Also their is a small hole in the centre section which makes the rasp noise, and im loosing nearely all my fuel in 24 hrs!! So the whole exhaust system is getting checked over and also my radiator cos i suspect a leak from it :wall::wall:

Bad times.

Also im off tomorrow mate, if you want ill come with you to get a centre section. And could you do us a favour, i would like the push engine start in the dash like yours so if its ok could you cut a hole in one of the ports so that i can mount it. Then i will either get a new centre section and put your coin surrounding in it or cover the gap with a rubber grommet like on the de- wiper
Sounds good mate corse ill help :) Ill message you

Lewis 17th May 2010 20:14
So, big things happened today, mainly rather dissapointing things but things nonetheless. Me and morgiee fitted the centre section (Cheers Tom5190) and SS backbox but the 2 just didnt wanna play ball. Long story short ive now got a standard backbox on and the SS is for sale.

Also sorted out the rattling door cards and stuck on both rear badges.

Ill keep you updated on anything else that goes standard.

Shame about today mate, well atleast we gave it a go. Just been to Toms and i need a new radiator cos it is leaking bad and new rocker cover. So bad times.

Thought what the hell so i decided to strip out the rear, kinda half ass but it looks tidy. Im picking up 2 VTR front seats later so ill get another update with them in.

Piccy's:






And an image i really like for some reason...



Cheers
Lewis

Lewis 23rd May 2010 14:04
VTR seat pics:

Cheers Dankzy for helping me out, got the seats in no bother.

joe333 23rd May 2010 17:53
looks good!!

Morgiee 23rd May 2010 22:49
Looking real good however you will seriousely have to mount the sub if your keepin it. Im going to remove tints off the side and put a show cage in lol

Lol cheers mate and spray the show cage so it doesnt look like a show cage :P

Lewis 25th May 2010 15:55
I was thinking where to go next with the car if i decide to keep it longer. I was thinking of mabey adding 205 gti wheels or darker colour grey VTS wheels. Then putting a black VT bumper on and spraying the rear bumper black. Mabey then doing the bonnet and roof later on.

Heres a photoshop of the idea:

Lewis 25th May 2010 16:52
Thought it looked funny slammed :P

adamskiTNR 25th May 2010 16:57
Isn't that sub gonna sound really "different" with it stripped out?

Sounds a bit 'weak' and flat yea =/

If i had a decent exhaust id just take it out but i like listening to something at least :D

Another update today.

Bought a harness and installed it on the drivers seat. Looking lovely, i may buy another one for the passenger in the future.

I also made a custom sticker and fitted it to the rear :)

Guess what, another update! This time its bad... unfortunatly shit hit the fan and for reasons im not going to explain the car is pretty much going standard :( The harness is out and rear seats in already, i think im just gonna cut my losses and make up as much money as i can and see what happens.
