  1. Got my custom centre section, also went with a backbox delete. Matt
  2. Exhaust? What exhaust? Also painted the inserts and centres of the cups purple, used Halfords Graffiti Purple Matt
  3. Ahh, should've flashed or something! As for exhausts, I don't have one, cat collapsed yesterday so I just have the manifold now going next week for a custom straight through Matt
  4. I dont have many issues with floorpan, its mostly just exhaust issues as he probably heard Off for a custom exhaust next week when I get paid though, should sort my issues nicely! Matt
  5. Coming off the road in October for a few months, hopefully for a D16, turbo, MeisterR's and new wheels. Back to wanting a set of Klutch SL1's now, 15x8.5 ET17. Matt
  6. I seem to have an issue with trying other peoples wheels on Mate has his 9J cups off the car at the moment as the tyres are shot, so I thought i'd try them on. Bit more stretch and some camber with rolled arches and they'd be sitting nicely. Excuse the crappy awful pictures, it was getting dark and my phone camera is crap Also offered up his slotmags. They look pretty damn awesome However, I think they may need a little work to fit! Matt
  7. For those that haven't seen it on facebook, I got nominated to do the speedbump challenge wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be to be honest. Matt
  8. I barely start constantly thinking up plans for cars and never doing anything! This is the first car where my plans might actually happen! On another note, centre straight through pipes, what ones are good? Fed up of this pile of crap sportex falling apart, its now pretty much destroyed Matt
  9. Cheers for the advice Jim, turbo is a T28 of unknown origin. Bought it really as a bit of an experiment, think i'll be buying a D16 for this now and running a lower boost setting anyway... And to think this was a 500 quid car bought to tide me over for a few months until I could afford something else Matt
  10. Not boosted... yet. Will be coming off the road over winter for hopefully a boosted D16, MeisterR's and some wider wheels, might be replacing the 7J ATS Cups with a staggered 8J and 9J set! Matt
  11. Its a big button. Didn't do anything, but it looked funny Matt
  12. Yes, yes I am! Did this to my old Polo for a charity meet Matt
  13. Anything can be made to fit I was possibly thinking something like these painted with some custom hubs to attach them to the frame. Matt
  14. Zimmer frame, because most MB drivers seem to be of that age! Going to lower it more with custom legs and wheels and repaint it to match the car, will be a show prop next year propping the bonnet open to see the turbo! Matt
  15. Cant wait, also picked up an Inlet Manifold with a chamber twice as large as the standard D14 and a slightly larger throttle body. Now to save for an Intercooler, Megasquirt ECU and a few other bits. Perhaps shares in Bridgestone too! Matt
  16. Collected the turbo yesterday, ended up buying a bigger inlet manifold too, now just gotta sort myself a shopping list for the winter! Was a fairly eventful trip, hit what I can only describe as a small mountain, which tripped the fuel cut-off switch Matt
  17. It'll be raised up a tad when it all gets fitted, not by much, but enough to make it useable. Matt
  18. Do want a set, but finding some in the fitment I want is proving a bit difficult... plus I have no money Matt
  19. Anything is possible, but just because its possible, doesnt mean it should be done.
  20. Tried on some more wheels today, a 15x8 ET15 Borbet, did look pretty damn good Matt
  21. Plan is straight through all the way to a standard backbox. Might buy another standard backbox and complete gut it for shows so i'd be running a complete straight through! Had a quick look under the car the other day to find this Matt
  22. Predicably enough, this happened. Exhausts over over-rated anyway Have ordered some 2.25" pipe, going to re-use the clamps off the de-cat and get a mate to weld a straight through in. Matt
  23. Just get your friends interested in low cars I had no interest in low cars until my mate with the 45 went stupid with his Downside is, predictably enough, I need a new de-cat, bottom of mine has completely worn away now, it doesnt stop scraping and its now a lot louder Matt
