Vtecred's sparkle yellow lude.

Post by vtecred » Thu Oct 23, 2014 11:25 am

Hey every one
Decided to start a journal on my car.
Progress will be slow no lie there but will be progress none the less.

I'm from a wee place called bellshill in lanarkshire hope to meet some people from the forum.

The car is a 99 auto (hoping to convert to manual)
107000 miles full service history
Extras including heated seats
Sitting on penta alloys the now looking for motegi alloys if anyone knows then give me a shout cheers.

Good luck with the manual swap. If you want an M2P4 manual gearbox on the cheap give me a shout as I have one sitting spare.

Hey merlin,
Don't suppose you happen to have all the bits needed for the conversion as well as the gearbox?

TBH you'd probably be best buying cheap car just to get all of the bits off it.

That's one option. It makes it easy to answer 'where does that go', but on the other hand you do then have twice the labour and then a broken car to dispose of after :lol:

I would have sold you the full conversion kit off my breaker for £150 +postage, but I don't have it all now (mr pea bought most of it, minus the gearbox/clutch/flywheel which he already had)
So hopefully you should be able to find the same somewhere else for around the same money.

UPDATE**

I've removed the crappy drl's that were on the car and also the shitty rear mudguards car looks a lot cleaner now.
Now I'm searching for a good set of motegi alloys to set the car off may keep the pentas but ill paint them.

Also the square front plate that came with car blew off in the windy weather we had the other day so I replaced it with a ukdm plate.
