the second one was well funny!! lol the damage done in the first one tho

the one i bought from your good self, were for the smaller wheels and didnt fit my Rays. all i did was drill out the plastic on the back and then remove the nissan burger. and then just stick the emblems on the cleaned up fascia. SIMPLES

sorry they didnt upload!!!! they are there now!

hi there people, haven't added many more pics as the weather has been rubbish and the car is really dirty but i have added a few mods now. first off i changed the centre caps for ones of my own design. then i got my strut brace cover wrapped in carbon. decided to put on a JWT pop charger, great noise it makes!! really pleased!! then after that i got a scorpion cat back with Japspeed Y-Pipe for a very good price. (thanks Steve) i cleaned it up and got it installed. also got some carbon B pillar covers. put a new gear knob on as the other was worn!! (but having cleaned it up, now its off the car it looks really good, DOH!!) and all important!! i would love to get a full remap but saving for a house means its a no go at the moment!! i really need to give her a really good clean. i have just done alot of motorway miles so there is no point at the moment. next week i will properly clean her!! all comment are welcome thanks for looking Sparky

holy thread revival batman!!!!

WOW!!!! epic!!!!!! great thread mate!! looks uber cool

hey thanks for the offer mate, unfortunately im going up north for a P-a-r-t-y!! perhaps another time if its still a problem thanks again

thanks mate

what is the best time to check the oil level? cold or warmed up? have had some conflicting stories. i think i might need a top up as the oil pressure gauge is reading a little low around 45-50 PSI if i remember correctly. Cheers Sparky

before you go doing that have you got a plumbers blow torch. heat the nuts up and it should make getting them off a little easier. will need a good ring spanner with a towel or a cloth wrapped round it.

i went back to get this sorted today. however they are saying that it may have to have the mid pipe spilt then re welded to sort out the rubbing issues. personally i dont think this is the case. i have stuffed some ceramic cloth between the mid pipe and brace. this has sorted it temporally. i was thinking.... there was 2 holes either side of the mid pipe on the brace. perhaps i could get a U clamp and then bolt it though and hold the mid pipe tight onto the brace!! would this be OK? Sparky

that is gorgeous!!! so cool!! ure a lucky man!!!! edit:- just looked at the build photos!!!!!! holy moly!! there was some serious work there and money!!

i know the switches in left its the knobs on the right. just wondered why i only have one and others of the same year have 2

i have a UK GT. just wondered what it is

i was looking though Dan4's FS thread and noticed that he has 2 adjustment knobs on the side of his seat, i have noticed this on a number of cars. only thing is, i seem to only have one. was this an upgrade on later cars? mine is a early 04 car but on a 53 plate. what is the other knob for?? Sparky

should have bloody gone down there, thought it was too far to go!! wish i had of really. i really dont think that the mid pipe can be installed upside down. as the hanger bracket is connected and OK. UNLESS the Y pipe could be fitted upside down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! as it looks the same either way up. but there maybe a slight difference!!!! Ooh never thought of the Y-pipe!

sods law that!!!! they are OEM Cats. when i walked over to have a look at what was happening i did notice a fairly large hammer on the ramp next to him!! i had the Y pipe, mid and box installed. no it was a 2nd hand one from Steve (team Lizard) should have fitted sweet as a nut!!

no havent yet, will tomorrow tho, when i had a quick look, the cat seems to be low on the drivers side. there are no hangers there so i hope that they havent damaged anything when removing the bolts and the OEM Ypipe. my sisters BF (who is a mechanic) said to go there as they were not bad and have dont some work for him in the past. (RSR, factory lane, Croydon). Bloody Knew i should have done it myself!!!!! Sparky

local place mate, what do u mean rotate it 45 degrees? u cant do that, its a flanged joint. all the bolts appear to be tight as well. its a bloody pain really. they have used sealent on all of the joints as well. i just hope that they havent damaged the cats or even worse the manifolds, removing the old bolts!! cheers

i had an scorpion exhaust fitted with a Japspeed Y pipe yesterday. however after driving about today it is touching and rattling on the beam that goes across the car about half way up the mid pipe. i have checked that the hangers are on but it just seem weird that it was OK yesterday but is now fouling. also does the scorpion get "louder" when it gets hotter, ie when your driving harder? as when i was driving a bit harder than usual it sounded almost like it was blowing. Cheers

i too, would love to come down to abbeys and have a look at the beast!! get a date sorted ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

right, this is not to the exact mm but its about 1980mm thats with the mirrors fully out. as i say this isnt absolute but is your garage is 2metre wide i think you need a smaller car or a driveway

if you give me fine i'll measure the width and yes a UK GT would have foldy mirrors

white spoiler for sure, looks like the bonnet has got a kink in it as well. been in an accident me thinks

amen to that!! i said i wasnt gonna MOD it in ant way!! LOL it satred with badges then to pop charger, exhaust, y pipe!! ohh dear! and now i got my first carbon bits!! oh bugger
