can't wait to see the alleycats, lazy way of polishing them though!! haha. I tried that a couple years ago with the car jacked up and in 5th gear... bad idea.

pretty gutted i couldnt come to the polo show, woulda been nice to see your car again, however unfinished it may be.

Cheers arron, its very unfinished! Looks pretty shit to be honest

I've spent some right money on her today aswell, i must be mad.

I've just bought,

Paint

Thinners

3m Fume mask

5m of injection standard fuel hose

5 x fine fuel filters

4m of exhaust tubing to make the custom system

Didn't see that coming haha

They're jets for the webber urbis!

Love it, Max.

This is by far my most-visited thread on here. Got me after a MK2f so I'm after one next summer.

Sounds great in the vid clip, despite stock exhaust.

Yeah i've got a compressor :-)

And no its not stainless , can't afford it right now.

Also, its not 3" lol, its just standard G40 size (1 3/4") , I'm building the engine to be torque biased so the smaller the cross section, the better

mate the cars lookin sweet gonna be awesome when the paints done. how did you get the breather pipe on the fuel pump blanking plate? was it out of a large block of metal? or isit welded on?

It really isn't , but yeah, it will be much better when the paints done hopefully.

As for the breather, its basically a blank for the mechy fuel pump with a small boss on the back of it that the hose goes over, made of ally.

I made a few a while back :-)

Good to finally meet u at the weekend bro Car was looking alright, considering there was no paint on it

aye, i'd love to spray my car in the future.

i wasnt being serious about 3" lol.. that's like turbo territory and wouldnt really give any gains for the engine if naturally aspirated.

i havnt had time to look back through your thread but are you doing anything with the flywheel?

Yeah likewise mate,

The car was looking terrible

Will hopefully be much better for action!

Bring the bike

Lol yeah,

Flywheel, not at the moment dude.

I'm hopefully dropping in the ABD soon instead of the MH, and when i do it will be getting a GT item that will hopefully have had some weight shaved off it.

I want to do it myself but i doubt any of my lathes will be accurate enough for something that will be doing over 8,000rpm

oh yeah, she can rev her tits off haha

aaah i got you, i should really read shoudnt i? as tramp said i think the car looks great! i love the rough look its got atm.

Haha, how can you like the rough look?

As if that is a stock exhaust! Sounds louder than mine and i've got no midbox!

Has she been on the rollers yet?

Most of the noise is from the carb dude,

And nope, i really need to get it on though

I'm hoping for anything above GT power to be honest.

Cheers matty, but it really isn't

Can't wait till its got an interior, its new wheels and a paint job.

It's only just started!

Did a bit more body work on her last night, got the offside quarter panel in primer...

Also had a look where the steering arms were after lowering it again and there pretty close

Looking sweet mate :) Can't wait to see it painted, want to do mine next?

oh right, just because I've got a blanking plate for mine but the bloody thing leaks! arrrr

I can get you the dimensions if you want dude?

Saw this today, I like it, well I thought I liked its current state but it looks ruff in the cold light of day haha.

yeah its looking pretty rough lol

Cheers though! , was supposed to be fully painted by sunday morning but the f**king weather didn't let me do anything other than a first coat on the bonnet.
