drifty norwegian S14 build: the saga begins (potential modem killer thread) - Page 4 - Drifting forum

Lillegud, you have PM

a spraybottle filled with red spirits, white spirits and thinner, all mixed in equal parts. use a active coalfilter mask, latex gloves and a bag of rags.

you can save a lot of money when you are patient. why buy a kit for £1400 when you can get one for under half the price when you just know it'll be smashed anyway? besides you get more practise using fiberglass when getting a cheap kit.
it's also quite interesting getting everything right.

but thanks for the comments, sometimes i feel like i'm wrighting a diary

ealoken · 15-08-2007, 08:21

youre not writing a diary, yore just writing down where all your money is walking

smokey · 15-08-2007, 08:30

oh yeah, hehe. that's right. no wonder i still live at home

smokey · 20-08-2007, 00:21

well, here is todays updates.

i picked up my new rear window from lillegud on friday

not much done last night, and today i made the braket for the dta p8pro brain, and for the bvc to sit on in my new center console.

mouwt · 21-08-2007, 04:52

Nice picture! I agree with what you say about kits but i'd still like a fibreglass one to somewhere near a fit! Im just not going to fit a kit on my car! Spare cars are where its at!
Thanks for the info on the cleaning 'agents'!

LilleGud · 28-08-2007, 15:24

i don't know how it is yet, cause i'm not putting it in until i've resprayed the car.

don't need a hood since i've bought louise' hood, but i'm thinking about the headlights. but i need a new radiator before i can buy them, but i'll let you know

What an excellent project I'm loving it big style!

What BHP is that engine pushing out lol??

smokey · 02-09-2007, 22:15

thanks griffo.
that engine is a lightweight, super secret creation. pusing out an unlimited amount of power. i just unscrew the lid to get more boost

PeterT · 02-09-2007, 23:00

vid of bus diffing please! ahha

smokey · 16-09-2007, 10:32

what have i done...?

well, i've been talking to my best friend that's helping me build the car, and i had a little talk to lillegud too last night, and well...

i'm taking it to the next level.

out with the original fan

out with the original wireloom

when it's all out, it'll be a custom wireloom and a golf mk1 fan insted.
who knows? i might be getting a little more fun stuff for my car too since i'll have the whole winter to get it ready...

LilleGud · 16-09-2007, 11:03

!

That's the way to go !

smokey · 16-09-2007, 11:05

thanks lillegud

i'll be having your cell by the way

LilleGud · 16-09-2007, 11:21

nice.

smokey · 30-09-2007, 02:39

well, not much to say, exept that i hate sound-deadening, but now it's gone

today i've been fitting the new heater.

i found it in my best mates pile, and after i started cutting into it it with a hacksaw i asked if it was okay that i took it

quite pleased with the results

it's even fittet properly

coming tomorrow:
fitting the new bucket seat

smokey · 02-10-2007, 00:16

well, some odd jobs finished today.

ignition panel

thought it'd look cool there

and the new seat is in place. sabelt racer duo (wide load edition)

and so is the brain for the engine managment system

LiGhTnInG · 02-10-2007, 01:08

good updates fella.

whens the engine back?

SWR · 07-10-2007, 22:29

When I get the parts properly sorted (done),get the setup right (done) and get the too-much hp Cossie engine project and Audi-headed Volvo partially out of the way...I really need a bigger shop...

Hope you'll never try having pinched nerves in your hands/arms,makes porting etc. a true hell. You cramp up and get numb in no time.. They are the main reason Smokey's engine has taken so much time. But,it's coming... BTW,I'm the engine guy.
