Thanks Julie!

djryan25

Lol sorry pal. Dont know what i was looking at.

djryan25

Another added security device. nothing special, and something i wont use all the time but when the cars stood for a few days its worth using. had to widen it a bit to get over the clutch arm making the original lock not usable, so ive bought another.



also a few pics before and during a photo shoot. pics are from my phone. The proper pictures are really good cant wait to get them and see it in a mag, surprising what a proper camera and setup can do.

djryan25

well ive been ill for a few days but today i was fed up of staying in so i decided to go out and paint the 10mm mill gap on the discs where the pads don't catch. well this happened. arches out, cleaned, painted suspension, wishbones etc. then wax oiled as much as i could.

so a hour job turned into a full days work lol.

craigk47

CLEAN! Fuck them brakes are sexy!

craigk47

+ what paint did you use on the discs? Will it last with the heat??

djryan25

Cheers.
I hope so. Its engine paint so should be ok. I dont track the car so not going to get silly hot. I only did the 10mm space near the bell. The suspension and other bits are painted in the same paint.

craigk47

Only time will tell I suppose. Looks mint for now though! ��

djryan25

Touch wood it will. Seems to be at the min.

djryan25

Because im a short arse i thought id try out my new hop-up out and give the car a going over. the buffer has a very soft pad on, no abrasive compounds used. Its hard to get a good photo of the shine with my camera (galaxy s4). Im holding off having the front end sprayed as ive got a few ideas im deciding on.

Im after a good wet look gloss/top coat so feel free to comment.

19/6/2015 - Symposer Delete / clean & paint

Im not sure if its just because i havent drove the car for a while but now ive got shut of the syposer im sure it boosts for longer. Maybe just me. The noise is no different.
Just need to wait for my header tank to come now, then onto changing the hoses.











also a little pic out of this month fast ford

Its still looking good. The meguires polish you use, is that just the same stuff that you can put on with a cloth instead of the buffer.

djryan25

yeah. i do use a cloth pal. that was just to give it a buff afterwards. its really easy to use.

djryan25

Hi :wave: . ive got a my first show on sunday and as said previous i would try the Meguairs ultimate wax. (compared to previous Gold Glass)

Its Had two coats of wax between two days by hand and today a coat of Autobrite Project 32.

as always these pics are from my Galaxy S4

















Im quite happy with the outcome. Wheels tomorrow, and then the good tyre shine on sunday.

Looks awesome mate. Only thing I would do if it were mine is loose the rally flapz, bit too saxo for me!

djryan25

if i did, it definitely wouldnt be shining lol. it flicks stones up alot . to be honest they dont stick out much. less than some ive seen

Car looks awesome mate

djryan25

cheers pal.
header tank should be here tomorrow (hopefully) only been 3 weeks, why they sell things then say the manufacturer has to make it . also waiting on my docs so i can fit my private plates. the rear has no flag on it and ive had the slogan moved hopefully not that noticeable

djryan25

10/7/15
its finally arrived. got the header tank fitted. bit of a pain to be honest. one bolt must have been wrong, way to big. sorted that tho. looks good with the hooses and hose finishes. engine bay looks more complete just need all the caps now.

The shine on the paint work is class.

djryan25

Cheers pal. Its getting to where i want it no Just need front end spraying to get chips out and a mark on the rear then ill be happy. Had the rear lights out yesterday. Amount of crap behind was unreal. Ill put pics up later.

djryan25

Bonnet strut kit ordered for ford Fair. Hopefully meet some of you there. Ill be on fast fords stand. Mags out this week with the feature.

JamieM

Looking good mate,

I want a header tank like that not yet though many other bits I want before haha. I'm not really a fan of the spec r jobby it doesn't look very OEM and the AS one doesn't have glass the pro alloy looks far superior.

RichieST

iTrader: (2)

Header tank looks a nice bit of kit!

djryan25

it only took them 3 weeks to make lol. after ford fair im going to texture all the plastics i think.

djryan25

had a bit of free time the other day so took the rear lights out to give it a clean. i couldnt believe how bad it was. added new screws too.
also cleaned the rubber bump stops on the boot.

djryan25

im happy i bought the one with the glass, not sure its worth the extra £'s tho. im also not fond of the spec r ones.

djryan25

been waiting a few month but now i can share the mag and pics. hate my pic theyve put on. looks nowt like me..

djryan25

and now some shots from the shoot.. it was at night but ade did a brill job.

PaulinhoT

Looks lovely, well done

H3lsing

Nice personal touches all around. That grille must have been a right fcuker for whoever did the carbon job . The thing about the mk2.5 I like is overall it's well proportioned and looks like it will keep you wherever you position her.

djryan25

New Exhaust tips ordered,
Thought id fit some bonnet struts to make it easier at shows and less worry while cleaning/service it with the wind, it never felt stable with just the prop.

Fitting was straight forward enough. just needed a few test fits of the plastics while trimming them.

Nice touch mate, only thing that would bug me after all the attention to detail is the wonky p/s reservoir cap, can you get a cover for it or something?

djryan25

There all going alloy pal. £30 each tho. Going to see if there on offer at ford fair.

djryan25

New Miltek tips have arrived. not very shiny so had to get the dremmel out. an hour later and there sparkling. all in prep for ford fair.

djryan25
