Beezy · 04-06-2007, 22:16

really good mate, nice project! keep it up

smokey · 05-06-2007, 00:57

thanks guys
i've parked in the middle of bloody nowhere, and to my surprize, i got a network connection, and it makes sleeping in my HGV that little better seeing that people like what they see

of the car that is

Graham · 05-06-2007, 01:56

would it not be better with no door cards or is it a regulation that you must have them ?

smokey · 05-06-2007, 22:08

doesn't say anywhere that they have to be there, but i think it looks better for one thing, and it's not all that comfortable banging my arm straight in the door.

smokey · 08-06-2007, 17:57

santa came early this year

check out my big, pink throbbing monster

i ordered it a while ago, but it took a while for it to come. it's the W9 body kit.
but i won't be putting on this year, since i'm gonna learn how to drift, so it'll be too expencive to buy a new kit every time i smash it

smez · 10-06-2007, 23:42

hey why dident I know about this?

smokey · 11-06-2007, 03:18

did i forget to tell you?

ealoken · 11-06-2007, 06:01

no guts no glory, you cant leave all that "plastic fantastic" at home while your going of track, ill show you the learning of building bumpers

smokey · 17-06-2007, 13:09

well then. last night i was trying to fit the bodykit, and what a load of crap. i think it was made by drunk monkeys. i have to cut and reshape with fiber all over the place

but it's not impossible. so don't worry erik, i'll be fitting it

i'll post some pics later of it

edit:
this is what it's supposed to look like. but i opted for not having the front canards

smokey · 17-06-2007, 23:47

todays plodding on. had a massive headache, so couldn't be bothered to do much exept this

and gave it a little paint, and mounted the gauges. well, tested them atleast

i can live with this

and started chipping away the sound deadening. love every second of it, but due to headache, didn't do more than one mat before i packed it in and went home for a sleep.

sparks · 18-06-2007, 17:45

Awesome work!!! Great thread , enjoying the build keep us updated!

Cheers Sparks

smokey · 26-06-2007, 22:07

thanks sparks. i'm guessing you'll love this update then

well, the frontbumper didn't fit too well, so we

and the job everybody loves

and more goodies

starting to take shape

but.. it had to happen..

a beam dropped and smashed the window and dented the back wing. luckily not the BGW.
anybody got a rear window?

smokey · 09-07-2007, 11:12

not much of an update today, cause things are going slow.

doing the job everybody hates.

add elbow grease

and some homemade chemicals

and wipe off

and it ends up like this.

i know the last pic is of the floor, and the others are of the rear wall, but i ran out of power, so i didn't get to take any more pics

adam0bmx0 · 09-07-2007, 13:31

Did you get you rear bumber from replikit.co.uk?

What is the fit of the rear bumber like as i was thinking of getting that one, got any more pics from the rear?

It's looking good!

Adam

smokey · 11-07-2007, 00:02

nah, i bought the bodykit from bsbildeler.no, a norwegian company. it's not the best fit, but it's not hopeless for somebody that's a little handy with fiberglass.

the front bumper had to be cut in two, and shortened by nearly 2". the rear bumper needs to have the sides under the rear lights forced out a little somehow and where the rearbumper meets the arch it has to be let out a little. same with the sideskirts. the arches have to be let out a little.
i'll get some pics of the rear this weekend for you. any requests on what you want to see?

cheers

Driftmania · 11-07-2007, 08:49

Looking good! I'm looking forward to see this car on the track..
Where in Norway do you live?

smokey · 13-07-2007, 00:57

thanks mate. i can't wait to see it on the track either.
but since i'm away 4 days a week, things aren't going too fast. but it's getting there

i live in enebakk, 20km from lillestrøm.

smokey · 05-08-2007, 13:03

sorry for the lack of updates lately, but i've been building a stereo in my gf's car the last few weeks, so i haven't done anything with my car. BUT...
i've got engine pics

nice and clean

cylinders bored and honed, milled the top

sideview

ported coolant channels

ported waterpump housing, to aviod cavitation

close up

and another close up

so that's the latest. i'll be starting next weekend again, so hopefully more pics then.

cheers
