Peden · 15-04-2007, 22:41

Love these cars!! Drove mine on the road fora few months with no front bumper just cause i LOVE IT!! Drove the missus mad though!!

Here's mine.. Have nearly all the shiney bits to make it look pretty, but considering leaving it as it quite possibly should be......

/Peden

gaz_moose · 16-04-2007, 11:22

coolio.yea il finnish it off for you when i do mine in about 2 weeks in gods workshop.

TaxiDori · 16-04-2007, 11:49

You could just get some wider wings to cover the unpretty too if you're that bothered but I doubt you are. Reminds me of how Dougs rear quarter used to look.

chunk · 18-04-2007, 11:30

Im not that fussed tbh Nic, it still needs a small amount of tweaking to be spot on, then i'll clag the uneven parts and prime it. I'm looking at having the rear 1/2 to 1/3rd of the car done in a satin black vynil wrap so i can then but my sponsors logo's on there

Plus it saves repainting the rear 1/4 every time a tyre pops at 60mph haha!!

MJG · 18-04-2007, 12:44

I'll smash it for you Chunk, then you can hundred on OvErFEnDARRRS.

Been really lazy and not updated the project thread for a while so..........

Interior is more stripped, about 40% of the sound deadening is out, i sooo hate this job!.....

Performance wise, i've fitted a FMIC that i bought secondhand with half the pipework missing, so i managed to get some bits via Japspeed (cheers paul) to make up the set...........

We fitted a new Jasma cat back 3" system and also fitted was a Japspeed turbo elbow/downpipe. I really cant believe the difference this makes to the spool up and how more revvy the engine feels, well worth buying i tells yer........

While i was doing bits to the front, i thought id have to go with a GTR bumper, mainly as my stock Gtst bumper was being held together with loads of zip ties and witch craft!

Along with the S14a lower arms, it now has fitted some tein HR coilovers, which has certainly improved the stiffness and the response of the chassis, giving the taxi a much superior feel in corners. Also fitted was a cusco front strut brace.

The taxi is also booked into fabricage to get a 7 point cage with door bars fitted before Round 4 of the eurodrift series

cant wait to compete for the 1st time

On another note, i'd personally like to thanks, MJG, Gaz Moose, ZworX and my local mates that have helped me get to where the car is now. Still a fair bit to do though boys hahah!
