1.3cams
remote central lock system like moddedmicra lol_/

looking good mate (Y) good plans too :D add an open mouth grille to the list aswell i recon :D

and de-bumpstripping (Y)
 
you've gotta start somewhere, and this is as good as anywhere :) ...no need to worry about your current knowledge either, cos you'll soon start to figure things out the more you fiddle with the car.
 
looks good, a good basic car to start with :) i love these little 1.0l models because i cant help but see tones of modding potental in them, they are so simple that you could do anything with them, not like the Si with air con and pas etc..

mine and my mum si dont have aircon or pas. some si's didnt come with them. lol but i know what your saying, tbh wish i had a base model to start, then i wouldve probs fitted a lip spoiler like his. and base models are the best to have if your stripping and loosing weight ;)
 
yer, its lovely n light :p cant wait to have more done.

Im starting to hear a slight knocking i hopew its not my cams :(
anyone else have slight knocking/rattle?
cheers
 
im gonna put an aftermarket steering wheel on aswell change the pedals stuff like that :D
cant wait lol,
any plans for yours when ya get it?
 
awesome, done some cleaning on the engine bay today looks alrite just wanna know how to get a great shiny finish on the rocker cover!
 
Do you mind me asking how much they were? I just went to halfords to get some but they were 19.99. Other almost identical ones were reduced to a tenna
 
Update

lookin good...how did you go about getting the strips off?
Click to expand...

just use a credit card of some sort, i used my phone top up card and snapped it :S but dont ripp them off as the paint can come off aswell go slow. then once off use label remover or t-cut/ super resin polish and start using the card agian to ridd of the sticky spongey stuff.
 
yer im gonna next, i used a plastic knife lol dint scratch or anything and i used autoglym tar remover and t-cut, worked great :)
cheers for lookin guys
 
Heres a small update just added an oil breather filter lol

n cheers joe!

mark

PS ill get some proper pictures in the morning to give the full effect so to speak! lol
 
another small update, i bought some simple wheel trims that were the same look as alloy i want so i bought them and put them on to see what it would look like and i really like the result so i think i will go ahead with them in 14s or something, what do you guys think?

cheers mark

cheers for looking
mark

also needs a damn good wash n wax
 
Coming along nicely, I used to have those wheel trims, lol. Great paint job on the surround and console, I've just repainted mine because I'm build in the undercar kit control box into it.

Did the paint stick okay to the ashtray?
 
it took a few coats on the ashtray i had to give it a rub down inbetween and before coats after that it was ok!
 
Ive started colour coding now and ive started off with the boot handle,
here is a pic of when i started,
DSC00353.jpg


ill post up some more pics when its finished and installed cheers
mark.
