You've filled out the swage lines in the front bumper, I was planning on doing this the xmas.

Also your seats, how are they mounted, I'm thinking of semi stripping mine. Just have seats harnesses but I want to use OEM runners if poss.

 

[gazcuprablk]

ye i flushed that in aswel as the number plate done it to my old black one and cleans it up a hell of a lot also de-textured my rear bumper and sideskirts and going to repaint the front and rear mouldings and the baseplates of my cup mirrors the same colour as the bay aswel as the cage when i buy one.

the seats are mounted on sidemounts and are bolted to the subframes i had with the old seats that bolt straight into the car have seen the genuine omp ones that bolt straight in are about £50-£60 each so bear that in mind when buying seats it all ads up

 

[joehirth]

So are there two pieces to the frames, the side mounts and subframe? Never touched seats before

 

[gazcuprablk]

the ones i have in my car now are the ones i had with the cobra seats i just got some measurements and drilled the holes where they needed to be and mirrored them on the other side, but if you buy the omp sidemounts there is no need for drilling as they are universal with other makes of seat

 

[joehirth]

Right so I should get myself some OMP sidemounts?

What about subframes then? Ideally I want to be able to use OEM runners

 

[gazcuprablk]

sorry i made it sound confusing you can use any sidemounts just make sure you buy the omp subframes they are on ebay for over £100 each but check strutbracer etc as ive seen them for £50 each

Nice one Gaz, stick with it

 

[gazcuprablk]

So I got off my lazy arse and fitted the engine took all of 2 hours lol turbo has about 10mm of room to bulkhead so plenty of room only problem I have is that the turbo sits close to the pipes going to the heater matrix

 

[joehirth]

Similar to mine, think they all do when going BT. Thought about making a heat guard or wrapping everything in heatwrap? Or just be done with heating and remove the pipes.

 

[gazcuprablk]

heres a few snaps had to upload them all to my laptop from my iphone as i have no idea how to do it any other way lol

im off to get a list now of bits that i need to finish it off i may remove the heaters all together but id rather keep them as you cant beat some comfort when on the way to shows
