:thumbs: liking the grille mate, looks better now you've put the nissan badge in there too.

Thanks dude Stufa is bringing me some gti seats and exhaust in the new year, combined with a manifold I should be starting on performance now

 

[edk]

Awesome. 2009 looks to be a good year all round for AOC. Lots happening to different cars. Superchargers, turbos, engine conversions, remaps... bring it on!

Gone are your days of being called 'foggy' eh?

 

[Hopelessness]

Haha yes indeed, might sound a bit out of reach, but my target is to be able to keep up with a standard GTi... Hoping to get around 120bhp out of the engine, and it'll be around 250-300kg lighter so I'm hoping it's not too far fetched

Thanks man, what's historical about it then?

Well it was on a standard P2, then pablo got it out of a scrappy and had it on his car, then I had it for a while and gave it to Tommo, then he has sold it on to you. Slag parts FTW!

Pic of my new rocker cover. The pink lines represent where I'm going to build some shiny black boxes to tidy up the engine bay a bit Also should be cleaning the whole thing up a bit too haha

 

[tommo]

nice. think ive got a k&n panel filter if your interested phil. that or my bmc that makes a fuckin ace noise :lol:

 

[Hopelessness]

Oooh how much for the bmc?

 

[Hopelessness]

Just a few recent pics of the GX since I got it lowered and fixed my minor front end damage. Any suggestions for what to do next? I've got exhaust and induction kit coming soon, so what do you reckon?

Excuse the shitty pics :lol:

 

[inahole]

Spacers? lol.

I'd like to see it with a black bonnet.

 

[Hopelessness]

At £70? Probably worth more than the car lol

 

[inahole]

Nah, I'd give 80 all day long for it!

 

[shaggy_master]

Its starting to look Good mate
Its at this stage where you will just start going mad on it hahaha
If I were you i'd be doing:
-Intake and exhaust (which you've got sorted.. Good laddd)
-Sort yourself out another sexy grille.
-GTi style your headlights and indicators maybe?
-Buy a cheap can of spray paint and cover that black mess on the arches! Lol

Apart from those little niggles mate its looking great
Joe

 

[craiGTi]

looks good mate

black vinyl between rear windows

maybe some colour coding - door handles etc

ditch the tow bar

 

[Hopelessness]

Cheers joe, in responce:

Intake and exhaust, as above
Sexy grille, find me a Ph2 grille and I'll be right on it
Not sure about GTi styling the healights, don't think it works as well on red as it does other colours
Hopefully gonna get kristian to fix the sills and spray it back to stock look

Then might get a GA16... or even an SR20? Who knows...

Edit: Craig, got the vinyl, just need the time lol, colour coding, quite possibly And towbar? I tried, and failed. Anyone want to take a grinder to it is 100% welcome.

 

[shaggy_master]

GTi colour coded wing mirrors also, and possibly ditch the GA14 inside emblem.
