Little update, as you know if you read through i primed my New Cesaro alloys yesterday.

Well they are all sprayed up now and fitted

I didnt pay much attention to them as its coming up to winter and there only gonna get manky, so gave them a couple coats of flat white and a layer of lacquer. They will be getting sprayed properly at the end of season towards summer time. But here they are getting fitted

Overall im really happy with them and think they make a huge differenc compared to my other ones. Ill let you decide

im saying, your cars look smart, just the wheel whores stickers look out of place..

there aimed for cars with mad/different wheels, and more euro cars, even though they have been done to death now and look abit anyway..

just look out of place on a corsa gsi with cesaros thats all..

Postman Delivered my triple Gauge pod this morning so i could get on with that today

Gauges arrived on Tuesday so was a bit gutted i couldn't do it then, but everything is here to be getting on with, some people may think its OTT but got a cracking price on them and the Gauge holder is now discontinued so saw it as a bargain @ £15!!

So got on with the wiring etc and fitted them in car all working, exept Fuel/Air ratio which needs tapping into Lambda sensor so will crack on with that soon

huh

how is wheel whores jsut for mad different wheels and euro cars?

yea a majority of the build threads... for sale threads etc are to do with the euro/dub scenes, but it isnt all about that atall, its in the title "wheel" whores, i guarantee u can find a set of standard vw, audi, merc, porsche, bentley, toyota, nissan wheels on there!

i think the sticker looks good bud

Havent updated in a while so here is a couple of new extras

Took rocker cover off for a repaint, has turned out ok, but im not 100% happy with it so gonna get it painted proffesionally but overall im happy with it for the time being.

Rocker Cover off:




Painted



Fitted:



Decided to give the Inlet a lick of paint too and fit a 45 degree steel inlet hose

The postman then arrived with my Exhaust Manifold, wasn't in the best nick but after a sand down and a few coats of HT paint this is the end result





Just need to get this fitted and then that'll probably be it for the winter. Getting the decat pipe taken out next week and having a sports cat fitted as its overfuelling slightly and i hate the rasp its makes

Watch this space as I be purchasing a carbon bonnet and coilovers soon enough

Oh and the wheels have been lacquered up now and are nice and shiny will get pics up when i get a chance

They come with a small ammount of wire on the back of them but no way enough to fit them properly, you need to cut and splice together your own loom. Its not particularly hard
