that engine bay looks so nice silversufer :doubleup: do you ever sleep :mrgreen:

The postie keeps bringing me things too - there seems to be some kind of relationship between the posties visits and my bank account!

Looking good mate

Don't u just love aftermarket parts......

TSL Grp N comes with easy fit hangers that previoulsy used 'P' Clips. This current design is no different, but had no 'P'Clips, so a trip to the hardware store was required.

MilTek centre comes with bolts/spring fixings that are too big for the flange fitting on the OE cat pipe so the cat pipe needs drilling. They also come without nuts to fit on the end of the supplied bolts (how bazaar,not even on the packing list). These are a different size to OE so unless you have a draw of nuts (like me) that will be another trip to your local hardware store.

However don't bother as they end up too short, the spring mount prevents you from getting a nut on the end. So resorted to plain old M8 nuts/bolts and washers as I had done on my last scoob.....easy job made long and frustrating due to supplier not providing the correct hardware.

Next weeks project :

Taking shape nicely :10:

Hawkeyes just *need* a splitter, makes it look ten times better. And with some Prodrive springs, the arch gap will be gone too.

Good going :ok:

where did you get splitter from silversurfer.how much 4 backbox

Looking good Scott.....exhaust sound loud enough for you?:mrgreen:

Still fully cat'd at the moment so still a bit muted. Certainly got more scooby soundtrack now though.Hopefully when decatted i should be back to the sound I had on the Classic.

Very nice scott, nice to see those soppy pink STI stickers gone too:doubleup:

well spotted...........:doubleup:

I like them without the sti stickers as those that know know & thoses that dont know dont need to know you know! Know what i mean? :drive:

My centre pipe was exactly the same. Did the same as you and its been fine.

Took the day off today as courier was coming to collect some old Scooby bits sold on ebay, so thought I may aswell change the springs.

Will update with picture of car once it's settled on the springs.
Done an oil change aswell before lunch and then built a wall in the afternoon, so bloody knackered now and not had a chance to give it a good drive yet.

NOTE TO SELF : When the car is lowered and your doing an oil change/working under the bonnet....STOP KICKING/TREADING ON THE SPLITTER.......

Supprised you didnt clean the springs before you put them on fella ;-)

Rust & dirt Scott!!! Thats not like you :drive:

Couple of quick shots.

Looks really good fella

Nice to see you putting your stamp on it, and does look v.nice.

But have to say I did like you old classic as well and just as much.

Liking that a lot Scott, looking very nice indeed :cool:

Well this weekend, the car spent most of it's time up on bricks........

Looks much better...although 18's would be sweet!:wink:

Agree but those Rota GT-Forces don't come cheap and I gotta stop spending....

them gold wheels anger got would look wicked on your car silversurfer

Oh yes :more:

Getting better and better every time we see it!

I'm liking that mate.

Looking the dogs fella :ok:

:10:

Fantastic Scott. I've gotta say, I still really like those wheels, they really suit the car and I prefered the way mine drove on 17's. If my 18's hadnt come about so cheaply I would still be on the 17's.

Oh, and looks like I had better clean mine for sunday!!

Nice job, gotta have some balls to attempt a job like that and get a good result as you have! 8-)

Done it many time before, especially on my old Ford RS alloys from years back.
Infact i did a set of Compomotives even before I had a licence, but didn't understand offset or PCD back then and found they didn't fit my car when I passed my test. Datsun (that's a Nissan for all you young'ns) fitment doesn't fit a Ford Escort DOH !!!

LOL, I did exactly the same with a set of those on my MK 2. Never forget it, we dropped the car back down, thought 'awesome', and then tried to reverse it off the drive and it was going nowhere :lol:

wheels look much better,just waiting for my m8 to do mine as well

Scott - looks a great job on the wheels. They do suit the hawk.

its saturday steve....dont forget!

OH BUGGER!, Was it not a Sunday last year?. I had in my head it was Sunday. Thats going to be a problem then, as I am working. Will have to see what I can do..........

Its simple, play the 'boss' card and rope someone else into doing it :mrgreen:
