    Very good idea! Love it. Haha you're rates are extremely competitive. I may be away with work during Japfest but I'll see if I can rearrange. Because that's a cracking plan!

    I hope the person who gets this keeps it in the same condition as it's mint and not a penny spared in it's creation.

    adamj29 got a reaction from Quball in Duraflex wide body kit   
    Yeah the US forum are the best place for advise on spec for wide body kits. Other than the standard cutting / grinding and welding required to fit the arches, I needed extensive modifications to be carried out to the front arches as there was too much negative offset on them. They eventually fitted. 
    My wheel specs are: Front - 18 x 9.5 ET -36 Rear - 18 x 10.5 ET -47
    The rear wheels needed around -5.5 camber to get them to fit. So if you want to use it for the track, or as a practical car then go for more positive offset. But at least you know the limitations of what can be used.

    Adam had to cut half his normal arches apart to get his wheels to fit, might not be the best example!

    The world is very small.....?  Ive been snowed in the last couple of days, as I always do with my down time Ive been searching the net for new ideas for my next car.  I see your car on YouTube getting detailed and thought YES...!  Thats what I want.
    So I spent all day yesterday researching the right donor car, for both a wide body and a turbo conversion looking at parts and the right guys to carry the work out.
    I just happened to find this particular forum, thought id sign up and have a look to see whats about and found your car up for sale, crazy..!
    Keep in touch with me, I need to get my car prepped and ready for sale in the early summer, if she is still up, give me a call, ill buy it..!
    All the best, good luck.

    The main road (leading to the train station) has parking either side of it, and has loads of free spaces usually. So that's our best bet. Other than that there is a small car park around the back, but that never usually has any spaces. And it is rather cosy.

    That was a good one, I'll give you that 😂
    I used the HKB boss kit. Really easy to fit to be fair. Yeah Lauren, you can get the cruise control to fit, just takes a bit of DIY. It requires a remap, I had mine done at Fensport when having the turbo fitted. I have to now push the accelerator to the floor and press the heated windscreen button to change maps. I feel like James Bond everytime. 😉

    I picked up the beast today, a few random pictures of it after picking her up and washing her.


    Unfortunately the pictures don't do her justice. She is fat, so so fat. I've had to readjust the way I drive, making sure I keep my distance from the kerbs.
    More decent photos to follow as I'm off to a car meet in Liverpool tomorrow.

    Been a while since I've done an update. Not a lot has happened as such with the build. A few decals have been applied for extra bhp, and I've been messing around with the suspension set up. She's also been featured in this months Banzai magazine.
    As I've been attending a number of car shows, I seem to be continually altering the ride height. Low for the show and then raise it up for daily use. As much as I love my coilovers, I am rather tempted by the ease of air suspension. This would make it would so much easier, as most of you know the car isn't set up for the track, I seem to be enjoying the show scene at the moment.
    Although after speaking to a representative of Air Lift Performance at FittedUK last weekend, It's very interesting to see how far their management systems have come over the past few years. Food for thought.
    Here are a few pictures of the last few shows and a few from Banzai:

    Watched it on iplayer last night - pretty poor.
    The old TG had lost its way many years ago and had become a parody of itself; this was depressingly similar.
    Either make a new show or let this one die.
