My black series 2 died a death a month or so ago.

So.... I bought this Mk3 XR3i from a mate on here (v-man)

This is how it was when i bought it.










I'll update regularly as i have started this thread to late

 

Quality m8. ill keep my eyes on this 1

You keeping the cage ??

 

You'll find out in time mate

 

 

Top Car that!!

And its about time you did a thread!!

 

That looks the nuts in silver

 

First things first, i had to get rid of the leather seats. I wanted to go for a pair of proper motorsport seats.

So i went for some Corbeau Revolutions in black


Had to buy side mounts first




Took the leather out and gave it a quick hoover






Whacked the seats in with the harness' Look i think






Hope you like

 

Car looks lovely, needs ambers on the front though!

Sorry but the seats are horrid, not because they are in your car, they just are!

Will be a step up from the leather stuff if your tracking it though!

 

Very nice mate


Brian

 

Seats are in there for a purpose mate

 

its about time you got some pictures up! love this car

 

Im going to keep updating this quickly to catch up on everything thats been done so far

Hows your KA going ben?

 

looks stunning

 

Seats are awesome ,but i would say that

 

looks wicked dude

 

Cheers people

 

Anyway next thing on the list was to get rid of the shiney wheels and put some proper motorsport wheels on

I went with 16x7 Comp mo's with Yokohama Paradas

 

Yeah I know fella, hence why I mentioned track use mate

Love the Comps by the way, look great!

 

Lovely looking car so far, seats are super cool

so comfy too..... many a time i have sat in the garage and nodded off

 

I was using them when playing playstation before they went in the car

 

Looks awesome on the comps ,and have to agree i find my seat much more comfy than the recaro

 

looking good dude

 

Havent had a proper drive with the seats in yet, as the engine is out

Im itching for it to be finnished

 

Next up i bought a T34 to replace the hybrid t3 that was already on it.

 

Looks lovely in silver. Love the seats too!

 

Gracias

 

Wheels suit the car

T34. You know it makes sense

 

 

Ok, then it was time to take the engine out.

I started by stripping the front end then got the head off and all the other bits and bobs i could without using a engine hoist.

 

looks awsome!!!

 

lookin good mate how much did you pay for buckets

 

Too much

 

ah i see out of my price range but there are lots of other buckets available i can get.wot do you recon on buying that s1 kit togo on my s2

 

 

Ordered a Newmans ZVH Cam, solid lifters double valve springs and cap.

Should be with me on Monday, then got to put it all in another box with my stripped down head and send it all off to a certain Ian. I think his company is called Area Six?

 

getting there now then mate

 

what was wrong with the old lump in it?

 

Would of been too much work to push 300bhp from a 1.6

So decided to cheat by starting with a 2.1

Waiting for a box full of ARP fastnings to come soon

 

This not finished yet???

Come on billy, you spend to much time on here when you should be in the garage working on it!

 

Sorry sir
