Ollie's 172 Cup... 'cause silver can still be cool.

[oliver.james]

Good evening CS

Fresh photos. After getting home this afternoon, I decided to give the cup a well deserved clean; it hadn't been done since just before FCS, so it had a lovely layer of dust/dirt making it look dull and tired.

I often forget how nice iceberg can look with a bit of work. Happy with the photos too actually.

Notice the fail on the wheel pictures; I put tyre blackener on, then drove without taking some off, meaning it's flicked up the side a bit!

Thanks, Ollie.

Tyre Black? What happened to tyre shine!?

Plated wheel nuts look lush...
Did i miss something with the Wilwood brakes and Speedline 2118 rims?

Silver is Plain Jane... Gris Iceberg is Joe Kool!!

 

[Gaz85]

[JackJack]

Silver is the choice of champions.

 

[Y7 ADW]

Always been my favourite Iceberg on here. Amazing.

 

[oliver.james]

Thanks for all the comments. Really do love the car when it's clean!

I'm just counting down now until the car goes down south to JMS for some engine tweakin'

If you've not seen my progress thread, I've been collecting a number of parts over recent weeks/months.

 

[Bux]

Looks great mate! I'm liking your plans for it at JMS

Also, silver with anthracite wheels FTW!

 

[cosmicremedy]

Easily one of the best on the forum. Looking forward to seeing how the engine mods go

 

[Hixle]

Awesome mate, big fan of this car. Was having a good look around it at FCS, couldn't see you though!

 

[Porkie]

Lovely looking car

Thanks! I wasn't around the car too much through FCS to be honest, although I did keep popping back to it from time to time. Are you going to be at CSS?

Thank you. I'm also very much looking forward to the engine mods, not long at all now!

Lovely looking car

Cheers! Just having a read through your ring/bedford thread actually, looked great! :approve:

haha yes mate, less than a month!

I'm still undecided on what colour to spray the engine/rocker cover; either the crinkle black or, after seeing yours, a lighter colour!

Are you convoying to CSS, and if so, which one?

I was going to make some brake ducts, but I've just never bothered to!

I'm going to get the streamline carbon surrounds, so will probably decide on what to do then; possibly just mesh them over, as Lee's (Porkie) look really neat and tidy done like that.

Looks stunning mate, it is a credit to you!

Thank you!

[oliver.james]

Thanks! I keep meaning to send you a PM over to enquire about a couple of parts.

I have a couple more photos from Sunday too. I've shot this exact photo, near enough, some time ago; thought I'd compare to how the car looks now.

 

[toomer]

Perfect mate!

Looking great Oliver, you would cry if you saw mine currently Lost a bit of love for it while i have some issues so its filthy....

Some C-unit scuffed the rear bumper on mine the other day to

Its back off to JMS tomorrow to try and get to the bottom of the wobble the car has under load, going to try a NS Shaft then a Clutch as we are all running low on Ideas for the cause.

Hopefully if that cures the issues then my RS2 will be going on at the same time! Hero Spec Black

It's a shame about your recent issues with the car.

For some reason, I thought you were one of the first to get your RS2 on! Fingers crossed it's tomorrow then, assuming the wobble gets sorted tomorrow!

I am indeed fella, will come and find you for a chat!

Good good! :approve:

[HartZ]

what a beaut, lovely looking car

 

[Italian_Job]

its not cool
its fricken awesome

I would have been mate, however diagnosing the wobble needed (needs) to be sorted first, the car wouldn't have been safe on the rollers otherwise for mapping.

 

[oliver.james]

Thanks!

J, did you get the wobble sorted today?

 

[-J-]

Just dropped it off to JMS.

Will be down there a while I expect, new shaft going on, then a clutch if that don't solve it, it's a strange one, seems to have everyone stumped at the moment!

Just a case of wait and see!

Cars looking very sorry for it's self, it's dirtier than a fat hooker with aids at the moment.

 

[Owen]

Not sure on convoy mate, will see if the fellow welshies are doing one I think

 

[subarufreak]

still love this car and all the mods on it!!

nicest silver phaseII on here!

 

[DanielJames]

Love it pal

Looks the dogs mate.
