Lee P Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Ricky got a black carpet to go in and I had a couple of amps to fit so the interior was stripped. The control box for the gauges was tucked down the side of the trans tunnel behind the carpet so I relocated it to the glove box. In the top pic you can see on the centre panel by the gear stick, a previous owner had super glued something to the panel and it had left a nasty patch. We repaired the panel, sanding the it down, painting and retexturing it to look like stock. Carpet removed Amps wired in. Black carpet fitted Battery relocated to the boot, mounted in a custom battery tray. Sub fitted, have Jamies box at the moment but may be making another one with an Alpine sub if Jamie wants it back. Boot panel cut to fit battery and sub. Interior refitted, wouldnt even no its all in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricky49 Posted January 1, 2011 Author Share Posted January 1, 2011 I just want a crazy power road car, I like it to be around 800-850 but my problem would be traction, I dont fancy doing the wide carbon arch mod so I will be stuck with 11.5'' rears.

JamieP Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 My advice would be leave it as it is and enjoy it for a while, at least that way it will give you time to get use to the power, 850bhp is a handful, mine trys to kill me at all opportunities.

Ricky49 Posted January 2, 2011 Author Share Posted January 2, 2011 Been over to see Lee and the car today. I'm loving the way it's looking now, jamies old Advans look great against the silver body. Also spoke with Lee about doing the twin fan set up so once I have all the Unorthadox lightened pulleys and billet tensioner bracket I will be going with that.
