Here are my latest 2 small bits for my car.

Grafix on my sunstrip(thanks to martin at SPLAT)





And a nice little bit of damage from the railing at the end of my cul-de-sac style road

nice mate, nice! the tissues on the dash r the funkiest mod goin! Incredible! (har ha!)

sweet sunstrip mate different to most of the cruisewirral ones

Doing another (un)modification to the car tomorrow. Gonna put the cat back on to improve fuel consumption and give it a more bassy note instead of the massively loud rassp it has now. I dont like it. Its cool when it backfires all the time but just sounds awful under acceleration.Let you know how good the new note is tomorrow

Just given shrek another handful of coice mods these include




1.Changed my black no-tacho dials for a white set including rev counter from my mates 1.8Si. Lush looking(also repaired heater illumination while i was back there)

2. Chopped top 2 inches of shift lever so the knob has a shorter throw and looks 10x better with the gaitor all scrunched up sporty style.

3. Got official Fod footmats in the front from mates wrecked Si

4. Binned that awful parcel shelf and started to install 6x9's in 4x6 holes in the boot trim. Also tidied the boot loads while i was at it.

5. Broke my clifford plastic trim that goes around the LED. It flew around the car too so its lost


All in all interior now looks fab

Pics on saturday

scoop its lookin good hunnie. hay drive it to the wedding lol

Ive been at it again, Now my exhaust has been unmodified by refitted the cat.

It took a while and was a pain in the ass but not it is complete.
Done it for the mot but it will not be gettin de-catted again as i believe it sounds 10x better with it.

Economy should pick up and the sound is a lot more bassy and smooth,sporty is the way.Cant hear the zorst when the stereo is set to 19/35 or above, Little bit raspy when stationary reving but on the move it is smove hehe.

Me and my unmodification is goin to get me a green standard car in about 3 months if i keep goin.

i luv ur spoiler scoop!

Cheers sazzykins but u wouldnt wanna see the underside of it


Speaking of which i tidied my boot up today and moved my sub to face across the car left to right. Leavin me with a fait bit o luggage space. Also moves the front lockwood grill forward so it is more flush with the bonnet/bumper line. Sanded the spoiler back a little bit too so hopefully it will stop rubbin the rear wings. (WAS VERY POORLY FITTED BY MY LEAST FAVORITE BODYSHOP IN THE WHOLE WORLD)and they refused to fix it. WEll they can F off i will do it meself

As for the front bumper the filler has small lines in it that are the filler cracking

I hat fibreglass(and dodgy peeps who claim they can fix it when they cant)

Oh my god im good.

Today i wired up my rev counter all by myself.( im a big boy)checked the wiring diagram in the haynes manual and put a wire between the clocks and the ECU.

Problem lay in the fact that the ECU had a protective shroud round it that was riveted to the ECU holder.After 4 hours of bending,drilling and bolt-cropper usage the shroud came away and i got the wire spliced into the ECU.For some reason there was a cable in the whole but it does not appear behind the clocks so i had to use new wire. Kapron aircraft wiring to be precise.Gucci stuff.

Doing this involved having the ECU disconnected and the battery was of all day.ECU's forget there programming after 8 hours so upon restartin the car for the first time the car had to map the fuelling again from what all the sensors told it. This means that it is a lot better to drive,took ages to find idle when i first started it but thats normal and it idols at about 900 nice and smooth

Rev counter is come in very useful and ive found my power band 3900-5000.

Tightened handbrake today too and fitted Si interior lights(includes 2 readin lamps and clearer filters so the light is more brite!)


Also got rid of the interior sun strip tint as instucted and it actually loox better. Dont wanna take the CW and FR of tho.We'll have to see wot mot guy sez!

Im gettin real good at this DIY stuff

Black betty bambalam!!!!!!!!

Dials fully workin now!!!

Lookin sweet matey, now you can see what revs you are actually doin
