[Curt]

Well I'm thinking about having a get together this coming weekend? I have a load to get done on this for Brighton etc, so could all bring the cars, have a laugh, then maybe pub/pizza hut? I'll sort something out on Facebook

[Matt]

Sounds like a plan, I'm off on Saturday although I think Niall Scott Sam etc are going to chicksands this weekend

[Curt]

Ah awesome . Oh really? What's that for then? I'll get an event up later anyway, see who can make it. Back to work now sign

[Matt]

Chicksands for biking awesome mate well if the car passes mot you know I'll be there

[Niall]

All dependant on weather. Its not looking good for this weekend and its supposed to be a right bastard to ride in the rain!

[Seid']

Ah, I see!

Cool Matt, fingers crossed then

LIKEE

but that needs moar sterch on front!

Cheers. I'm not stretching them more though! They're brand new, and perfect size IMO





Some pictures from today:

[Fozzy]

The Front end looks 10 times better now, side numberplate helps a lot imo.

Is it just the angle of the photo or do you need to adjust the front drivers side camber. (photo 5)

[Curt]

Oh yeah, it's completely transformed! I love it to bits.

Nah there's a horrendous amount of camber on that wheel haha... It's been like is since I got it, been tempted to try and DIY it to stop it scrubbing the inside out so much but got told off as I'll "make everything else worse" on Nutz. I'm still tempted... I need to get the full alignment done but it's at least £100 and in Dorking.

[Seid']

you know the rectangular headlights? think its put that front 100x better

like this:

Other way round mate, its sand so you get more grip in the rain. Its just a case of how wet your willing to get. Truth be told, I'm more of a fair weather rider!

[Matt]

Looking awesome, please knock up some teeth and a tougne for it, I always look at it and see the front end as a face, even more so now

[C.A.R.]

Rectangular headlights are bloody expensive unless you make them yourself. The kits are stupid money!

Do look good though...

Thought about de-tango-ing the front end? Clear repeaters and reflectors?

[Curt]

Matt, just no. I may get a joke tongue for shows just for you

Low-profiles do look good, but yeah they're too expensive for me at the moment. Maybe if a bargain pops up, but it's unlikely with these!

Haha, yeah, I was on eBay last night hunting! I'm thinking either clear or smoked ones... But founds don't allow currently, just had a large shinies purchase

[Curt]

Got one adapter made and mirror test fitted today:







I don't like it.

Can't see shit!



...and it needs another decat.

[Niall]

Not a fan of the mirrors at all!

Would a decat involve flooring it up the road?

[Matt]

No decat involves bashing the shit out of it with a big pole....





And cut I'm gunna make them, and stick them on on Saturday! Just you watch haha

[Curt]

Well I don't think my uncle would be too impressed with either of those

Hahaha, do it! I may even put it on at Incarnation if you find something

[Matt]

Haha nah he won't be pleased, plus your car will get red on it.




Hmm I need a sheet of steel and some white paint haha

[Curt]

Haha, the tongue should be easy! Forget the teeth

[Matt]

Nah it needs teeth, and a bloody mangled arm hanging out haha

[Niall]

Could make a stuffed tongue to clip on about 2ft long lol

[Fozzy]

Mirrors that you can't see from really aren't good. So is that you don't like them because you can't see or do you not like the appearance?

[Curt]

Haha this is my thoughts

Mirrors that you can't see from really aren't good. So is that you don't like them because you can't see or do you not like the appearance?

Not ideal really! As that's the point... Erm I think I liked how it looked, but was in two minds. When I tried to see out of it, it made my mind up!

[Curt]

Me and John foamectomy'd my seat yesterday, took like 10 minutes and what a difference! So much more supportive and bucket-like

More exciting update to come tomorrow.

[Ed Doe]

Btw Curt, I'm just fettling it and it should be ready tomorrow evening you know what I'm talking about!!

[Curt]

AMAZING!

[Curt]

Delivery!











Driftworks...



... they care like bears.

Hopefully get them on tomorrow after work.


Also been collecting audio for the last couple of weeks:







I know it's against the "ethos" of the car but I like my music too much. Once the turbo's on it'll make up for it!

[Fozzy]

oooooooooo, this is going to look smart, and sound it of course. Just hope your exhaust doesn't over power it haha

[Curt]

Yeah, hopefully! It over powers most haha, hoping that the silent coat makes a difference...
