WENNY · 25-03-2010, 11:07 PM

i wonder why mine is wider than yours then lol

rosie · 27-03-2010, 10:20 AM

maybe differnt offset wheels or ur suspension turrets are alittle further in then mine?

i set mine up with std shocks & had loadsa clearance but when fitted coilovers they are allot fatter & is very tight.

20fiesta09 · 06-04-2010, 10:17 PM

Wow just read whole thread stunning m8 reall credit to ya

is the fuel tank alloy or stainless?

drsrst2zvh · 27-05-2010, 09:26 AM

Ukchopper · 27-05-2010, 12:04 PM

Love the seats, blue carpet to set it off

Paulo P · 27-05-2010, 01:06 PM

Great build, I've only just noticed this and I can't wait to see it finished

rosie · 27-05-2010, 06:31 PM

i wasnt a fan of the seast at 1st but do look cool in the car.

i wanted rs1600i seats as recaros are 2 well known & to the un-trained eye people would think these were std seats

i had a clean std rs1600i interior i brought for £100 but couldnt fit a £100 interior into a 10k car! lol

this car has gone ott imo & its far to clean then i wanted/expected so may sell when completed & buy a rat lol

i borrowed a mates digi cam while i was down lock up 2day & got sum betta/clearer pics

4x4 manifold blasted

how car stands atm

& 1 of the poo interioor lol

& carpet will be black (no blue as that would be pure cheese) & black flocked dash

i cut the hole out as the rear beam sits very close/rubs on rear floor but after cutting it out realised i could flattend the top of the rear bream/hoop to give me clearance so welded the section back in

the crossmember is made from a bit of 5mm box section i cut in half (so like c section)

fuel tank is made from thick gauge s/s & has been d/a'd to take the BLING off it as im not a far of bling s/s

should be getting my custom intercooler/rad back on the weekend so be nice to get that all fitted in & get the turbo unit on

whizzisat114 · 27-05-2010, 07:48 PM
