DDS789's Evo V

[foxy lady x]

Very nice. It's all about the little touches they all add up and make a car special

That splitter will "evil" yours up. It already looks like a TA car will do more so when your finished!

Hope so, i Just need lights, but not sure on clear side lights, or all in ones :meh:

 

[DDS789]

Are you talking about your indicator lights?

 

[foxy lady x]

Yea, cause they are orange and I don't like them

 

[DDS789]

Ha well I'd be inclined to say go for clear ones like mine and don't go 1 piece

Sometime the orange looks good on the white cars but you'd have to go orange side repeaters and original rear lights. Yours will defo suit clear sides, nice and cheap to do too :angel:

The back lights are clear, the side repeaters are clear too so thats whats making me think clear side lights Decisions decisions hmmm lol

 

[DDS789]

Decision is made foxy, clear side lights! Get it done :razz:

I think you should get some bought right now :awesome:

 

[foxy lady x]

Hmmmm I'm going to sleep on it lol

 

[DDS789]

Lol ok. To be fair it will look good either way you go just get some good pics taken unlike me, I always forget to take them :shock:

Few more bits done over the weekend.

Got the correct bolts for my steering wheel.

Without horn fitted it looked like this, raw race style

So bolts, horn and ring fitted

Also got some new Enkei stickers delivered, custom made for me

Fitted, ignore the rusty brakes had just cleaned the car

Want to refurb the brembos with black stickers. The brembo emblams were supposed to be white but have turned orange

Thanks for looking :awesome:

 

[foxy lady x]

[DDS789]

I'll be sleepless Sunday night, track day at blyton Monday :awesome: I get to drive like a loon for a day

They are getting re furbed and a colour change

Ah track day eh, bet you can't wait ! I loved it when I took Ellie round castle Coombe, need to do it again soon the buzz is awesome

Another small mod update

Original plan was to switch the bearings round at the front in the hunt of the vibration when I corner hard right. But this happened to my breaker bar :cry:

So got on with some other jobs and oil service :angel:

Had these delivered from Neverneverman. 50mm Gear shifter raisers :awesome:

Had to do quite a few modifications to the shifter base and shave a few bits down to retain the interior area so took some time but here's a couple pics.

Serious trimming to accommodate the higher position of the frame (all cleaned up after ) had to trim more out, just kept on trial fitting taking it off trimming down etc etc

Raisers in place rubbish pic as the camera wouldn't pic them up black on black

Finished product

Shows how much closer to the wheel it is :awesome:

Also going to get a universal gaiter to cover the housing up, my old one just didn't quite fit.

I regret getting 50mm as I think 40mm wouldn't require hardly any trimming. You'd also struggle going more than 50mm as its hard to pass the cables by certain parts, stripped out racer would be fine mind :razz:

Thanks for looking

Ayup Dan it's Nick from Gainsborough! (had the DC2/S2K)

Car is looking real nice now, saw you in town a few months back sounded fantastic!

I tried to message you on facebook the other day but i don't think the message sent, i'm still on the look out for a 5/6 so let me know when you are next about town.

Blyton is a bloody god send, can't believe it's right on our doorstep!

I was up there with work around a month ago doing some testing on the infield section whilst a turbo'd time attack S2000 was doing some testing on the proper track, looks like awesome fun!

I had a cheeky lap around there with Dan before it opened last year popped up to see what it was looking like and is it Richard who owns it? Really top bloke let us have a shifty around!

I've never actually done a proper track day so I think will have to give it a miss until I get used to driving a 4wd car with some power! I will pop up on the 10th though and have a watch!

How does it fair on track, Brakes/Tyre wise? I guess it depends how long you stay out in each session. On the plus side don't have far to limp home incase things go Tits up!

Also just looking at your gear shifter set-up, I made the same kind of set up for my old 106 xsi! Just made some spacers out of ally round bar at work and lifted it up, worked a treat so looks like i've found the first free mod to do to my evo when I get it

 

[DDS789]

Mines fine on the track mate blitzed a lot cars on the days I've been.

Running ksports all round now, I cooked the brembos last time! But they didn't lose any performance just went through a slight colour change lol.

Yoko AD08 tyres too they love it.

But my car is not standard, full geo, coilovers, arb, all sorts lol.

I just didn't have anything to make the spacers with. Takes a fair bit of fiddling and modding but is easy enough with the right mind at work.

You need to get one bought mate, stop searching on the typical places and search within MLR I got mine with a Wanted thread and was offered about 6 minters!
