Just joined up
 

Hi,

Just thought I'd sign up here, been around Scoobynet for around 10 years, started with a 99 UK Turbo, been through a few now, plus a few Evos.

Having a browse around here, surprised how many Scoobs are local to me, I live in Birchington. Really dont see many around!

Now just recently acquires a Classic Unfinished project to complete from Daz Davies on Snet/22B.

Right, since obtaining this from Daz a while back, it has taken me a bit of time to sort some of the bits needed to finish!

Now starting to put this back together:

Few jobs to do yet:

Finish Install all wiring looms
Order fuel tank/install fuel system
Decide whether to go flat bootfloor
Fit new seats/harnesses
Fit Turbo
Install Syvecs
General tidy up of Paintwork, started OS already.

Some current pics:

Very nice, I've been looking at that front splitter myself from a seller evil bay. I'm liking it even more now!!! Are you pleased with the fit??

Fit is pretty good tbh. Rather this than fibreglass!

Looks like the project is coming along well! :)

nice to see it progressing well Matt, looking forward to plugging latop into it

Looks a good project, slightly different to the norm and a great colour!

Hello & welcome matey :santawave:

Can you let us know where you got your front splitter from please? The one I was looking is no more on eBay.

Looking good. As above like the splitter and would like to know more.
Also like the holes in the bunper, nice touch and looks well done.

Splitter was from here:

http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/automax_ra...:X:CEM:GB:1181

I believe he has a few left still, not currently listed on EBay.

Good communication and delivery as promised.

Yep that's the guy or company that I was looking at. The picture was showing it attached to a white v5. You must of grabbed the last one. Will have to keep an eye out for one or fire him a message to see if there going to stock more.

Send him a mail, I think he still has some left, thats what I did when I saw someone selling one on SNet for £90 secondhand!!

Few Updates:

Jobs Completed:

Both ARB's repainted and fitted with Whiteline Droplinks
Spare wheel cut out and replaced with Flat sheet of composite.
Turbo Fitted
Intercooler Pipes fitted

Few updates after Daz moaned that i am no good at updating project threads!

Had a few issues with cooling, didnt feelnthe fans on it were up to much, so replaced them with 2 12" Pacets, now you can actually hear them working! Changed rad too as that was leaking at the seam by the endtanks:

Put it back together just in time for Blyton Sprint, and trailered it up there to its birthplace! Lol. Daz very kindly let me store it at his the night before.

At Blyton had some issues with coolant temp again, Daz attended with me and was a great help during the day, thanks Daz. We decided to change the aftermarket Header Tank on it back to an OEM one and try from there, a quick trip to Dazs saw one removed from my old JDM widetrack, back at track was re-fitted then went out again, found water temp to be sorted!

Some pics from the day:

Finally after a few teething problems, met Simon JGM at SVA Imports today to finalise the map on the car.

http://i960.photobucket.com/albums/a...psdaa9092f.jpg

Big thanks to Simon for his patience over the past few months, even going out of his way and doing some interesting late night mapping sessions. Thanks again Simon.

Few other changes have been made since last update with the addition of Carbon Door Trims front and rear, New flocked dash etc. Will take some pics at the weekend and update.

No problem Matt. Nice to see it all come together ;)

Nice one, looks the business. What power are you making?
