Got a long long way to go and loads to do before it is running.

Should go well once the nitrous is on, then just need my cage :)
 
spot on mate - get a dash tho please
 
like the engine and nos ideas mate, but looks abit poo without the dash. i did that to a merit i had when i was 17. trust me it aint pleseant riding round with no heater or owt. it pis*es u rite off after a week lol
 
Yeah needs a flocked dash for the proper racing look. But if your dumping the dash y on earth are you keeping the mfd lol
 
:cool:

I say it depends what your using it for mate, would look good with no dash and just a few small gauges (rather that the clocks) :nod:
 
No dash is the future folks, can't says its 'properly' stripped out otherwise ;)
Been running with noting but the dash and front seats for a few months anyway, and the heaters don't work so am not too fussed about losing them considering the weight saving :D

Keeping the TID/MFD so that I have a clock in the car :p

Going full cage in the next few months, may do a custom dash panel or chop down a dash to flock at some point, I like it like this though :D
 
woo... a lot more room with out dash lol
 
To sya the least Lee...yup! Considering going 5 stud with 16" steels, and making it look completely standard again :nod:

Yeah most likely mate, I lead a small convoy of some of the Brum lot down, saw how crap it was and left after about half an hour :lol:

True sleeper AL. Looks proper track / rally slag and like you say its not stripped until everything (even the MFD ;) ) is out.

I like your idea with the 16s too.

Thought I recognised it, yeah it wasnt too great after the police blocked the entrances :doh:
 
I got out literally JUST before that, Volvo tried to pull in front of me so I did a bit of curb mounting and leathered it out along the fun roads towards Henley lol
You'll have to come up to Brum with the Volvo dude!

@ vle41m cheers dude, as I said, I only want the MFD for the clock/date purposes lol. Looks quite good as I have red LED's in it anyway :)

Haha good lad, yeah it got a bit tame after that, everyone headed down to the Morrisons carpark afterwards. Still had fun hooning it around in my mates LET Corsa B, and another mates 2litre 8valve Corsa B.
Yeah i'll have to come up your way , i'll probably be driving around everywhere for a while playing with/gettig used to 2litre power and RWD hehe
