[Hippyross 5 stud Vtis First post updated with better pics]

I mean took it apart for painting, to paint it in pb I wouldn't have had to take the doors of but because I I'm changing the colour I need to paint the insides of the doors and all.

[Hippyross 5 stud Vtis First post updated with better pics]

looks quite nice without the airiel but i like mine

 

ye you don't realize how much has gone on until you actually sit down and look at the progress

 

Ill not need it when i get a digital radio lol but we all know where the real music comes from

 

Yeah doing a build thread reminds you of how much ive done, just want it done i miss it lol but it ill be worth the wait. 

[Hippyross 5 stud Vtis First post updated with better pics]

Front end all wire wheeled and rust treated and black hammerite.

 

After talking to my mate about a respray and ceramic lacquer for a few months i said feck it and tore it down.

 

Then i decided of a colour change to r33 midnight purple i tore it down even more lol

Ohh yeah and got new wheels too.

[Hippyross 5 stud Vtis First post updated with better pics]

Roof in primer for those who wanted to see

 

And bootlid welded with a skim of isopon needs more tho.

 

I actually forget how much work has gone into it untill a look at the photos.

[Hippyross 5 stud Vtis First post updated with better pics]

Thanks for the comments fellas.

Really nice work going on there! Looks like the screen may have been leaking, hopefully it isn't now

 it shouldn't be it's still out lol.

 

Shame about the rust mate but you certainly made a good out of something bad !

 

What happened to finished pics of the roof ??? lol

 I never took any lol the I took the aerial out and washer jet out and welded it up its filled and UN primer, I'll get a pic for you tomorrow. 

Is this still not done yet? Finger. Out.

 

This should be one of the nicest MB6s around once it's done.

 

Looking at that rust doesn't inspire much confidence in what sort of rust might be lurking under mine, especially with it having lived its life in the wilds of Scotland lol

  no mate long old build slowly but surely lol I'm actually working on a wee sri corsa to drive while this is being done.

Nice build

 

I just posted up asking about a 5 stud swap and you've answered my question! Nice one

if your doing it don't used jdm your shafts will be too small used UK dc2, I wouldn't do it if I was you it's only because mine where £250 with wheels.

[Internet experts required - Do I need my tracking done?]

First off camber doesnt kill tires its toe does so id say you should get an alignment done, but tbh it doesnt look all that bad.

[Hippyross 5 stud Vtis First post updated with better pics]

Right where was I now that every thing is uploaded to a decent image host.

These photos my not be in the right order ive been doing this over the last year.

 

After i got the five stud done i drove it round to my mates body shop to get the roof painted as it was rusting see pics

 

So we pulled the window out 

 

and found this

and this, thats it cleaned up but it was badly rusted

 

so then this had to happed to get those rusty bits sorted, you can see the rust at the bottom corner of the window.

 

Patched up

 

zink primer then black primer might have used some isopon cant remember its that long ago.

 

while the front end was in bits I wire wheeled the rust and treated it and stone chipped the life out on it.

 

Sold a few things i wasnt using like my 1/5 hpi baja   I never had time to use it and when I did the kids where with me and didnt like it.

 

But they made way for these

 

And on to cleaning the rear arches and fitting coilovers

 

That ill do for tonight lol more to come. 

[Chandlers Aerodeck ITBS pictures]

Nice work mate but that's definitely something I wouldn't tackle myself lol.

[Hippyross 5 stud Vtis First post updated with better pics]

You probably seen it on the fb page.

I traded in those 15" for 16" grids, more pictures and info later.

They came up cheap and I needed to change the rear calipers as they where sticking so I went for it.

[Hippyross 5 stud Vtis First post updated with better pics]

I've loads of pics it just getting them loaded onto a hosting site that lets you copy the post a bigger image without having to pay.

[Hippyross 5 stud Vtis First post updated with better pics]

I sold this.

 

 

for this

 

which only lasted or a couple of months, i then bought this

 

I got it cleaned up and put a set of Rays on it i had in the garage with the intentions of refurbing the oem wheels.

 

I had some on accord sport wheels that i refurbed just before christmas last year.

 

 

 

At that time this was the spec

Atr recaros
B18c4 head rebult with Itr valves and cams rolling roaded at 191bhp
4-2-1 manifold
Mongoose exhaust with sports cat
Whales p***s intake
Ngk plug leads
Aircon removed
Usdm rocker cover

 

Next thing to do is to fit the five stud setup.
Ive got them stripped down for powder coating.

 

Five stud fitted

 

 

Had to replace the fuel tank so went nuts with the stone chip.

 

That will do for tonight Ill update more tomorrow.

Cheers

 

[Feck's 1999 Civic]

What about this exhaust is it for sale?

[The Daily PT2 of the White Collection."This Is Not a Project is the it's the family ride lol"]

Looking good what's the spec on the steelies?

[Dinochips Project mb6]

Please put the vti lip back on looked so much nicer.

[low offset vti]

Like the wheels just wish they wer 8 spoke instead of 7 :-\

Ha a guy that likes thing in even numbers lol

thanks for all positive comments, couple of new things coming soon so I'll update on arrival.

[Silver slug 28/2/13 skip to pg 10!]

Can you not lathe a few mm off the back off the wheel to bring it into the arch a bit and you won't have to run as much camber and you won't need new tyres every 4 months?

[s80 yeah or neah ?]

Aye going to get it just need to gather the money. I'll not be changing the inlet mani just the exhaust for the 98 spec teg one and cams then a remap

[s80 yeah or neah ?]

I think im going to put it as think it will help it and if i don't like it ill take it out lol. I'll be putting cams and 98 spec mani on it at some point and then ill get a remap.

[s80 yeah or neah ?]

Should I put one into my mb6 or buy a teg head at the same money? Obviouslythere will be alot more costs to fit the head, or s80 now and cams and remap later down the line?

[low offset vti]

Thanks for the positive replies, im glad you all like the wheels so do i lol

I was thinking about putting a dc2 head on or dc2 box but haven't quite decided on which one yet.

[low offset vti]

Bear with me on this not something i normally do on forums so I hope the pictures work lol

Some of you my know this as a fellow members car who sold it to me after someone in a dturbo decided to drive into the back of him. Unlucky for him but lucky for me So pulled the boot floor out and with a bit of it was like new just needed a rear bumper, so fixed it up with cable ties until i got sorted.

This is how i got it but with the 5 spoke vti wheels, mgzs shockes springs, arb and powerflow cat back

I also managed to swap my half leather for full leather and got mg door card off ebay no pics

Sold the fans and got dc2 wheels no pics with the dc 2 wheels just use your imagination lol looked actually well the white on silver better than I thought.

I got some Rays engineering wheels 17" x71/2 et 30 I knew I had to go low to pull them off so out with the mg stuff and in with the ebay specials.

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

So I got tyres on them and fitted them on, as I thought the rear arches needed rolled.

Got them fitting nice and snug with a few mm in between, notice my cable tie fix on ther rear bumper lol

So a car show was coming up and it was about time I got my car all cleaned up and get the things done that I wanted done as the only time my cars are sitting right are when there up for sale so it was the perfect push for me to get it all the bits done that i needed to do.

I valeted the interior first as it was a bit smokey with the leather seats i had put in, next up was to get the wheels painted from the black to this matt bronze

Got the powerflow off for the dc2 center, decat and 5zigen back box

Also got an mg zs spoiler of the last owner painted and all.

Got my windows tinted 40% allround and got my wheels on, buffed the car up waxed and I was ready for sho werks

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

My car at the show, there was a new Nissan GTR beside me stealing all my thunder

So there you go im having bother with the pics and its getting late lol hope I didnt bore you.
