Haggi any chance of some close ups of that gear surround? Where was it purchased from? might solve a little problem on mine if its a snug enough fit.

looks great now with the spoiler, you need to get the car lowered a tad now and i think some turbo splitters would suit that really well

looking forward to seeing the lights black

Yeh loads better now. I would have been lower if you didn't sell my suspension lol. Not a big fan of the turbo splitters really i prefer the cupra one. Lights are to do over the winter so i have the fun of splitting them again.

I bought a new car cover from halfords for £54 the other day to help with the protection from the weather we have to come this winter.

[haggi961]

A couple more updates and also that bit closer to the 300bhp sc vx i want. Ive just received my parts from America which are Eagele conrods, Wiseco pistons, APR head studs, Blower camshafts, Supertech valves springs, Gm racing valve spring kit.


Also got my plastic cam cover


And turbo vents which are for helping with cooling.


I also have a F23 Gearbox with 4.17 differential but haven't got any pictures atm.

Sorry for the crap picture quality as iv just got a new phone so cant work the setting on it.

Nice stuff you have there, I'm currently buying all that stuff! Well except the gearbox, where did you get it from if you don't mind me asking? And of course how much was it? Cheers

I've never read this thread before - good work your car looks nice and tidy. Are you going from standard to a C.300bhp/short ratio gb? Best take it easy on that first it'll be just a smidgen faster

Cheers, and yeah pretty much standard so will be a massive jump up and will have to give myself time to get used to it. I it should just be a little faster

Just received my front clam louvers/vents today all thanks to robin.

[haggi961]

Right some more updates. My battery was on its way out as its a few year old now so i bought a new one from performance batteries at a cheap price of £39.95 delivered. Wasn't to bad to fit i didn't think as my last battery had a handle.



I bought a sc badge of chrisvx220 for £21.50 thanks again for sorting this out.


Also received my braided hel brake line kit from ebay £35 delivered and my oil filter gaskets from autovaux


Got some new td wheels 17/16 combo rapped in toyo proxes T1-R

[haggi961]

Iv got some better pictures now of my engine parts and turbo vents as last time my camera wasnt working properly.





Got my v sprayed in the same color as my spoiler.


Next on the list was to sort my lights out for the final time. So started of with standard N/A lights, so first thing first was to spray them black like the turbo lights,

[haggi961]

Then i resealed them with tiger seal so they were 100% water tight. I also cut up a length of pipe and tiger sealed them into where the clusters are at the back of the lights and pointed the pipes downwards so water couldn't travel up them but the lights could breath, also the same idea to what the front lights are,



Next was to fit the lamin-x tinting film that i bought from there website which isn't cheap stuff really but worth it i think. I got the film fitted by a professional so i didn't make a mess of it. The film has stayed down quite good but theres a couple areas on the edge were its messed up, so i came up with the idea to stick black tape around the edges to hide the defects which i can hardly see with the tape hiding them.

[haggi961]

And some pictures of the lights fitted to my car.
