Hoping to get something done to the front as of the nice weather we're having over here at the mo

I've sanded down flat the filler yestaday, no point showing pics yet. Will get pics once I've primered and painted.

Also, as of the nice weather my valve cover needs a paint job. Here's a little teaser of what's comming up...




Combine the two and see if you can work it out

So anyway, my Skunk2 Battery Tie Down came today, what a waste of cash oh well lol. One thing though, this thing is so light! Much lighter than the OEM part, this is so light, you can't tell it's in your hand





Installed...

As of the nice weather today, I stripped out the back of my car...







Any ideas on what this box does? and I'm thinking of mounting it behind where it is, I'm going to do a wiretuck, anyone got a guide? I really don't know where to mount the wires in the middle

Also anyone else whose done this before, how did you get them shitty black pads off that are stuck to the floor? Is their an easy way of doing this?

After going out today, I'm thinking of carpeting the rear as it's noisy. but IDK yet. No haters about the lame bolts holding on the spoiler, I know about these and need to change them.

Next up, X-brace and roll cage ... when I have the cash

Wouldn't it be cool if you could get a see through tank cover made from plexi-glass or something.

- Tue May 13, 2008 8:55 pm #55099 Yo Jon, where did you re-locate yours?

Also is their a wire tuck guide on these forums? Thanks for the tip on removing the black shit, i'll give this ago some time when I can borrow my friends heat gun attacking it with a flat head, wont that damage the paint? I'm still thinking of carpeting the floor to give it a clean look, but I'm sure this wont matter when I get the roll cage anyway.

Does anyone know of a decent company that make real roll cages and not show cages? OMP makes them and can ship to me, I noticed on eBay, but the guy said when I contacted him that they make cages to fit cars without sunroofs, which I have



I'm after a full cage that goes to the front and back, including door bars.

Next up, which will be tomorrow is to clean things up in the back. I really need to get that black shit off and I need some discs for the angle grinder to remove the brackets for the rear seats. I'll proberly keep the bracket that holds the spare wheel in place, for MOT reasons, incase they bitch it requires a spare to pass it's test.

This is just a sample because he makes them how you want them
If you want a miracle x replica he will make it.
He can make them in alluminium and stainless steel

- Wed May 14, 2008 11:37 am #55287 hot or cold, both will remove the sound proof.

only reason why i said use the heat gun is because the weather has been quite good in the UK the past week or so.... i doubt your going to get a cold enough morning to be able to use the cold air to chip it away.

the dry ice is the best i have seen and read about to use... but... its nearly impossable to get any here in the UK. unless you work for a company that uses dry ice.


that brace looks f*cking qaulity and i would defo be interested in one... as slip said, get some prices dude.


slip - i havent re-located the ads ecu yet, tbh it does really bother me that much. neither do the wires hanging about...

using a flat head screw driver may chip the paint work underneith the sound proof but most people tend to re-paint the interior once they have stripped it.

i want to paint mine matt black but im lazy
