Chunk took some pics yesterday after my mot, hasnt changed alot really mainly new exhaust and destickerd, most of the other stuff has been done to make it run right
http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/b...%203/MyRA5.jpg http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/b...%203/MyRA4.jpg http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/b...%203/MyRA3.jpg http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/b...%203/MyRA1.jpg Most of the work done so far was to make it run right, had to change: Headers Downpipe Up pipe Coil packs Plugs Temperature sensor just to get it going, later on i got a 5zigen exhaust and fitted my new stereo and speakers and gave it a general clean. So nothing too major really but now all thats done i can start on the stuff i want to do :ninja: |

I'm sure we can find somewhere for them to go. I will show you my plans for when they were going on my scoob. Got some edited pics somewhere. just got to find them
|
I love it already! What colour you doing the wheels?
|
Looks good Andy, why did you change the colour then?
Did you use a compressor and paint gun? Scott :) (by the way ur old scoob still going strong) |
Very nice mate
|
It is looking good
Just needs those few 'little' bits i've been telling you that you need |
Looking great Andy! :doubleup:
|
Good job mate, now it needs the wheels doing in white!
|
Nah, bright Orange :ok:
Colour coded car parking at Japbash??? Quote:
|
Mate you sure got balls,hats off to you,Hope to see you at Jap Bash
|
The next bits to be fitted are in my garage at work :nod:
|
Cheers for dropping the bits off Lee and thankyou to Gary for providing them, got to work out how to take them apart now lol
As for the wheels ive got a set of newage ones to go on but not to sure on the colour. Got a few colours in mind but still undecided, was thinking of: Gloss white Gloss black Kawasaki green Orange Decissions decissions, anyone fancy doing a photoshop? |
Gloss black!!!
Any other colour will spoil the theme |
Loving the new look Andy, Hopefully Ill see it at Japbash!
I do miss it though, its great fun to drive! Enjoy it :) |
Getting there, wont be at japbash unfortunatly due to the water pump packing up :-( but it gives me more time to finish it off i guess, just started on the wheels, bit behind with them thanks to halfords filling the supposed "clear" laquer with cream! dont know wtf's going on with that but the new tins supplied by chunk seem to be fine.

Right bit of an update nothing major really just abit of tidying up.
Cleaned and undersealed the arches Before: http://i896.photobucket.com/albums/a...No%203/038.jpg After: http://i896.photobucket.com/albums/a...No%203/040.jpg Cleaned and painted the callipers Before: http://i896.photobucket.com/albums/a...o%203/0372.jpg After: http://i896.photobucket.com/albums/a...o%203/0462.jpg Also painted the shocks, fitted flaps and skirts too http://i896.photobucket.com/albums/a...o%203/0452.jpg http://i896.photobucket.com/albums/a...o%203/0282.jpg http://i896.photobucket.com/albums/a...o%203/0272.jpg Painted and fitted my new wheels, hopefully will get rid of any rubbing and they look abit better too. http://i896.photobucket.com/albums/a...o%203/0322.jpg Then once i thought it was all finished i took it off the axle stands and something didnt look quite right :-( http://i896.photobucket.com/albums/a...o%203/0592.jpg So back up on the stands, wheels off and flaps gone. This is how it looks now, sorry about the bad pics but they were taken on my phone http://i896.photobucket.com/albums/a...o%203/0602.jpg |
I could of moved the flaps up abit but then they would of been near the top of the arch and only about an inch of flap, I know the rear flaps are still in the above pic but i only got around to removing them this morning, ill get some better ones soon just got to do a few more little bits and next up is the water pump.
|
Looking good mate
Bet you can't wait to get her back one the road |
Andy if you still want a change of spoiler I have this sitting around in my shed...
http://crucialweb.net/sean/images/boystoys/spoiler1.jpg Needs a ruddy good scrub and obviously a respray but I see you have the latter skill nailed already ;) |

Well i got the water pump got done yesterday, well in saying me i mean my mate done it and i helped out and did what he told me lol but it was a great learning curve and enjoyed doing it suprisingly :-)
Anyway out with the rad, disconnected numerous hoses, took off the exterior belts etc then the main pully. Actualy all of it came off pretty easily with no hic ups suprisingly. Took off the covers and discovered its actualy got a relativley new timming belt, so thats abit of good news :-) Marked up the timming and undid the tensioner and took the belt off. http://i896.photobucket.com/albums/a...203/0052-1.jpg Undone the waterpump hoses and unbolted the pump and again came out quite easily. The offending pump Discoverd it was leaking from the thermostat and that the pump its self was completly ****ed. It span really freely and was really noisey too. http://i896.photobucket.com/albums/a...o%203/0062.jpg Nice shini new one http://i896.photobucket.com/albums/a...%203/007-1.jpg New thermostat, pump and gaskets all sealed and fitted http://i896.photobucket.com/albums/a...%203/010-1.jpg Put it all back together with only a slight hic up with the timming but got it all sorted and got it timmed up better than when we it started. Filled up all the fluids and started it up. http://i896.photobucket.com/albums/a...o%203/0112.jpg Should be back on the road soon just got a couple more bits to do. Thought it would be alot harder to do and was worrying me quite abit but i really enjoyed lol sad i know |
