Yet ANOTHER car to add to the list of cars i've owned. But im sure this time im going to bond with it! It has lots of power and makes me smile everytime i drive it! (something I havent had with a car since my sil-80)
Heres the spec currently: (things in red are what i've discovered/changed/removed)
Engine:
13B-T Rotary Engine
HKS Mushroom Filter
HKS Dump Valve <- May be removing yet
Decat
Cat back exhaust with twin pipes <- Discovered to be a Kakimoto System
Uprated Diff <- Seems to be either a 1.5 or 2 way but havent identified whether its cusco or kaaz yet
Uprated Exedy clutch
Sure theres more done to the engine than has been listed....Need to check the ECU as theres no Fuel cut and no speed restricter and is definately running more than 200bhp+exhaust and breathing mods! (boost is still .75 bar)
Exterior
Front and rear Tow straps
Full BN Sports Bodykit
GarageBB.com BGW
Impreza clear front bumper Indicators custom mounted <- Going to look into something better suited
Fiat Bravo smoked side repeaters modified to create sidellights <- Going to look into something better suited
Domo Kun luck charm <- Removed and sentanced to death
Full custom graphics by stickmeup.co.uk <- Removed
Alloys
ABC Exclusive Alloys
18" x 10" Rear
18" x 9" Fronts <- Currently for sale and looking to change them for something aggressive
Suspension
Full Tein suspension with pillowball top mounts
Cusco front strut brace
Interior
Hydraulic Handbrake <- works ok, but think better rear pads are needed
HKS Boost Gauge <- Re-routed wire/hose and relocated gauge
HKS Turbo Timer
Bride drivers seat
Bride drivers side seat mount
Raceland 4 point harness
Carbon Centre Console <- Sold and replacing with standard fascia
Stereo relocated to glovebox <- Going back in the center console
Chrome Rear cage <- Needs moving further back as currently in the wrong position
Nardi personal Wheel <- Changing for something my taste (White vip wheel)
Still has the JDM rescue flare in footwell
Heres how it looked...as most probably remember:
All well and good for neil who used it to advertise his company etc...but the decals were not for me! So they had to come off.....
Here's how the car is currently sitting....But with more things to change yet... (eg, wheels...some more lows, and small tweaks here and there.....also 1 or 2 stickers left to remove!)
RIGHT, I 'THINK' the wiring is sorted.....me and Mark spent most of this morning tracing wiring and finding 'suspect' wiring.
What we found first off was a bit of a fucking joke to be honest and im not trying to point the finger here but all I will say is....If you CANT do wiring properly, DONT DO WIRING AT ALL!!!
Here's some pictures of what we found :wack:
The gauge wiring for Illumination into the cigarette lighter (twised together and barely taped to insulate)
The stereo had been relocated into the glove box....heres the wiring on the stereo loom (again just twisted together!)
I needed a few new tools for work, one being a crimper so took a trip out to get some supplies as we knew we'd be needing some crimps ETC to sort this!
We sorted all of that and put the car back together....seemed ok until i went to test drive, the fuse popped again within 1 minute.
So investigated further, we found twisted wires together on the tail lights, so Mark re-did the connections there.
I also found what i think was the main cause of the short wiring...The sidelight wiring was beyond a joke...Again twisted together....and one side even had NO insulation at all! The wires were melted abit so seemed they we short lol.
Pretty pissed off with what we found, but hopefully its all sorted now!
THEN
Wheels turned up:
Got fitted:
Needs to go a bit lower, but the teins are maxed out so looking at options regarding that.
Also need to bleed the brakes as the hydro isn't great. Or may need better pads for the rear.
Getting some sidelight lenses for the front bumper.
