C12HLL's BB8

[C12HLL]

Finally managed to motivate myself to give the car a good clean today.



Still needs work to get to what I want it to be but it's a work in progress.

Wheels will be getting powder coated but trying to find another set of wheels that can go on while the motegi's get refurbed.

Now more pics:



Will be keeping this thread updated as the car gets better,

The car looks tidy enough, apart form a few wee bits. She is an H22a8 yeah?

Excellent base car!!

[C12HLL]

Yeh she is an A8.

The new exhaust from @vanzep was in the boot. Hopefully getting it fitted this week after finding out the decat and everything was the right size. Just need to modify the backbox bracket and get it on.

Was going to get an induction kit but the Type S intake seems to be the favoured option from what i've read.

She has already been lowered on springs and a full service including timing belt and everything done since i've had it.

Have you laid the exhaust out underneath the car to comapre? The H22a8 has a uniquely sized exhaust and there may be a difference in the midpipe length.

[C12HLL]

Yeh I laid it out underneath and flange to flange is the same length.

I think the exhaust on my car has been messed with before as its been extended at the join between the backbox and centre sections.

Will have it up in the air tomorrow for an oil change and to get the exhaust fitted.

Exhaust is fitted and @vanzep it is a bit loud.

Anyways more pics:

Exhaust looks good, A tiny bit big in my opinion but good overall.

How does it handle after you got the wheel alignment done?
