Been doing the other halfs head in so far this week of what i need and want for it haha
Is it a BIG list? s;-) ;-) s;-)
Quote from: "StuC"Is it a BIG list? s;-) ;-) s;-)
If its like mine, it started off with a few things. Then I got to thinking while I'm doing X I may as well replace/refurb Y as well and then it snowballed from there
Yeah, that happens A LOT on here! s:lol: :lol: s:lol: s:lol: :lol: s:lol:
Like most car projects then, only doing couple bits escalates quick! Couple bits to sort before any fun stuff begins i reckon.
Had some new tyres fitted - just gone for the toyo t1rs
(225 40 16) they will do for now till i decide wheel options.
Anyway whilst i was there we decided to fit the intake i used to use on swift as the one on the car was way to small

Big thanks to carl at raven blast cleaning for helping do this.
Got the car back today!
Subframe repaired and powdercoated red
Rear arms and ARB blasted and powdercoated red and black
Polybushes fitted on all arms and arb
Rear mesh grill - need to finish the upper one.
Custom made decat exhaust ( oh my it sounds incredible btw ) comes out upper centre of mesh in middle of bumper just for that little bit different look.
Booked in for full tracking at noble on chesterfield this week
All work was carried out at raven blast cleaning and i just got in the way here n there
Enjoy some pics s:) :) s:)

Hi, belated welcome, UF0 looks fantastic, and thanks for advice this weekend s:bowdown: :bowdown: s:bowdown: All that work looks pretty much what my top priorities should probably be right now, and I'd like to have it done by people who're familiar with the car/whats involved/done it before. Mind me asking roughly what kind of costs were involved? (pm me if you don't want to post (or tell me to mind my own business!))
Costs are a funny one as i had a friend do the welding/shot blasting etc on the subframe and arms so im not sure if that would be the normal rate.
Same guy welded exhaust together aswell i just sourced the parts which was around £200 but i bought a little to much and came up with the idea of it going the non traditional route
So i know thats a bit vague but the price i paid may vary as it is his business if that makes sense and im not sure of the rates for labour etc and timescale we did it all over a 4 day weekend.
Polybushes are a pretty standard price where ever you go
I think they roughly came to £180 for the rear end and whilst everything was off i thought it may aswell be done, Not having to worry about it again then, i just need to do the fronts done eventually amongst everything else i want to do....
Never put a picture with black grill
Just needs crash bar spraying black behind it
Also doing some black mesh for the vent on the bonnet

Have you noticed the way the exhaust pokes out further the harder you rev it?[emoji23][emoji23]

Have you got a link for the diffuser please? How does it fit? Does it just replace the nappy?

how come youve gone back to rear inserts instead of the mesh?
just out of curiosity.

Mesh was only a temporary solution , but it never sat straight as the bar round the edge wasnt thick enough, so i just put the originals back in till i come up with a solution.
