well well well if it isnt this guy, aint spoke to you in time man, yeah you should bob up sometime for a chill. I keep doing abit to it when i get chance but shes coming on quite well now. wheels are being paint as we speak and gonna rustle up a false floor this next week :)

Poloshow is about the camping.

Pointless doing just the one day IMO.

Please make this car faster....

i know what you mean but i aint exactly a forum big player so i kinda get lost on the banter, plus i'll see you lot to talk to in the daytime anyway :)

with regards to making it faster the only thing shes getting is a chip to suit the mods and thats it. she aint earnt her keep yet :p

GET A CAM... PLEASE

Does need a chip

We fitted one to go with the pulleys, but it was messed, revs just kept shooting up then dropping down on idle. Yammed the standard one back on and Brett never got round to sorting one in the end.

Another one of those evening in the rain outside mine

yeah i opened up the ecu a while back and noticed the lack of chip, so i wanna get that sorted before she goes on the road. I'm reluctant to spending much more on her though because i need to keep abit of money in the bank for when it breaks down on me which call me a pessimist but i just think its gonna happen :(

Yeah, it will happen lmao.

Buy charger belts in bulk too

they joys of owning an unreliable old shitbox. the price we have to pay for looking cool

If there abit of interest from some of the local boys then maybe ill pack my sleeping bag lol. Havnt had compfire cooked bacon for a while anyways :p

I wonder where you got the idea to put PLS on it?????

haha well ermm i just had a brainwave one day, I'm not one for copying other peoples ideas :p PLS and HTN's have been a dream of mine for aaaagggess now, just glad I've got a set :)

Either way i like what you've done to her, miss my G i do!

Looking great mate.

Awesome looking lock-up thing too!

Cheers for the approval :)

having a massive shed is such a help, never any issues about space or weather.

well I've painted them :) they are actually quite light in real life and I'm really impressed with them but they look so dark on the photos

managed to get some centers that will fit because i didnt fancy paying PLS prices. Any ideas what to do with them though? leave them that colour or maybe black ? ideas welcome

I love colour coded wheels myself, espescially when they're splits in a 4 spoke pattern like that.

Just my opinion, and they look like a quality job at that.

Id' love a 14" version of these with silver bolts :)

But they never made a 14" so you will be looking forever...

Look immense Jake, gold n green wins!

shame you arnt doing yours green anymore :)

I just need give them a reeet going over with all sorts of polish and shizzle to get them really shiney and protected.

Ideas on the centers ? black,silver or potentially chrome. I'm gonna see if i can get someone to make me some PLS stickers for them aswell

I know a man that will make you the PLS stickers, like my BBS centercaps i got made up.

Can lend you a PLS cap to copy off too if you wish?

Black i reckon, stands out too much as they are atm IMO

them wheels are loveeeerlyyyy

how much do you reckon he would want to make me set? if i were to find someone to do them for me id probly just get them a close up picture off the net to use but cheers anyway. I'm thinking black aswell.

Well, i can get a pic if you need?

hang on and ill find you his website. I know him off the mini forum. done a few bits n bobs for me :)

His site is down or not there anymore..

yeah if you could take a close up pic for me then message it to me that would be great. probly gonna get in touch with him soon and see what he can do. cheers for the link :)

well i thought i'd make a start on the false floor today to try and tidy up the interior abit. i wanted to keep it as lightweight as posible so i went for quite a thin sheet of ply about 5mm.

did some measuring up and got it drawn out on cut out, would of been nice if it was spot on and fit in in one piece

made some supports for it to fasten to. I know its not a pro job but its good enought for me and keeps the weight down

had to got it into two sections to get it in which it needed doing anyway so that the back piece comes out easy enought id i need to get the spare wheel out

made holes for the harnesses

I test fitted my sub in place which I'm still not sure about. i really want it in the car but having it stripped out with a big sub then sat there looks abit cheesy so i dont know what to do about that yet.

Its just a case of covering the boards in some nice black material when i find some to match the carpet then fasten the boards and the sub down

looks pretty smart dude :)
