My car is know as the Yellow Peril, a name given to it by my Mrs's Nan whilst drunk in a Chinese restaurant. Yes she did bark that name across the table at the top of her voice
The car was totally standard when I bought it except for a naff induction kit which was swiftly replaced with an ITG which didn't last long
I will no doubt forget some things and have to keep adding to the list but here goes.
Exterior mods:
De-badged rear
Chopped front V, colour coded but currently wrapped in matt black
LY/VXR windscreen and surround (wish I'd have gone for a heated one but didn't realise this was available at the time)
Blended Customania louvres over front arches (the ARE functional too)
Tubby ears
Tubby rear spoiler
Seat Leon Cupra front splitter
Satin black TD 1.2s (with Lotus wheel centers - controversial but the colour matches!)
Black wheel bolts
RSG black annodised fuel filler cap and surround
Smoked indicators
Full front end HID conversion
Ariel removal
Tubbified lights front and rear
Flat wiper blade with inbuilt washer jets
Elise/exige door mirrors
Colour coded hard top which I love the look of but prefer to be topless when the weather permits
Interior mods:
Alacantara trimmed dash plates, center console, door cards and handle surrounds
Metal H gate
MOMO gear knob
Shortened shifter
Full carpet set
Head unit replacement with hardwired iPod connection
Additional 12v power supply in center console
Harness bar
OMP harnesses
Custom composite seats with exterior colour coded leather pads
Polished gearstick, window winders and handbrake lever
eBay jobbie polished alloy indicator stalks
Fire extinguisher mounted under pax seat
Cup holder painted black
Headrest removal
Handling mods:
GAZ Gold Pro coil overs with 475 front and 550 rear springs (needing a geo)
Yokohama AO48 LTS tyres
Quick rack (PITA!!! )
Performance mods:
Stage 2.5 supercharger conversion (the .5 being the duel pass mod and large pro alloy pre rad with large header tank apparently)
Triple pass race radiator
Cool running thermostat
Larini backbox
Larini de-cat pipe with magnaflow 100 cell high flow street racer cat welded in
Uprated organic composite clutch
Lightened billet flywheel
Close ratio gearbox
Short shifter
Uprated polly engine mounts
Lots of weight stripping (including dieting!)
Planned mods as and when time and £££ allows:
Rear diffuser (undecided as to which one but swaying towards an MMG short a la Nelly!)
Full non-Vaux engine swap with...
Wiseco pistons (low compression)
Eagle H-beam steel rods
Supercharger Comp Cams
Balance delete
different vaux crank
different ECU
3" exhaust
HARROP supercharger!!!
Possibly an even closer ratio gearbox but it might be getting a bit silly by that point!
I blame Joe for this list
I'm definitely more of a driver than a polisher but I'll get some pictures up this weekend after a good polish.
Thank you to so many people on this site for helping me spend my hard earned cash, fit parts and to a special few who have become very good friends
This picture was taken at the National last year in Anglesey. I didn't actually track the car there (and never have... YET!) it was just taken on the photo lap It is a bit out of date now, the main difference being the car no longer looks like it is on stilts!
