best thing is he just painted over the damn thing,someone asked about the badge being black,he just said he wanted a black badge so just rollered over the thing!ive seen someone do this to a metro (but he went over the rear windows too! ) very funny to watch!get the dulux out steve!

Stavros

I was speaking to my old dear about it last night as shes a bit of a decorating/painting expert, and she reckoned with this thing she got i could get a quite decent look.

Trip to B+Q over the weekend then i think

Hoping my front mounted intercooler kit would arrive today but no sign of it
My bucket seat was also posted yesterday so hoping that is waiting for me when i get home.

Ive pulled a feckin muscle in my right shoulder so its gonna be a fuker working on the car this weekend...

big_wig_074

I love these things Steve. The first time I used one in anger was infront of about 100 people on a hairpin, I have it on video somewhere. I donuted round 5 times, they're just soooooooo on or off. Every car should have one!
Love it!

Stavros

Yea, thats the bit im looking forward to the most Andy!

And yea, i fully expect to spin a lot of times, it was hard enough getting used to kicking the clutch and not spinning it- using weight transfer to initiate i was used to, and let Kenny drive my car and was initiating drifts with clutch kicks with so little effort it was unbelivable, so i did it, and the car just went right round almost on the spot

Need to countersteer even before youve done it, and the handbrake is gonna be the same i think

datar18

fly off hand brakes are the tits!!

mate Nev has one in his volvo, as you say, they are either on or off, proper quality when your flat out into a bend head on and then a quick yank on the hand brake its flat out sideways and dialling in the wheel spin to the drift!!

Nice Ebay special Intercooler Steve!!!

No, seriously, they are a damn nice kit for the money.

Stavros

Indeed, why pay 5 times the amount for a Jap badge when others make just as good kit.

Fook that

BTW, no pics, but we did more work, me n dan (fudgeass) cracked on with it on sunday, reconneced the hyro clutch, dan made some new brake pipes, i removed the front bumper, rebolted the gearbox mounts, the loom, shit like that, close now to working, possibly...

Stavros

No prob Dan, youve helped loads with the car so glad i can help you
PMSL@the mondeo tho

My bucket seat arrived today! (cheers IMA! )

Only 60quid delivered inc base mounts (2nd hand of course, but still cheap).
Shame the fucking elivery people just dumped it on the drive behind one of my cars as nobody was home but still...

I need to get the glue out as the rubbery bit around one of the harness holes has came away, but barring that tis spot on

Was told it was very light, and when I saw it it was obvious why, and im sure you can see from the side and rear pics why too...







Nice n comfy too, some people must be a whole lot fatter than me if they have trouble with seats like this

fookin hell, kevlar seat for Ł60

bargain!

Paul Eggleton

Quality seat Steve, I'd personally get it retrimmed though, yellow looks a bit IMO

Know what you mean about the sizes. I thought I'd need a GT version until I sat in one. It was a fucking arm chair

Stavros

Dan, yeah, fookin kevlar

Paul, aye, yellow aint the best, but unless i can change the colour for almost free, it will have to stay

Stavros

Went down Pauls on Sat to see my GTR, and he has what must be the best S13 in the UK down there...



Fookin awesome looking, 2.2 and over 500bhp too

big_wig_074

oooh like the s13,except the rear bumper,sticks out sideways,i hate that. really like the spoiler tho,where do i get one?hmmmm....
u jammy fucker with the seat,where u get that?driftworks?

James-W

Looking good Stevie Wonder.
Plucked up the courage to buy redline to look at the r33 and it looks really well.
You decided against painting it matt black?

Stavros

Greg- The seat came off PassionFord, from IMA

JHW- Yeah, i still gonna matt black it.

smithy20vt

Looks like it all coming together any new pics of it with the Cooler on??

mfafa

DO you have a videocamera? Cool as fuck this car is.

What kind of figures do you think it puts out?

edit: a bit embarrassed that my first post here is in this non-ford thread.. hehe

James-W

Its Jay or James mate.
I need to blag a ride with you at a show or something.

Stavros

Ok Jay
And yeah, no prob mate

Not yet mate, not done anything to the car lately, no time.
Gonna go on a bit of a mission with it tomorrow to get it running again (just needs brakes bleeding etc, nowt much) and then depending on time might fit it then.
If not it dont matter, main thing is to get it running so can drive it down to Bath so i got somewhere inside i can work on it day or night, rain or shine.
THEN it will really come on fast

No video camera, but its high on by to-buy list, i got sooo much highly illegal street drifting that needs filming, lol

Figures? I dunno, not loads to be honest, 250odd with the intercooler etc on?

Dont need power really, just a good suspension n diff setup to drift, and lots of bottle, lol.
Want about 300-330bhp in near future, but mainly torque and instant responce, thats most important.

m.d.

i loved my s13, shame it spent more time being fixed rather than being driven, and every time i planted it, it just felt like it was going to go bang

smithy20vt

[quote="Itsmeagain"]Fair enough mate at least its a but more reliable than Fudges shed lol Guess he ll be blagginh some help on another engine fit

OvaBoost

Just need a nice flat tourqe curve
Coming along well!

edd

you wont get 250 out of a standard t25 steve, or did you t28 it?

Dan

Aint looked in a while Steve but all coming along nicely fella!

I found a stunning pic the other day of a 200sx, i'll dig it out to give you some inspiration!

Stavros

Me n greg got new enigne running again earlier, properly sweet it is, motor is quiet as fuck

We will finish the job 2moz then il drive it down to the workshop n get properly cracking with it.

Got soe serious engine mods to go on, but its blatantly not needed, its all about the setup n the skills, 200 odd is just fine with the right motor.

But still, got stuff to do

CosworthHead

shame its not a ford but still cool

RichardPON

Be interested how you get on with that XS Power intercooler.

There's fookin huge debate raging on the MR2 boards about these - usual Jap only lot saying, "No Greddy must be best cos it costs most" etc....

Looks like good kit for the money.......

Jamz

That cooler looks suspiciously similar to mine although not XS Power branded and doesn't have the center bracket.



Bargin at Ł100 new from eBay They seem to be made by these lot --> http://www.carparts.com.hk/heatexchange.htm

James

Stavros

PON- They dicks as usual, loads of people use them now and they are the bollocks, its proper Bar n Plate too, way more efficient than Tube n Fin.
Let em get on with it.

Jamz- Yup, thats the same ones, and GTC are selling them as their own too- www.linney.org/GTCpartscooling.htm bet they charging about 800quid for em too.

James-W

Steve I think Nick Lewis (NIL) runs one of these intercoolers on his saph cossie I may be wrong.
Are you really supercharging it like compund or was that a joke.
BTW Als Golf is he 'The Gangster'?

Avinitlarge

I had an 3 S13's a few years ago, One for spares, A std one and a tuned up one with 280bhp at the wheels, I loved it but my mrs didnt so I had to sell it after 3 weeks

big_wig_074

the car moved of its own accord today! its ready to rock and roll!steves gonna put on the hydraulic handbrake etc in the week i think then the front bumper and indicators,but its physically up for the job!oh yeah!
