I'm out of it all day today, having lunch with mother, gotta do a b&q trip later, and tomorrow i have the joy of work in the morning, so probably won't actually get anything done till sunday afternoon! Pants :-)

Little update; picked wheels and tyres up off of bungy tuesday (probably the worst day to pick regarding the major traffic caos that was southampton!), and had the tyres fitted, so they can go on and i might actually be able to take it up the road! :-)

Happy days!!

I've been meaning to get some pics up for a while now, so i'l make an effort tomorrow to get snapping!

[Phat VR6 3]

Sorry for the very long delay on updating my thread, but work and the time of year have taken priority lately.

Wheels are on and are looking spot on!

I've made my de-cat, cat, middle section, and rear of my exhaust.

It runs along side the prop, over the anti rollbar, then under the driveshaft. This way the whole exhaust will come off in 1, if the anti rollbar is dropped.

[john555 0]

didnt realise that was possible. thought it would be far to close to the road with it running under

what size is it 2.5"

any pics of your car on its new wheels

[legvw 0]

Well the middle silencer is quite close, but not too bad. Its a 3" system all the way, mid and rear silncers are both straight through.

Its the only picture i've got of the new wheels atm, and my poor attempt at fillering on the old fuel flap.

[bungy 2]

All looking good there buddy. Bet those brakes are a tight squeeze. Recognise those wheels from somewhere.

looks good bud have you just deleted the filler cap?

are you going for a full respray or are you just doing the 1/4

[legvw 0]

Yeah just plated it over, then fillered it. And will get the car blown over next year when i can afford it! Its just got paint and filler on it to stop it rusting!

And cheers bungy, they do look good with those beefy brakes behind them.

[bungy 2]

Looking forward to my passenger ride when it's all done.

Managed to finish the air in side of the induction system, and tucked the air filter down behind the bumper.

I also fitted the passenger seat in and bolted up the harness.

And a better picture of the wheels of my car

[bungy 2]

Looks like it is really coming along. Have you managed to get your running issues sorted now?

[legvw 0]

Yes and no, runs better, but i think the fpr is playing up. It goes really lean when you blip the throttle, but richens up if the throttle is held open.

So should get another fpr soon, and hopefully start some mapping down the lanes! :-)

[AJmk2 2]

Looks like great progress , like the filter placement. Not sure but think it runs lean when you blip the throttle maybe due to the response time of the wideband, think if its steady under load then its fine.

[legvw 0]

Oh, yeah that sounds about right actually. Cheers!

I'l be doing some mapping over christmas, so i'l bear that in mind.

Hopefullt get my seat in tomorrow, and jack it up to check the 4wd system.

[bungy 2]

If you need a hand fella i'm off now untill well after Christmas.

[Phat VR6 3]

the Santa Monicas look good rolling apparently.

Was the spare wheel well 2 skins. did you chop both out jut replace with one panel?

Cheers mate, i'l be up as much as i can, but got to let some of this snow, ice an slush clear because its quite dangerous atm!

No just 1 skin, so replaced with 1.

Heres the pictures of me fitting a corbeau bucket seat to a modified mk3 seat frame.

First off, completely strip the seat so your left with a pile like this.

Chuck everything away bar the base!

The 'bum' shaped piece will have to come off now, few cuts with a grinder and a sharp chisel and your should be left with the skeleton of the seat base.

Chuck the shaped piece away, and give the base a clean up.

Then move the tab that holds the height adjuster down so its clear of the new frame your going to put on the top of the base.

Then cut some 25x25, 30x30, or what you've got angle wise, to fit in the seat base, but drill according to the base mounted seat you've got.

And just weld them onto the base!

Finally paint in your favourite colour!

Then bolt it all together, and slide the whole assembly into the sliders.

Then get in to give it a test 'sit' and admire your handy work!

Lovely job :-p

[bungy 2]

Very nice. Got yourself all finished yesterday then even with our interruption. Make sure that passenger one is secure, i'm a nervous passenger. lol

[legvw 0]

Yeah got finished off, and yes the passenger seat is secure mate!

Finishing off my mates landy today, so prob not going to get anything done on the car, but i'l let you know when i need a hand test driving!!

[J5KE F 0]

That 'little' project is soo close to finishing now fella!! This coming season is gonna be very interesting!! Thanks again for your help yesterday mate, and glad u managed to get that seat finished!
