadging the rear end today and replacing with the new style RS badge, gave the exhaust tips a quick seeing too whilst i was at it! Also removed all of the stickers and taken the yellow fog tint off... will get some more pictures tomorrow!

Also i regularly post pictures of my car on my instagram (@joehryszko) and someone commented on a couple of my pictures saying it was her boyfriends old old car and it had featured in French Car magazine, now this I already knew but had never seen the feature myself so she very kindly sent me some pictures! Obviously it doesnt look like this now, but very cool none the less...
