DanH 1 Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 cool stuff! looks pretty evil too! got any more plans for it? Link to post Share on other sites
Tris 0 Posted July 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 Do the head gasket water pump etc, oil cooler, maybe going orange in a few weeks. orange, black wheels headlights wing mirrors. Link to post Share on other sites
bungy 2 Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 Might be worth investing on some thicker ARB's. Link to post Share on other sites
DanH 1 Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 do u know wot spec it is? obd1 or later obd2? mines same year and got the bigger od2 brakes and the abs, but the early obd1 engine. obd2 conversion is a good next step Link to post Share on other sites
Tris 0 Posted July 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 I know it has the bigger brakes as when I changed them for new the pad was over size for the original that was on there so I bought 288mm discs and the fitted perfect. someone in the past put the 280 on larger calipers. not sure if its obd1 or 2 engine though?where do you get the bigger ARB?thanks this is all new as I have usually had fords before Link to post Share on other sites
legvw 0 Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 Looking good. Shame about the h/g going, but it will give you a chance to play with the head when its off. Open the old girl up!Does your engine have 4 wires on the maf, or 6? Maf is located after the air filter, and before the throttle body? Link to post Share on other sites
Tris 0 Posted June 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 well been prepping to get a different colour on itall primed, I done it my self with spray gun and the cover on it was good, I actually suprised my self. that was with a 50ltr compressor and a lidle £9 spray gun Link to post Share on other sites
Tris 0 Posted June 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 then a guy at work said he would do the top coat with his big compressor and good gun. only thing was this would be a practice for him as he has only painted big marine barges beforeand im gutted to say it shows lol it is orange by colour and definatly looks like an orange with all the orange peel!

Tris 0 Posted June 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 as for the sun strips. I can see infront and road but thats it. the thing I struggled with on track days was late afternoon and low sun, and the sun reflecting off the dash hence flocked dash Link to post Share on other sites
