*webby's progress thread FOR SALE*
 

right gang i thought i may aswell crack on with a progress thread.

picked up my car towards the end of jan and was insured on it from the feb 1st.

so far im loving it quick handles great altough i personally think underdamped on the rear causing it to be a bit bouncey.

it came with a piper-x open induction kit on which is now off other than that its standard.

dont have any pictures from when i picked it up. this is how it is now after a good wash.








the bonnet polished with just mer (stuff i had lying around)



same area done with mer AG EGP and topped off with simonez hard wax.



and an AshleyP inspired shot


i have already done a few touches, i have fitted some pressed plates and also a small saxp sticker.



future plans:

Rebush the whole car using a combination off polyurathene and standard and hard rubber mounts.

lower it 25mm on konis. not into the on your arse look. plus without uprating torsion bars dont want to cause added understeer

modify the standard airbox so airflow is a smooth as possible.

custom quite stainless exhaust and fanny mould.

short shift.

refurb then polished wheels.

wind deflectors

dewiper and de areial using ax bits (thanks willsy for the part numbers)

new interior i ripped it on day 2 with a stud on my jeans.

paint rocker covers and fill and paint coil pack cover.

fit some decent rubber falken 912 i think.

Full detail when i get my megs DA and other assorted goodies.

i'm going for a nice satndard-ish road car, hard suspension on the roads is not good. i may do a blast up a couple of hillclimbs and sprints for fun nothing more.

i will update as i go.

any ways all coments welcome!

nice motor mate keep us updated:y:

looking good webby ;)

i stole that shot off of mark51 btw lol

i dont see any audio in your plans?

Nice car mate..:A:

car looks good mate :y:
shame about you ripping the seat on your 2nd day :n:

Looks very very clean bud!! what mods you got in mind??:p:p

Shiny shiny!

Just needs lowering bud ............:y:

i like that, nice :)

think we should all create a thread for ashleyp inspired shots, just because its a great angle!

Nice car mate, plans sound really good!

Like you avatar aswell ;)

i thought it would have been self implied lol.

its having my oz vector components ran by a jbl 75.2 and my 2 soundstream tarantuala 12's in a 4.5 cuft @ 41hz ran by a pro plus nemisis. knuconceptz 0 gauge. stinger rca's the works it should drop hard and be really loud im hoping for 145+db if not its back to the drawing board.

when you get up north we will have a enclosure built for your t4 in a day mate:y:

i know its a shame as the were spotless but it happens i might look for a airbagged set-up

as above really i may go for a set of ph3 newmans and a pred ecu as money allows but i want to keep it as as a nice road car primarily

lol that kid is a legend i cant wait for him to be up north so we can create an ultimate boomer lol allthough mark51 deserves some cred for the original

every one loves the avatar she is a babe.

lol, im still being a gay about building an enclosure for the t4, thinking if i do, itll be 2cuft, unsure about port, guessing itll be a slot port though

wiring up my rainbows tomorrow, hoping to get that geny amp of TA, if not, ill go for that harmon kardom, reevsey's able to get quite a lot of stuff on discount prices now!

Nice standard vts you got there mate, ive always like wicked red! plans sound good aswel...keep us posted ;)

Wicked Red FTW! :D

Looks good..:P

lookin mint! :)

cheers! trying to keep it as standard as possible while still making it different lol

Wicked red is my fav colour:y:

thanks!

bit of an update nothing major.

i followed the guide on here and decided to fill and paint my coil pack cover.

i chose a really coarse silver infact the same colour im going to do my wheels. it really pops in the sun just my rocker covers and manifold cover letting in the bay down now.
any way pics.


comments.:y:

Looks good but those rockers need doing asap :)

Took me all day to get those rockers from a similar state to a state where I could polish them lol! Worth it though :)

sexxxaaaayyy

looks good.

my rocker covers are sprayed silver and coilpack cover sprayed wicked red, i think it looks ace like that.

Nice car mate

nice loving the colour :D

yeah you can see were i have already attempted with a little autosol and scotch brite pad. alot of hard work.

this set im going to paint body colour and a spare im going to polish.

well i followed the coil pack guide to gospel but guess what. the filler cracked and the paint lifted:wall:. nm though, i will have another go. but what annoys me is i didnt use cheap spray can paint i used 2k from a hvlp gravity gun. i used plastic primer. ahh well.:fcuk:

anyways the few bits i have done since last time. :A:

1. laid down my stereo cables with the exception of my 0 gauge.
2. got the speaker wires in for my front speakers.
3. fitted some cold air feed pipe to the standard scoop on the front, before it was just running a standard open airbox, its made it alot quiter and i like it for it:wacko:
no pictures yet of that.

today i did:

1. i ordered and fitted my dewiper using proper parts not a boot grommit lol.

2. fitted my de-aerial radio reception hasnt really suffered but you can tell a bit.

3. Fitted my volt meter so when i am up and booming i can keep an eye on my voltage to make sure everything is ok. i have wired the turn on into the remote so it turns on with the amps but it still picks its readings up from the back, so its give me a good indication of how things are in the boot.


comment welcome as always people:y::afro:

here is a picture of my current induction set-up. can tell no difference between that and the piper-x i had fitted. it is very quite so i am moving on to yet another one hopefully before fcs.

Nice work webby:y:

catch can making
 

well when i change my induction set up again i am going to be running a catch can. but me being poor i wasnt going to pay for one so que the photo's

one full can of brake fluid

5 mins under a wire wheels and 10mins polishing with some autosol.


i then decided i wanted the top satin black. so 2mins masking up the polished bits and a couple of coats left me with this.


dont worry the brake fluid went straight into the river:y: and i washed the can out before hand.

cost: about 20p for the solvol.

i will plumb the feed in the top and drill a couple of vent holes. :)

cheers scott!

You tight git lol.

Good idea though:y:

yeah i was going to do it with an empty polish bottle but i thought that was too ghetto

update:

not done this in a while so here we go.

first of all i got the -35mm apex kit. a good kit and i am really impressed with it for the money.
fitted new top mounts.
standard discs and mitex pads all round.
a full set of T1R's which are very good imo.
i fitted my momo wheel and a snap off boss so no sod can steal it easily, it has also brought the wheel higher and closer making the driving position excelent. :y:
fitted my carbon induction kit and catch can.
fitted my custom exhaust. its 2" pipework and a 2.5" outwardly rolled tip in stainless.
then i spent alot of time cleaning it.
I am still not happy and the paint is very thin so it will be going in for a respray over winter in the same coulour. i am getting 3/4 coats of clear done so i can cut back into it and really bring it up glossy.





and lastly all done lowerd, new tyres, brakes etc


the exhaust is loud but not offensive (sp)

imo the car is too low so i am getting some custom springs made that will bring it up 15mm not a massive difference but enough plus they will be uprated.

plans now are:

making a custom lower strut brace becasue i can and have too much spare time on my hands lol.
then wait untill winter when its off the road and i can sort it properly but it will be back in april as a new beast. im not 100% on the plans but it should be good.

enjoy y'all

C+C's

That looks really good! :D

comming along nicely dude!

Wow, very shiney. Red cars do come up nice though.

cheers.

yeah man no subs in there though :n: too heavy with them in its not a hot hatch its a regular hatch lol im going for a small sealed in there and i have a berlingo van which i have BIG plans for.

it looks ok in that pic but the paint is shocking no swirls but full of deep scratches like its been driven past a bush alot. and the paint is too thin to use a harsher compound.

comming along nicely dude............................:p:p

im selling the T410 soonish man ;)

just like you, too much weight in the car. im going down the track route, so my audio has got to go

Looks good. I like the homemade catch tank, good idea :y:

how did you do the cables through the front doors? im doing this myself at the moment but failing to find the channel behind the spare plug slots that I drilled out... couldnt really see properly as was night time.
Did you use the standard plug or pummel holes in the car door and shell? piccys would be great!
Cheers
