[MaLicE]

poppups back

had a auto electrician come today to sort my electrical issue... guy is a legend... managed to find a break in a wire tucked in the loom in the front of the car...

http://www.autolecglos.co.uk/

he is coming back in a couple weeks to install a new alarm, giving me some time to sort out some little jobs i need to do and get it mot'd

 

[mwn11]

Any updates?=]

 

[MaLicE]

not really, just collecting parts lol, its all running and working (minus one poppup... gotta fit it back on) but the weather and work has halted the work for a while, need to get it to my mates unit so i can do some work on it in the cover and mot it...

more updates soon once i have the new parts fitted

Great read, I want to see it running!

I'll drag you at a meet sometime!

 

[MaLicE]

yeh its running guys, havent driven it in a while been working to much to drive it and wont drive it to work (work in a night club) plus mot ran out but next week or 2 it will be back on the road will get some videos and pics i have a few parts to go on that i havent got round to sorting yet...

also looking at some feed rear arches and also need some spacers for the front wheels atleast... gotta sort a couple little jobs for mot new discs front and rear (not needed but i have new ones in the garage so may as well) need to fix the washer pump and wiper motor (has a random intermittant problem) and fit a bigger turbo oil drain, im running a -8 drain at the moment and a -8 feed.... not really a big enough drain and can cause the oil to build up pressure and push through the turbo seals... but will all be done in the next week or 2 i have been saving it for better weather as even on a basic map and low revs its a b**ch to drive so saving it for dry roads lol

 

[G3 NYX]

2:23am? Go to bed lol!

Do you think you can get me a set of those plates?
(Not for the clio obviously!)

 

[Rob]

Frikken awesome.

You do update at some funny times though. I've been waiting for this to come back to life.

 

[safe9998]

Malice - I've literally just bitten the bullet and I'm doing a 13b transplant into the '8. Street port w/ t78 tub on it. Just had so many issues getting power out of the renisis, don't know how those US guys do it! Can't wait to get it back!

 

[MaLicE]

u not think of turbo'ing the renesis or supercharge? who doing the work for you??

as for the late post lol, i work in a nightclub and my sleep pattern has always been rubbish but its got worse lol!

 

[Christopher]

Your mate still got those plates? Pm me dude.

Car looks mean.

 

[G3 NYX]

I asked first!

I call dibs!

 

[Christopher]

I asked last September.

Look at the car - Already had a turbo renesis, just couldn't get the power I wanted out of it. Then the rear housing cracked and it worked out not much more to buy and swap to a street ported 13b which I know I can get the power from. Re-worx, it's there now

 

[Toby]

Wow, just read whole thread.

Wheels <3

Cracking build mate.

 

[Gaz.]

Your mate still got those plates? Pm me dude.

Going to buy a car to go with them then?

 

[G3 NYX]

I asked last September.

But did you call dibs?

Ok fair enough, maybe there are 2 sets left...

EDIT: Are they pressed plates or these: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/JAPANESE-STYL...f1b75c12e0a0aa14d353a3fedf82ad#ht_1701wt_1139

 

[Addicted]

they look pressed in the pics tbh

 

[MaLicE]

mine are genuine plates from a car in japan... which is illegal to remove from the country lol!!!

i will ask if he has any left...

re:works are good im going back there for final mapping good luck and look forward to seeing how it goes

 

[BioHzrd]

Vids or GTFO :rasp:

 

[MaLicE]

ok got this roof spoiler... im undecided (yes its unpainted lol) would be body colour...

opinions?

car will be mot'd in the next week or the week after, then its getting a new map, also got a AEM wideband on the way in the post to fit been driving it around the housing estate the past few days and every time i fall in love again

 

[Gaz.]

I say no, doesn't really flow with the car IMO.

 

[Christopher]

Nah, keep it smooth.

...and fill those f*cking wing holes!

 

[MaLicE]

im gonna go cover it with black tape then have a look lol

i like it, other people that have seen it placed on... they like it... it just doesnt look right in pics lol

 

[MaLicE]

oh and the front bumper, front wings and boot lid are all going to be sprayed will prob get the roof spoiler painted at the same time and see what its like then

 

[BioHzrd]

I like it mate, don't think you'd notice it when its painted

 

[MaLicE]

was really tempted to buy this wing too...

but im not brave enough and cant justify £700 on a secondhand wing lol.

 

[Gaz.]

That BGW is huge lol.

 

[MaLicE]

thats actually one of the lower ones lol! its a re amemiya gt wing... they do one that is higher and wider lol! but they cost near enough £2k delivered new!

 

[Fred@BTM]

get those front wings, they look cool

 

[Christopher]

Canards, you mean?

That BGW looks mental, in a good way. Which one is it?

 

[Gaz.]

I think he means the front wings cutaway behind the front wheels. Don't they call them feed wings?

 

[Christopher]

Ahh yeah, they look great!

Looks like an Amemiya BGW?

 

[Gaz.]

Yeah it is, he's already said Chris

 

[Firas]

Love that rear wing man. Would look pretty awesome with an fd rear diffuser.

 

[MaLicE]

the front wings on that black ones are the re amemiya adgt wings, the bgw is a re amemiya gt wing

the feed wings are similar to the re am adgt ones but dont stick out that far...
