Sun was out today so dropped the roof down for the afternoon and took a few pics

could do wih a good clean as i havnt had the time lately but not working this weekend so will be getting a good clean up before going into the bodyshop

had a big set back with an insurance hike so had to pull out of buying the hardtop id bagged from Paul (Z3I) Being a gent he knidly offered my deposit back in full. nice genuine fella and no doubt will be the man i contact when i do get round to getting one again.

managed to find a little time during work to fit the rear head rest kit and headrests that have been sitting in a cupboard for a month along with some clear side repeaters.

Anyway heres a few pics from today

One of the 6 Pot

in desperate need of an LSD as the 4.10 diff is dying lol and its costing me a small fortune being in such high revs all the time, 3.64 LSD to come over the weekend

After alot of thought and some time scanning through pics of cabs wiith and without spoilers i have decided not to have a spoiler so the original Tech II spoiler will go in the garage and the fibre glass crap will go in the bin!

This is what happens to small case diffs used with a 2.7...

Yes,they are input shaft bearing rollers that have passed through the diff cage to end up enbedded on the inside of the rear cover,you have now been warned!

i think its fair to say the small case diff is ready to give up :lol:

i have bought a 3.64 LSD from Mick_318is

so that will be getting fitted next weekend and the current diff will be in the bin lol

have you collected the Diff yet ?

Post Sat Apr 02, 2011 5:16 pm

Well early this morning I dropped the cabby off at a mates bodyshop to have a bit of work done

Jobs include having passenger side rear arch repaired due to a bad repair by the previous owner which has now fell apart

Having the front arches rolled and the grills and eyebrows sprayed in black to freshen up the front end

And having Tech II kit sprayed and fitted along with removal of the Tech II spoiler and having no spoiler back on.

3.64 LSD and Gaz Gold Coilovers will be arriving next week too

should be picking up Thursday, Pics to follow.

Post Sat Apr 02, 2011 7:07 pm

cant wait to see the tech 2 kit on it

Post Wed Apr 06, 2011 9:20 pm

Dropped the cabby off at the bodyshop on saturday and after being stuck in a 1.0L corsa for the week i was more than happy to recieve the call today letting me know it was ready to pick up

Had Tech II kit fitted, boot spoiler removed, grills and eyebrows freshened up in satin black, front arches rolled and had the passenger side rear arch repaired. Hes done a great job and im over the moon with it.

suprised how much of a difference it makes having no spoiler, i think it looks 100% better

anyways enough waffle, heres afew pics. not the best as was just outside the bodyshop but ill get some better pics up tomorrow

Also took delivery of a 3.64 LSD today to replace the small case diff, And a set of Gaz Gold Coilovers

how much they charging? mine could do with a fresh one as its got a few marks and the rear windows cloudy

Fitting was £200 including fitting new seals and tension straps, not bad as it took them 2 and a half days. I sourced the roof and bits myself, got it from BAS and seems to be really good quality.

Post Mon Apr 11, 2011 12:39 pm

looks great

since its got the whole tech II kit i would refit the spoiler and some 15" bbs, would look awsome like that i recon

Post Mon Apr 11, 2011 12:54 pm

Spoiler wont be fited again, since choosing not to have the spoiler i love the look and think the cabby does not suit a spoiler

Thanks for all the coments

Looks awesome mate!! How much did they roll the arches?

Watch the lower valance on the tech 2 kit. Had mine fitted and back from the bodyshop and scratched it on a speed bump and then kerb in a car park the other day.

Cant believe i did it and i wouldn't wish that feeling on anyone!

No spoiler ftw
