The BoostBus - detailed.

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Well..

That's a lie.

It was, about 2 weeks ago.

First time in about 6 months it had more than a bi-monthly bucket of suds and a rinse off. It had a going over with BiltHamber soft clay (excellent stuff) and a coat of DJ 'light fantastic' wax.

Then I popped to Ants to put the thing on its arse after getting some lower profile tyres...

There was a big fire (thanks, Dave) and a HUGE muddy puddle. The bus is now covered in sh*t and it's going to stay that way for a while. I kinda like the dirty rally slaaag look...

It's impossible to take a photo of this thing looking dirty :S It really is hanging.

STi spoilers are coming next, then that's it. No more spending .. probably !

I want you to buy a better looking exhaust. Then make love to me hairy man.

 

[welshname]

I farking love that.

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

SFD - I have a Haywood & Scott full system (well, a fairly pointless 'sports' cat and a large centre section followed by a H&S backbox) in my garage, but I like the subtlety of this one.

It's noisy when wound up but quiet for sneaking home at gone-late. My current abode is like a Roman amphitheatre. I don't want to upset the natives. You do know where I live, right ?

Maybe I'll try just the H&S b/box and see what happens.

 

[Bluebeard]

The backbox looks like the exhaust from a non-turbo.

Change it. Then make love to me.

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

It's actually a Prodrive box...

You couldn't afford me sweetiepie but thanks for the desperation all the same.

Rhys - Cheers Me too !

 

[welshname]

Daniel is right. They really don't suit a perfectly straight exit exhaust.

 

[Bluebeard]

Daniel is right.

This should be quoted throughout the forum.

:hail:

On another note please tell me this is visiting CSS???

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Negative. It'll still be dirty and somewhere in Sussex for a mates stag do. Forgot all about that TBH

 

[welshname]

We're getting a divorce...

 

[Gally]

Looks tidy? Any special products used? Carnauba mud?

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Yard mud followed by antique mattress & curtains doused in tramp piss ash.

Apply liberally by air and leave to haze.

Have another beer and go home later.

No buckets required.

 

[Paul.M]

No buckets required.

No bucket method? you trend setter! looks spot on that

Gotta love the boostbus .

Looks lovely - I had a UK Prodrive edition Scoob when I was 19 (Waaaay back in 2000) and LOVED it - and the estates are really growing on me now, may have to buy one for a bit again....

Holy crap, you're still alive !!

Lucky git.

Yes, do it !!!

 

[Russ_16v]

Only £1100 to insure back then too, and ran politely off the 160mph mark on the Speedo too, I do miss that

 

[Vicky.]

Holy crap, you're still alive !!

Lol busy times for me at the moment but yes still live n kickin'.

Looks Amazing!
Can't help but feel like it needs some sort of splitter though? Not sure.

Hmm.. Dunno. Not sure there's many options and it's low and equal with the side skirts..

If you find something suitable feel free to share though

 

[JoeyD]

It's maybe that the side skirts and the rear bits behind the wheels are un-painted. I just think it'd look a bit more... balanced with something on the front too? Not sure, I'm doubting myself now! lol

 

[coleman]

V6 STI splitter? In black to match the skirts.

A bit like this

 

[Jekyll]

Shed

 

[JoeyD]

Yeah, something like that ^

Just looks like it's missing an OEM lip - a bit like 90% of all MX5's (mine included!)

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Coleman.. Cheers but that looks awful to me. Black on colour looks terrible.

£100 plus paint ?! Not sure I'm wiling to bother trying tbh.

Mark - blow me

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

I had something on my old bus ..

(How funny does the new one look there!!)

I'm still not sure it brings much to the table in terms of looks though.

:S

 

[Jekyll]

Flol

 

[coleman]

You do know its the same splitter?

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Yeah but it was colour coded and already on the car.

I don't think it makes much of a difference really.

 

[Munson]

Got to love boost.
