[Real Mark D]

right its about time, been on here a while now.

some of you have seen the car, now its time for a project thread.

2 years ago i bought this p reg 14 for the pricey sum of 1900 quid , fairly neat, spent an age with Mark_D off here looking over it. ended up buying it

after somehow managing to flog the rx8 wheels and rolling on standards for a while these arrived...



pleased to say the least

work emotion xd9's 18x10 rears et 18 with falken 452 235 40 18
18x9 fronts et20 again with falkens 225 40 18.

Before attempting to roll my arches this happened...

yup an arch made of filler and fiberglass.

sorted this out at a cost, and then pablo worked his magic rolling skills, well arch rolling at least


now i dont have any more pics as it currently sits cos im such a lazy git, but here is one, bit shit tho




ordered an avcr the other day and am waiting for it to arrive, as well as being in the middle of fitting r33 gtst calipers with 330 disks and some project mu hc plus pads.

on a quick note i also went to the weekender at donington park. took it on my first track session ever and it survived.
quick pic thanks to daz




updates and pictures to follow... mostly avcr and stage 1 powers.

and yet to be dyno'd

cheers

Looks good. I had the same sort of bodged arches on my car. I just pulled it and it all came off!

[Real Mark D]

haha yes thats what happened to mine. nothing a new rear arch couldnt replace from a breaker

[Delboy]

Good to see you getting a thread up mate

If you want some more pics I have a few from the weekender.

In fact hang on....







Ah, yeah, I was in drunken arty photo mode it seems, not a single full pic!

[MEL]

about time you got a thread started, officialy jealous of your choice of rolling stock, i lurve xd9's

[Bruiser]

Simple yet effective

Seeing as its 2015 now, its about time i gave an update. After falling in and out of love with it for the last year, i finally got round to doing some work on her. Missing some pictures but in the last 6 months i have managed to fit :

navan front bumper
stage 2a'd
z32 rear brakes
de wipered
fully pollybushed and powdercoated rear subframe/rear knuckles/arms
roll center rear ball joint
air con removed
Nardi deep corn
in the middle of a new intercooler install. high mounted

Hopefully get off my arse this year and get the car to the standard i want. Few problems as in turbo smokes on boost in second gear and it needing some welding. Toying with the idea of getting a welder to fix it myself, not sure just yet.

Will get some more up to date pictures soon, but for the meantime heres a couple..






Managed to insure her today so all i need is to get her running again then an mot

Apologies for no photos of complete car, coming soon!

All for now!
