Neilp Posted November 21, 2011 Author Posted November 21, 2011 Looks good Neil, so when will the car be ready? Im hoping to collect in jan/feb time but depending on what else i send down to them to get done will effect when i'll get it back tbh. As long as I have it for march/april time I'll be happy What kind of seats are they? Its coming along nicely Neil love the placement of the bottle, gives the strut brace a reason for being so large and in-the-way! They are Honda Accord Type R Recaro's mate Quote
Neilp Posted November 21, 2011 Author Posted November 21, 2011 Moved. Cheers mate, was just about to request Quote
DoogyRev Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 Looks Great Neil, Bet you can't wait to get it finished Quote
Neilp Posted November 21, 2011 Author Posted November 21, 2011 Looks Great Neil, Bet you can't wait to get it finished Im dying to get her back but I usually SORN her over the winter so usually put her back on the road in march. I'm just looking forward to the 100hp hit of Nitrous Cant wait to see if its all been worth while. Theres a stanalone AEM engine management system going in it, the centre cubby is getting modified to take the gauges, Harness bar getting welded in at correct height behind the seats and will also help stiffen the car up a bit. I'll keep my mouth quiet about the rest of the stuff going on until closer to the time Quote
BulletMagnet Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 My bro has the AEM EMS in his SC'd Celica and is very pleased with it. That was until his auto box decided to get stroppy and stopped playing with the rest of the car. Currently transferring everything from the old car to another Celica with a manual box. He is so impressed by the tuneability of the AEM. Quote
LRF4N Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 U better stay true to ur word now Neil and keep the car for life lol that's a lotta work going into it now Quote

Currently transferring everything from the old car to another Celica with a manual box. He is so impressed by the tuneability of the AEM. The aem series 2 ems is what i'm fitting so I hope it does what it says. Its not the most expensive on the market but should do what I need it to do Quote
Keyser Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 Looking good mate Let me know how it goes with the Cusco 7 Point cage (or first dibs if you don't fit it ) Are you still having a bar welded in for the harnesses? Quote

Lol it will be going in defo lol, yep harness bar still getting welded in, shouldnt interfere with the cage Quote
Neilp Posted January 13, 2012 Author Posted January 13, 2012 So had a quick visit to AME today and the car is looking immense. Pics are only on the phone so not so clear. Picked up the cage from the powder coaters yesterday Then went on route to AME. The nos is fully installed now and ready to have the ems fitted and tuned. I have put up duplicate pics (almost) as I dont know which ones will turn out better once photobucket resizes. The seats still look green on pics (due to flash) but look very silver in reality. The seat mounts have been adjusted various times to get the seats lower and inline with the steering wheel etc. (and now need to come back out to fit the cage) Thats all for now, More updates soon Quote
Neilp Posted January 13, 2012 Author Posted January 13, 2012 Looking good Neilly lad! Cheers stew, still another few months work to be done before she's home lol. I'm keeping stuff a secret until its done though Quote
