FMIC Works in progress

A bit of an update.

New headers wrapped and ready to fit,3rd set i have done over the last 2 years.And at last i am happy with these.



New headers fitted.



Time to give the scoob a well needed drink



All back together and fired up.







I took it up the road and back, not too happy with the lag,goes like a rocket but takes longer to get on boost.
I thought a pipe had shot off at 1st but it was new dump valve - So bloomin loud.

THere is light at the end of the tunnel, Just panels to put on now.

Its only standard TD05, will be putting a 20g on as soon as funds permit

Nice lookin headers! I have a set of ported headers but each time i look at fitting them i chicken out! Are they difficult to fit or should i just get on with it!!

[C. J.]

Get on with it

Spent another few hours putting scoob back together.
Just front splitter to go on, needed super glue to keep the rubber trim in place,spent over a grand since off the road and a tube of super glue stops me from finishing. lol

[majorscooby]

May i be the first to congratulate you, looks awesome!!! FMIC looks nice and snug

Thanks mate.

I am well pleased with it, Mind you it did take me 4 months
The finish is just how i wanted it, just the splitter to finish it.
I will not be rushing to do another FMIC though,although its not dificult, its a time consuming job if you want that perfectionist finish, which i did.

Car is also full serviced now, got to do the front pads as noticed today they have about a third left on them, which will soon be eaten up around the ring.

I had tarox once a while back, they were ok, i did manage to warp the discs on a track day.
I would be happy with them on the back, but up front i personally would go for some pagids, bloomin expensive though.

There is a chap by the name of Dynamix he runs his car in totb and still keeps his Brembo's when many others have changed to 6or 8 pots. He is useing Performance friction discs & padds. I have recently fitted just the pads and they are fantastic. Dynamix recons fade free. He also visits the ring a few times per year and again fade free. His car is running over 500bhp . Give them a try mate it's one of the mod's that really work.

Nice one Nige, i have heard good reports of them too.

Front splitter now fitted.
Just number plate and a couple of decals to do.
Took it for a little spin, going great now,not boosting as high as it was with old TMIC, Time for a chat with Scott me thinks.

[Tyler]

Before





After





Number plate position,This one?

[]

Or this one?

[BIG"E"]

The second

The speed cameras might not be able to read it there

Will that be legal there though ????

2nd position not legal , as its bit tricky to read.

[C. J.]

Would not worry about the postion as its looks like a smaller than legal plate !
I'd put it in the second postion but a full size one or sticker type

[majorscooby]

2nd position! and yes a sticker type

Agree with you guys, on the splitter is better.
C.J yep its fair bit smaller than standard, been on for about 3 years and not got pulled by police, think mainly because its clear font.
Any idea where to get sticker type?

Cheers

I would of thought that any sign writers/print shop could do it, its only a bit of vinyl.
They'll just tap it in print it out and hey presto!

Took the wheels off and gave them clean and glaze seal.

All finished and ready for Germany.

[majorscooby]

Wrap it up in bubble wrap mate!!! looks the muts nuts!

[Mark83]

I would personally stick to legal plates especially when heading to Europe, I know of people getting stopped at the ports and fined £30. The ANPR cameras don't like non-legal plates.

[iain1502]

This company should be able to help with the stick on number plate http://www.idensigns.co.uk/

Could not agree with you more there, it does look the nuts - also sounds sweet.

The last and most important graphics to go on the car

[DukeBoy]

Very nice Martyn

She's looking the doggies dangle downs now.

I take it you could arrange the SES web address in black? If so, I have a set for sure.

[BIG"E"]

Very Nice

Oooh oooh me too, especially in black!!!!! let us know if you can in black. only want one!

[mrs crowman]

it does look so nice now i so miss driving it

Guys
The sign/graphics place i went to was over cranbrook, I turned up out of the blue and the guy was spot on, did my plate and the southeastscoobies bits whilst i waited.
He can do any colour you want, I had 4 done plus number plate all for £30.

I looked at some banners he did, very nice.
Steve,Not sure what you paid for the last one, he said 10ftx2ft full colour would be £75 plus vat for 1 off, but considerably cheaper for a few.

He showed me a couple of scoobs he has done full decals/graphics on, One was zen performance. Very nice.

Guys,Girls
Put your name down if you want a "www.southeastscoobies.co.uk" Sticker.
Also size required. Mine was 80cmx3cm
I will then call and order them.

Big E
I will change it if you like, but whatever you decide will stick this time.
Not Red or Green as already asigned to mod groups.

I paid £70.00 for 2 banners (I did the SJC banner at the same time, with a Lancaster sponsor logo on it) but that is a good price mate for sure.
