schweet matey, I've just read throught the thread, some top work there, you really do know what your doing, and you do it bloody fast

Car looks sick and the work is immaculate. Round of applause for you sir.

thanks fella, can't wait to get the ECU back from being unlocked and fire it up!

Car looks nice mate, love the headlights!

that's smart, love boras, looks real nice

amazing mate!

thanks for the kind words chaps!

that is immense, you really should start your own workshop! shave seen a few cars you've built and they are all awsome!

thanks jay, i'm thinking of getting a unit and quitting my day job. i used to be a mechanic for a few years so know the trade and i'm sick of seeing what people on a few forums get charged for jobs and seeing people getting ripped off.

i'd also be doing mainly vag so could offer discounts. went to view a few units yesterday but they had been snapped up. you never know i may go it alone and start one up. also been offered part ownership of an established remap company as i used to build circuit boards for a living, program chips and am a qualified machine and hand solderer. the company also has contracts set up with forge and a couple of other parts suppliers.

Well that's good news! Then you cn have your first customer asking for a G40T lump in his GT haha! No seriously though, id be interested in having some work done if you did start up alone! Keep us posted on how it goes! :)

haha, you can't help yourself can you? Your always buying something, pimping it, finishing it, sell it and move on to the next one. Good stuff though, I like it on the black wheels, looks mooody.

Beaut!

Quality work mate! glad to see someone really mucking in an doing the work them selves! :)

Just read the whole thread, love it awesome work too, deffo think about setting up your own tuning shop

Nice how you ebayed your phone to buy some k04 parts too

Looks awsome mate ! I rewally like the lights there so cool !

thanks for all the comments chaps, connected the last custom boost pipe earlier so just waiting for the ecu to come back, hopefully tomorrow and run her up! :-D

thats great mate, credit to your self

sorry to interrupt the thread mate (you are car is awesome btw)

but where did you find that chequerplate stuff for the lighting? I've been wanting to do something similar to mine but cant find it anywhere!

did it myself mate, bought a roll of fablon / vinyl and cut the squares. a mate went to a sign writers and he paid £4 for 50 pre cut gloss black 25mm squares. he didn't use them so he gave them to me so i used them on my charge pipe.

Good work mate

thanks chap!

well it's been running for a few days now, apart from the loud exhaust it's all pretty much exactly how i intended the engine conversion to turn out.

waiting for my stiffer spring for my forge actuator, a forge turbo intake pipe and hight temp elbow off the turbo then i'll get it live mapped and rolling roaded to see what it's pushing out.

i vinyl'd the pillar between the windows which i really love and yesterday i painted the clock fascia - which is growing on me. also hoping to get the roof done gloss black early next month too.

Looks so mint dude with the black lights!!

I would!
