Wow. long time since i updated so long had sift 4 pages for it..

Anyway got these beautys through today.. Cobra Misanos biggrin

Had to take a picture of them getting throught the door as it was a big day, been a long time waiting for these.



And heres a few pictures of them, the photographs really dont do them justice. The carbon fibre shell is amazing and the seats are just WoW, well worth the money.










Also got some top of the range covers for them.



hope you like ...

Sell the cage and the stereo stuff and buy a set of TB'Sdriving
Now i will and have sold the cage, but why oh why would i want to by TB's when the car is a "show car" with 18s. That would be doing the totall opposite to what i am working towards.

Maybe my next project will be a full on track car wink
Show the engine aswell then

Well if your building a car that is a "show car" dont people at these "shows" want to see whats been done to the engine as youve spent st loads on everything else by the looks of it!. or are these "shows" like a fibreglass convention? full of spotty fktards with there 14 year old Girlfriends.

Why the bad attitude little guy, sounds like your the pubecent teen here. I am no 14yr old, and not spotty i myself think im good looking biggrin

But no engine bays dont really get put on show for a car like this as no big engine works has been done, and being the colour scheme of the car is a main part to see then im not going to have my bonnet propped up am i !? Plus my car has got Hardly and fiberglass my friend NO bodykits on here.

You need to come into the 21st century and stop being so narrow minded.

Not so sure I'd be trying to take the high-ground here. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, even if they don't need to be so aggressive with it.

You're going to open yourself up to a fair bit of deserved ridicule when you actually consider it a sane idea to use scaffolding as a pseudo roll-cage. Seriously, scaffolding? You might have sold it but you still did it, that one's with you and your automotive history for a very, very long time...

Look mate, i think i been quite reserved in some of the comments i replied to and i know alot of people wouldnt be so polite in some of the comments i get which i find are uncalled for.
Like i say i am open to constructive critisism or advice but his comment was not that.

As for the cage it is SOLD, and the pictures where not from MY car. It was from another members car from the Netherlands, so ok i was a bit nuts in thinking it would work with the interior i am planning but its all trial and error.

Ok been a long time since i updated so here goes..

Car has finallly been put back on the road after being SORN for about 7 months. Its going to Xquisite in Croydon this month for a new respray and some little touches and also bigger solenoids(door poppers) for the doors, it should be there for about 2wks. Then its off to get the dash, doorcards and audio build so i will keep u updated on them when the time comes.

Also finally after about 5 wks waiting got my new rims. I did order black but i got chrome and being they are bespoke it was a bit awkward changing the order so i settled in the end for chrome and i think they should look just as good.


















Hope u like biggrin

well you'rs doing sometthing different, but surely with the money you've spent you could have afforded to buy and insure an e36 m3? thus being quicker and looking a million times better?

I think he's more fussed about its visual appearance rather than whats under the bonnet.

before you fit the wheels you nneed to get some big breaks to fit behind them. one thing i dont like on modiifed cars is seeing small breaks behind big wheels.

car looks awsome and i love the seats

I got that sorted wink If you look back a few pages you will see i purchased a set of Brembo 4pots with 305mm discs, but sadly i lost soem money on them as i had to sell them due to them no fitting correctly and i was not going to chance milling them down to fit.

So i am going to save up and purchase a set of AP Racing 6 pot calipers with 335mm 2piece discs.

Think they should do biggrin

I know this is slightly OT (and maybe a bit mean), but how about giving the car a rest for a few days and sorting your pad out? I wouldn't let my dog live in a place so minty, and I don't even own a dog!

You could even use the scaffoldingcage to reach up into the corners of the ceiling

Should leave the money hanging out of the wheels, very metaphorical wink.

It's two turbo's short of what I'd do if i was in your position, but thats not the case! Hope it all works out well, nice to see someone doing what THEY want.

You cheeky F*ker. My room is perfectly clean, dont know what you are seeing :s And use my scaffolding which i sold for a profit ages ago if you read the thread. And if you clean your ceiling then your a strange person biggrin

Yeah thanks mate, im sure the car will come all together like i want it, as i take alot of thought into each part of the car to get it perfectly how i want it.

As for seeing these rims on that car, i would be suprised if they are the same rims in all fairness. Anychance you could get me a quick picture
