My solenoid is there and seems unmelted and intact .. heat shield isn't though
So the previous owner stripped out the interior in favour of the cage. Since I've butchered the arches up for the overfenders, the road noise is just ridiculous so I decided to put it back in (he chucked it in free of charge) I've also rammed the arches full of Cosywrap insulation
Tricky getting it around the cage:
Hard to get a pic but much, much better now. Road noise has reduced dramatically. Job well done!
Also, fitted my eBay bargain rear strut brace:
Saw that last pic on fb lol looks awesome!
Yeh was taken by a guy called Ryan
looking good mate!! what spec are your wheels?? and do you have spacers on??
Update:
Finally got round to binning the smelly old fake suede steering wheel and got myself a nice new Ltd. edition genuine OMP Corsica in leather. So nice!
Also, picked up a cheap black leather interior to replace the horrible cream. Much better:
The flexi in the downpipe had a nasty split in it so I bought a new one and had a mate weld it in. Unfortunately, we didn't weld it bang on and now the system is fouling on the underside and not ideal. So I bit the bullet and bought a new Japspeed super low twin downpipe. Nice piece of metal and also helps with the ground clearance I need now. Fitting tomorrow:
Also, found out the knocking coming from the rear was the diff. Put a new one on, job done!!
Strong work on sbod
Has the downpipe come with gaskets and fittings?
Yes sir!
New parts look ace, top work bro
Been a while since I've updated! The exhaust system is now all completed. Ended up converting to full S14 system to fit everything in.
Pic of my homemade gearbox mount:
I then riveted the overfenders on and dropped the car in for paint:
Nice!!
Car was MOT'd
Did a little more work on the fitment. Rear is now sitting an effective ET-5
Also, paid Nath a visit and picked up some R33 Brembos, discs and DS2500 pads:
Decided to give them a quick clean up, just awaiting new fluid and should be fitting this weekend
Gave all three of my cars a quick blast with some Meguiars Hyper Wash
and now, this is how she looks currently
Thanks for reading
Nice to see you the other day dude! Cars looking super now with the fenders/wings painted up. Nice work on the brakes too
Cheers man. Yes, overfenders and front wings are fibreglass
Car is looking great, where did you buy the Overfenders from?
Love this thing, it looks gorgeous dude! Seeing the photos from the Bonded Warehouse makes me mad homesick!
