  2. Thanks guys :smile: Some info on Fender braces J's Racing inner fender brace provides chassis reinforcement between the joint of the car's front engine section and mid c**kpit section. Typically, the greatest strength of the car's chassis will be low, concentrated in the frame. As we move up the chassis, we find there is less reinforcement, especially at the fender area, where the forward section and mid section of the car are joined by a few spot welds. Consequently, under hard braking and cornering there is a great amount of flex and twist at the fender area. The J's Racing fender brace reduces this flexing and the sloppy steering response associated with it. Chassis rigidity is increased noticeably and turn in response is significantly crisper and faster.

  8. Nice! Yeah any new wheel you buy the place will send out appropriate rings if needed! That's why they ask what car they're for!

  10. properly gutted. that set off a bit of a dodgy car history - 1.6 J reg cavilier with the best reg ever (J460 CUM) which I found didn't have an air filter in when I went to change it... explains the clouds of black smoke that used to belch out of it! in the end it got scrapped because of the longest MOT fail list ever (they had to write on the back of the sheet). next up was a 1.4 pug 306 (though it did have a lush momo steering wheel) that I ran until the clutch went, then scrapped it (but didn't retrieve the wheel - DOH!). then I got a 1.8 Carina with 190k on the clock, which was mint for covering the 350 miles a week I was doing on the commute, and had a HUGE boot. Eventually the o2 sensor went which was going to cost £400 to sort (only paid £300 for the car). I went to look at a volvo at the garage to trade the Carina in, but saw the deck and then the VTI sign, and then googled it and here I am. test drive sold it all day

  11. it is indeed. I see F1 as an event i watch but they are not cars really, not in the sense that we all know cars and BTCC is the best car racing series of the lot IMO.

  17. After some thinking, we thought why not Flush the engine bay and do a wiretuck as the EG turned out awesome and we enjoyed doing it. I wanted to fit a type r head later this year, but got a absolute deal for a complete car so why not eh' drop the full engine in. couldn't really have been a better time. Engine out of Donor Car Cleaned the engine and started to spray it all to freshen things up (NAZ doing his thing) All done, looks a million times better Bought a Timing belt kit and thermostat from Honda All fitted and timed up Engine Harness originally IN Progress Loads more to come InshAllah

  25. Not much going on so far. A lot of driving and tidying up. I have an Avital Maxx1 car alarm. It's a little PITA because I can't seem to set it! The manual states there is a button which you use to configure the alarm...problem is it's hidden! However, I did find a control box so reduced the sensor sensitivity for now. tip top! Some new goodies. A set of working OE fog lights with original glass and housings

  33. That looks absolutely gorgeous, beautiful deep shine and love the contrasting black pieces. One question: Are you putting the headlight washers back on? If not, why didn't you fill the holes? It goes here bud, an EK but you get the idea.

  34. THIS CAR IS s**t.... ....s**t HOT! I love the work and I wish I had the space/money/skills/technical knowhow/time/experience (you know what i mean lol) to undertake this! Personally I think it looks good without the spoiler - im tempted to do the same since my spoiler looks gash :s

  40. 17's much further down the line im affraid!! Cant get that sort of money together any time soon sadly! hopefully these will be resprayed before the fest tho!!!! Rides much better now... Feels more stable over bumps and holds on the corners alot better, especially combined with the new front rubber! Lol Waited so long to put these on now my mind is on the next job! Seems like car mod lists are a bit like red hot chilli pepper lyrics!! Done, done and onto the next one, done and done and onto the next one...
