DaveR Posted September 2, 2013 Author Share Posted September 2, 2013 They do look very impressive when fitted don't they Dave, it gives the car an updated fresher look, glad you liked the way it fits! Oh and your write ups are great by the way, keep them coming! Oh yes, it looks SO much better! Just the way the stock one gathers leaves / other miscellaneous debris is enough to drive a man mad...

DaveR Posted September 3, 2013 Author Share Posted September 3, 2013 Scuttle panel write-up edited to include a new pic of the stock panel hinge recess for comparison. In other news, I've just ordered one of SRD's alloy engine undertrays, which should be with me either tomorrow or the day after. To spray or not to spray...?

thetrashcanman Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 spray what colour? Have to say I'm not a fan of the bare metal, but I've only seen it on a black or white car, think it might work as bare metal on a silver car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parry_10 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Car is looking good as always Dave. Id leave the undertray as it is because if you get any sort of leaks you will realise straight away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to say I'm not a fan of the bare metal, but I've only seen it on a black or white car, think it might work as bare metal on a silver car. Hence the dilemma. I'm considering spraying the inside (top, if you will) black but I'm not sure... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean about the leaks but I keep a close eye on all that sort of stuff anyway as part of 'pre-flight checks'... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black is a good call, possibly, maybe put it on the car first if its not to much hassle and see how it looks, if you don't like it paint it, crackle black maybe?

Crackle black would be REAL attention to detail! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveR Posted September 5, 2013 Author Share Posted September 5, 2013 I decided to leave it as bare alloy to see how I get on with the under-engine shininess, but I got my SRD alloy engine undertray fitted earlier today along with conducting a well-deserved oil & filter change. I was hugely impressed with the fit and finish of this part - no messing around or re-drilling / cutting of anything, it just offered up perfectly first time and bolted into place like a stock part.

thetrashcanman Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I thought you had already uprated the diff after your Santa pod episode? I think he got a Big Case, needs an OS Giken or TRD I'm guessing? and Nah Dave, just do it all at once Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Whiffin Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 I thought you had already uprated the diff after your Santa pod episode? Nope just a standard big case diff went in for the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm - FINALLY - on leave again in a week so I can look at getting my (sizeable) deposit back from where it went EIGHT MONTHS AGO - - and then giving Paul a call about the long overdue OS Giken 1.5 way going in. Expect that call soon, Mr Whiffin! Uh, we may be talking about cylinder heads too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveR Posted April 6, 2014 Author Share Posted April 6, 2014 Stunning car! Thanks. Good grief that's a long wait and stroker too? Yes it is. It's largely my fault for not chasing it up. There were a few emails back and forth initially and then I got really busy and then it was Christmas and then I got busy again and now it's, well, now...! But hopefully my going on leave will bring the ability to get my deposit back and then I can fire it straight to Paul to get Suki ready for a summer of fun.

DaveR Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 Right. My MOT is booked for next week (thanks Benjy ), before which there will be some polishing to do under the bonnet - assuming the rain EVER stops... - and then I think it's time to treat Suki to some new goodies seeing as she's basically just sat idle for a good number of months now. The priority is still a new LSD (once I've sorted out getting my deposit back from TDI) and then, in no particular order, I think it's time for some new engine mounts, a ti exhaust and a Stage 3/4 cylinder head... Stand by for some business, Mr Whiffin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
