FIT THEM!

Post by **vanzep** » Sat Apr 20, 2013 5:21 pm

OK im hoping to get some new alloys later on today - theyve got 205/50/16 tyres on them so i could swap the tyres over onto the PIAA's

as i cant afford to splash out on new tyres at the moment. The new wheels are OZ Utra or Super leggys i think - i bought them off gumtree and havent seen them yet

Quick update:
The front connection to my alternator sheared off - only found this out when i noticed the el dials had gone dead when i was driving along - pulled into a petrol station - found the brioken connection - stripped the wire and wound it round the connection as a temporary fix - got home and then @Indigolemon came over and helped put a new terminal on.
I noticed also the main loom off the rocker cover to the alternator was looking a bit mashed up so i bought some nitro tape and fixed that - car seems to be running a lot better

So gave it quick clean.

next up fix the back box so it sits a bit lower and refit the wings west back lip

cheers Dbo but i cant claim much credit-the ludes had a major facelift inside and out and most of the parts came from off other ludes as follows:

Front bumper - Bri
CF Bonnet - Bri
Sideskirts - Rob
Front Wings - Dino
Passenger door - Dino (still to be fitted)
Red&Black Interior - Bri

All ive done it fix them all up as best i can and fit them

Still its been a lot of work and i guess most of i have done isnt visible as its all suspension,handling and breathing

I did more than wash the car - i cut back some areas with G3 and then G10 cutting compound then Machine Glaze polish.

yeah ive had a few different exhausts on the car - must admit i liked the last powerflow system but when the hytech replica came up for sale i couldnt pass it up - problem is im still having trouble getting the new back box to sit properly but its too tight up against the rear lca so im going to have to modify it or find another back box

Im hoping to have the PIAA's on for the meet at Falkirk Wheel on the 28th.

Hee

when you strip hole the dynamo cable

it is long enough to put it off the side of the engine

I love the spoon lip, somehow, the replica ones on ebay dont look as good.
Car looks the biz mate.
