Future Plans

Right now i have a few things floating around in my head of what i would like to do to my car in the future.

Exterior

  • Kei Office – Sideskirts
  • Border Vent extentions
  • Border Spats
  • Tarting up, removing stone chips etc
Interior
  • FIA racing seat(s)
  • 4 point harness
  • Weight saving
Engine
  • Nitrous Anti-lag system
  • Lightened flywheel
  • Uprated clutch
  • Uprated fuel pump

Most of this will be done as and when parts become available for the right price.

New Bulbs and Lenses


i have added chrome bulbs to all the front indicators so that they dont look like fried eggs, and fitted clear lenses to the side indicators.

(ha ha, although this picture still has the amber bulb in)

More Bumper

Well, i think i am done filling and sanding, so i did a trial fit, and its not good, i havent changed anything, but the bolts dont seem to line up very well. some are well off, not my fault, i think the bumper was just made badly...


I also got the new wing mirrors that are going to replace the indicators, i think they look ok, just need to make sure that the glass is at the right angle to get all the possible coverage i need.


still lots to do, but its getting closer.


I also cut the under tray out, i just need to work out how to stop it from flexing in the wind, i have a bad feeling that it might

Bumper

Well, you may remember me saying when i got the car that i needed to either fix the bumper or buy a new one. well the other week i hit a speed bump and smashed it even more, so, money being tight i have decided to fix it myself.





i have been trying to find Ferrari style mesh for a long time now, but can not seem to find it in metal or in large enough sheets. I was looking to get Lambo style mesh (hex) but that ended up going no where either. so i have just used some mesh that i had bought a while ago. i have painted it black and lacquered it, so it should do the trick.

I have actually beveled the edge of the mesh out from the bumper like a speaker grill, i think it adds a little more to the look.

The pattern is the wrong way around on one piece, so i had to remake it :(

Its been a while

Well, its been a long time since i last posted anything on this blog, mainly because i havent done anything to my car. But since the spring i have taken the car on holiday..

To Le Mans! it was a great drive down with the cars all stickered up, plenty of burnouts and donuts, and a speeding ticket too :)
