They are Recliners, the top two pics are of the fixed cobra buckets i had in there. They're now in Jaywards Vtr conversion. The bottom pic is of the recliners that are in there now. smileys/smiley2.gif

Jimbo

15th April 2006, 22:59

Yates

15th April 2006, 23:05

Jimbo

15th April 2006, 23:08

Yates

It's perfectly lowered, i don't want drive shaft, wheel baring and drive shaft boot problems.

I'm getting a 4" slash cut piper. I would rather not have the village cats crawling up my exhaust if i had a 5"

Okay, so i havn't up-dated in a while.

Got really annoyed with the *cough* Vts badges! *cough* So they have been removed.

Standard ariel has been chopped down, and put on.

De-wipered the rear.

Colour coded the rocker cover.

Got a nice piper 4" slash cut on. Sounds gorgeous.

Baz

4th July 2006, 17:30

looks good mate, think you cut the arial abit too small though :P 206 ariel would look better IMO or no ariel at all...;)

Graeme

4th July 2006, 17:32

looks nice matey!!

what else you got planed??

Jimbo

4th July 2006, 17:33

Nah, 206 ariels have a wobbly section in the middle. I don't like it.

Craig

4th July 2006, 17:33

how did u do the rocker cover buddy?

Jimbo

4th July 2006, 17:35

looks nice matey!!

what else you got planed??

I can get a leather GTI interior for £250, so i might get one of those.

going to go down to 50 on the front, rather than 40.

No doubt other things, but i don't know yet. Might get the wheels done anth.

Luke

4th July 2006, 17:36

Looking good mate.

Jimbo

4th July 2006, 17:38

how did u do the rocker cover buddy?

Took it off, Used paintstripper on it.

Sanded it, primed it, painted it (lots of coats) Then lots of thin coats of laquore, followed by a thick one to give it the shine.

Heat proof paint isn't necessary, i did that with normal paint, and it's been fine for a month.

4th July 2006, 17:54

Very nice.

Craig

4th July 2006, 17:59

is it a big job to tkae rocker cover off ? like the gasket seals etc?

Jimbo

4th July 2006, 18:03

Unbolt the 2 botls, and pull it off. lol

The rubber seal you see at the front, is the gasket!

Jimbo

4th July 2006, 18:05

*runs to halfrauds to get some blue paint*

How did you get your manifold cover so shiny? Looks ace.

I think i need to adjust my piper, as mine sits a little lower than yours, and yours looks spot on.

Did you use the rubbers that came with it?

I just snapped my standard clamp, then put the new box on. Literally took 15 minutes.

Sean

4th July 2006, 18:11

quite like that mate, undecided on the wheels, think you need black vtr rims;) tidy wee car though :)

Jimbo

4th July 2006, 18:15

Cheers Sean.

Not sureon wheels. Were the only non-standard thing on the car when i brought it.

I wanted some Euro rims like Ads Vts, but i just can be doing with spending ALOT of dosh on Wheels.

saxoboy2005

4th July 2006, 18:32

nice car! but whats with the induction kit? dont you have to take the standered air box of then attach the filter? didnt know you could leave both on!

Jimbo

4th July 2006, 18:51

the standard Element isn't still in there lol!

I need the standard pipe from the airbox to thefeed pipe. Want it all back to standard.

Yates

4th July 2006, 19:33

how did u do the rocker cover buddy?

Not with a tooth brush like you :P :P

Manifold cover, all you need is some metal polish and elbow grease! maybe give it a once over with a brillo pad to start n that will get someof the shit off

Craig

4th July 2006, 20:05

gunna have a crack at that :p rocker cover i mean

ChrisJ

4th July 2006, 21:45

I just snapped my standard clamp, then put the new box on. Literally took 15 minutes.

Cant remember:fcuk:

Edit: Back box looks rather close to the floor. Not much room for more lowering

Yates

4th July 2006, 21:48

didnt say before but shit hot car jimbo mate

Dan

4th July 2006, 21:50

Coming along very nicely matey. Wheels would be only thing Id change.

Jimbo

4th July 2006, 22:49

Thanks alot Yatesy dude.

I know what you mean Dan. Mate of mine wants some Vtr wheels. So i might buy a set, and have his Rallye steelies off him.

Not into "look, my exhaust is sqaure, and my back end spins out when i take a fast corner" ;)

Nah, i sort of know what you mean. I might go down 50 on the front rather than 40. But the handling is amazing at the moment. Come in the car, you'll feel it's not standard ride hight:D:

Jimbo

6th July 2006, 23:05

Thanks alot Beastgtir :Y:

P23UNK... you're just a legend.

Jimbo

24th July 2006, 23:44

Was getting bored with the car, so Took a picture the other day, and fitted some smoked headlights, fog lights, and side repeaters yesterday. Ultra smoked rears will follow... then maybe powdercoated anth wheels.

A cool picture:

Saxoladlesta

25th July 2006, 00:19

Nice,only thing I would change is the wheels to some multi-spoke black ones :Y:

mark16v

25th July 2006, 09:39

Looks sweet now it is lowered :Y:

Clarkson

25th July 2006, 09:50

Nice car son.

Lowering it makes all the difference.

Just put some original vtr alloys on. and it will be immaculate.

Hopcraft

25th July 2006, 10:14

that looks really nice as it is, but i think you should lower a bit more, and anthrite wheels sounds great.

d5mo_h

25th July 2006, 10:14

nice mate a like it well done

Jimbo

25th July 2006, 15:05

Thanks guys :)

Really don't know what to do. I want new wheels but modifiying is such a waste of money, I can't live with a stanard car though...

25th July 2006, 18:14

nice lights mate

Jimbo

25th July 2006, 18:37

They look alot better than they did on the last car they were on.

Dan

25th July 2006, 23:52

Very nice matey, liking the lights.

dannyjay

26th July 2006, 08:34

Looks nice matey, but I do prefer the standard mark 2 lights over the smoked. But I think thats all down to my wheels, haha.

But looks nice matey, mattwesty recently did me a set too. :Y:

Jimbo

26th July 2006, 09:23

I really don't know if i do like them to be honest. But my car's actually in it's MOT right now and it had a smashed headlight. A new light was £70, and a set of smoked headlights, fogs, and side repeaters was £80 2nd hand, but mint.

So i thought fuck it, now i'm after some Ultra smoked jewel rears. ;) Give me yours...
