Im glad the price is going up pops haha from the 800 you started with

 

[Kyle 86]

I hear you want an rs2

Its very tempting paris but its a lot of wedge but it will get me up to 200 hp

 

[Mr R.]

And a flat torque curve.

Not for me.

 

[Cub.]

Looking good Kyle, a lovely Cup

Ive driven one and was very disappointed. Very induction noisy inside the cabin, but not in a good way. Pretty, but expensive. You'd be better off putting the money elsewhere.

 

[Jekyll]

Im so pleased how the cup is looking now. Ive spent hell of a lot of time & money on it now (Around 6k) and couldn't be happier with it. Ive finally got it looking how I want it after 2 1/2 years

Just a spoiler now and Im sure the project will be complete

But knowing me ill keep on spending

Looks great mate, inside and out You happy with the seats?

I read the 2nd from last line and thought "yeah right!" And then I read the last line and you reassured me!

Small update

Finally got a trophy/V6 spoiler on her

Tomorrow hopefully removing the middle silencer for a straight through pipe so ill be sounding like a right yob haha. If i dont like ill swap em back over

 

[Martin.]

I like that a lot.

 

[dmallett]

Legit spoiler or an ebay special?

Unsure if I prefer them to the cup spoiler or not :S

Car looks clean as ever though bud!

Cor, your pushing the boat out! You must be in a good mood!

Dont forget will need to allow for a full respray after purchase Mark :approve:

 

[Kyle 86]

Took the old girl for a drive today. Went to visit PacMan's brother for more paintless dent removal. Had 3 taken out which ive recently picked up so im now dent free again

Then i met up with this fella at his wonderful work place Dr Jekyll
Mate i adore your workplace and its always nice to see the great man himself

Then i got a few cheeky shots off the cup. Ive finally got her to how i want her to look now with the addition of the new spoiler

 

[Jekyll]

Your cars come some way in 2 1/2yrs, credit to you.

I'm literally around the corner from you judging by your pics (sure I've seen your car around the rock) I'm going to be ordering a Snappy re-trimmed wheel pretty soon and it would be nice seeing one in the flesh (well leather) before placing the order, I'm sure the work is top notch but it's still nice seeing before you buy, Any chance we could meet up so I could have a look-see?

I'd also be interested in getting some more info on the PDR guy you've used recently, I have a couple of dings I'd like removed.

Do the new seats recline? Where did you get the subframes?

 

[Kyle 86]

Nah they dont recline there out of a 4 door car. I got the subframes from capital seating £332 expensive bloody things

 

[dmallett]

Little bit clean that kyle!

 

[Jekyll]

I'm so useless at replying to texts so I thought id comment in here. Car looks great mate! Where did you get your mounts from?

I wish my coolant looked like that!

 

[rs 1an]

Amazing what you can do with fairy and a bucket these days

 

[Kyle 86]

Took her for a nice drive today. Its been a fair few months and i forgot how bloody noisy it is on the motorway. All is good though the old girl makes me smile

 

[Kyle 86]

Little bit clean that kyle!

Its getting to that stage now dan that i dont wanna take it out lol. Hows the PH1

 

[Kyle 86]

Update time. Its been a while but ive been really busy with her

So ive gave the arches a real deep clean and ive recently had the wheels re powdercoated carbon grey and have added a sabelt wheel aswell and a ED short shifter

Heres a few pictures below of what ive been up to

 

[Kyle 86]

And heres a few pictures including some snaps from FCS

 

[Kyle 86]

Im really looking forward to bringing it too CSS to show her off it really is a stunning example probably one of the cleanest ones out there the pics dont do it justice. Ive had some wonderful comments on her as of late. Im hoping to replace the OEM gearknob soon with a renaultsport aluminium one
