Sorry to Hi-Jack mate.

Does Reevesy do this with the Certificate for Cat 1, and what sort of price did he do it for, and would he do it again?
Mine needs a Cat 1 Fitted pretty much as soon as its done, and i'm Torn between a Clifford at more money, and a Toad AI606..

Car looks awesome mate too, Really good example, there's not many like this.
Will look even better when she's back from the bodyshop!

Bastard.
Jokes man

Yeah Reevesy gives certificates with all of his Cat 1 alarm packages but it didnt affect my insurance at all lol

Fitted it and gave me a v.good deal but i still need to go see him again and get the remote start fitted soon...

He does it for a living but is a busy dude so PM him or text him and he'll sort you out mate

Clifford's are very very good and i love mine but for the money id opt for a Toad as they offer the same options but a lot cheaper. Paying for the make and that imo!

Talk to Reevesy and he will sort you out

Cheers for the comments buddy. Im really starting to like the way shes coming together now!

Think i may have just got myself some new seats and a de-cat

LEE_VTR1 · 8th April 2008, 20:30

fooooookk me you did strip it red,

how come youve stripped it?

Adam_Q · 8th April 2008, 20:42

Red why why why did you get rid of the angels, they make it look so much.... newer lol!

Seriously though, would look tones better with them in it. Not say it doesn't look sexual as it is

RedB · 8th April 2008, 22:09

Pics up soon before/after iv cleaned it up to a sparkle.
Going to end up with two dead arms at this rate of going round polishing everything

Wasnt easy to keep getting rid of stuff...but it became like an addiction to turn my car into an almost annorexic shed lol

Car still smells a little bit like a homebase/B&Q now but im really happy with the respray

Think i might give the interior a quick blast with the UDM to make the flake pop a little bit more!

Shiny shiny

AlexB^p · 12th April 2008, 10:56

so is it staying fully stripped then red??

For the moment yes mate until my special new item comes to fill the space

Pretty big clue there lol

Quick update...

Remote start will be fitted on May 11th! Woop woop

GTI leather is also going very shortly to replaced by another set of new seats.
Let me know if you have buckets up for sale at the moment please

Red

RedB · 15th April 2008, 23:34

Just found this lovely pic randomly...

Snow in april and my car is really dirty!? What a joke tbh lol

Anyways a quick update on what's progress has actually been made and whats been done in the last few days...

The interior has now been fully stripped and resprayed in gunmetal to match the outside
I think the whole stripped look has really grown on me and im loving how its looking at the moment minus my rollcage...

Pics of the interior as it is now up tommorow or thurs when i get a chance to polish the inside up a bit more and get some good pictures of the metallic flake popping

Few items i've received and polished up...

Grubby decat...

Shiny shiny...i swear im like a magpie when it comes to a bit of bling lol!

You can also see the almost finished tow eye in the above pics aswell...

X-Sport racing linkages and OMP to be fitted tommorow along with the de-cat and some more heatwrap to almost finish off the exhaust system!

Cant wait for the de-cat to go on along with the lower strut brace

RedB · 15th April 2008, 23:42

New buckets have also been found and are awaiting collection along with my new rear bumper

Bodywork should be finished in time for FCS im hoping now as i have a few niggles with my paintwork at the moment.

RedB · 21st April 2008, 19:32

21st April Monday Update

De-cat'd
OMP fitted
X-Sport's on

Pics of everything for ya...

Shitty old Shitroen linkages gone (caused my Crimbo Eve breakdown

)

OMP, OMP, OMP

Lovely de-cat

Really liking that last pic!

The X-Sport racing linkages were cheaper than standard replacement Citroen items and really do feel so much more solid and firmer.
Every shift has been reduced by around 25-30% over standard id say and that is before the Griffith's and Compbrake quickshift items have been fitted from KamRacing!!!

OMP lower brace has reduced torque steer and combined with the Sparco upper brace, have really stiffened up the whole feel of the car especially through cornering but i have noticed the difference in just normal driving.

The de-cat has made the whole system a little bit louder...ok a LOT louder but it pop's, bangs and rasps a lot which sounds like absolute pure sex

I also bagged myself a new rear bumper on Sat from Mj1 - Mike (thanks buddy your a ledgend!) so my new Piper backbox can fit flush after the bumper has been sprayed up and colour coded.

If anyone has a green forged or Procomp induction kit they want to sell me i will buy them drinks all night at FCS

RedB · 21st April 2008, 19:39

Still to do...

* Heatwrap from the manifold all the way to the backbox with some spare wrap i have lying around

* Remove heat-shielding from around the system

* Fit new bumper, backbox and induction kit
- Will make the system quieter but improve the sound and also smoothness of the engine thorugh idle and acceleration slightly because the current induction kit is a bit pants plus it looks like the backbox i have is the channel tunnel just strapped to the back of my car tbh lol!

* Clean up the whole underside of the car and lay a few fresh coats of hammerite down

RedB · 22nd April 2008, 18:49

Spare FCS ticket and spare for a co-pilot to FCS up for grabs along with space in the room i have booked at Wellingbrough Main Sax-P hotel

Not long until FCS and she should be fully track ready plus a few extras i have planned
