Dan@Rapid-Ford 24-09-2007 01:00 PM

been playing with the front suspension on the esc as I wasn't getting enough lock and I think I've got a bit more now - not sure if its the width of the tyres making it look like more but I'll see how it goes.

I was by myself and couldn't hold the steering and take the photo the steering wouldn't sit at FULL lock so theres a little bit more turn available.

Whenever you pop over mate:top: or I'll tell you the next day and you can come up (bring some tyres :cry:)

Didn't really go all out as it was very frustrating and a replay of when I took my saff on a driftday 6 or 7 years ago when it had a std diff, apart from I didn't collect a dent on the door ;-) :cry:

It was Boxxer off here and I had a marshel in the car to give me some pointers which was "yeah you've got the idea right but the car is not having it":cry::cry:

I've got something in mind to try to see if it makes it any better ;-) or worse :cry::cry:

I've got some videos of the day if you want to see them?

I've pulled my finger out to do a few more bits on the car got some 83lbs Siemans from Diva :top::top: and finally modded my crank pully for 36>1 trigger wheel:content:

I've moved the battery to the boot I didn't want to but space is tight under the bonnet:oops:

I've flocked some of the interior

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/08...g/DSC09991.jpg

And finally I've had this in mind for a while so I photoshopped a few ideas I'll prob go just for the blk bonnet but will get the lot done after I've done a few more bits.........................what do you think???






http://img.photobucket.com/albums/08...twstripjpg.jpg
the line down the front will go around the lights and finish at the number plate

That was the original plan matt black but I think the 2 tone works with the wheels, carbon, etc

another thought was total black would worry driving at night with the idiot drivers about:roll::cry:

cheers:king:

I really like the Allen Mann style of colours on Mk1 but 1 would look wrong in the same colour and 2 I'm not willing to do a colour change but this would be easier and be a bit of a off shoot IMO :grin:

I will have a chat with the painter will get the bonnet done first and get the carbon vents ordered soonish:DD:

Charlie Chalk 27-04-2008 02:26 AM

Do the whole car satin black!

Dan@Rapid-Ford 02-05-2008 08:56 PM
