You'll have fun getting in if you end up getting a cage as well!!
Lol
Might look for a rear cage.
But a full cage looks miles more 'ard :D
Lookin good Ads, methinks it would be better with a nice welded in strut brace to mount the harnesses on?
Will see you next week to sort out the MJ
Aye, a welded in brace would be cool.
I'd still bolt the harnesses to the floor mounts tho!
Ok mate, no probs, just give me a ring sometime :)
Fitted the boot solenoid today, worked fine first time :D
Few pics(i will do a how-to guide when i get time)

The bottom bracket i had to make from some scrap mild steel, you dont see it with the trim panel fitted, so alls good :)
its in there and it works, so thats all that matters :) as you say will be hidden by the boot panel anyway.
:cool:
Right, time for another update. Sold my 4-1 manifold, and will be selling the Ashley system too. As im getting a custom Stainless 2.25" system, and manifold made to fit the system off a guy on mig. Hopefully i'll receive it, and have it fitted before the RR day.
Now with black buckets, the blue door cards etc etc didn't fit in very well.
So i decided get black panels. Found some gsi rear arch carpets on mig.

Got those sprayed up black along with the parcel shelf supports(colour looks a perfect match for gsi IMO)

Just need do the rear cards black, and fit some gsi front door cards now.
Also picked up a very good condition dash from a 5dr in the scrappy(mine was marked/ripped in places):

Thats going black too lol
And finally, got a chrome fuel cap, looked a bit chavvy tho, so it was sanded down, and sprayed up gloss black(which is what colour the bumpers and wheels will be soon)

Im also tempted to get some gsi rear seats, and fit those. They'll never be used, but will match the now black interior, and reduce noise.....
That is all for now :)
Black stuff looks spot on Adam. Is it a fabric/interior spray?
GSi seatbacks weigh a tonne too. I'd find a way of lightening them up some how.
if you wannt reduce noise, just carpet the back out with accostic carpet, will look good, too..
better than what it would with harness's going though the back seats etc etc
then get your spare cesaro in the boot, instead of the sri steelie :thumb:
But acoustic carpet is designed to let sound through....
Just normal matt black mate. It stays on well too :)
I could easily remove the rear seats for pod/track days anyways. I just think it looks better than a bare floor, especially in a daily runner.

Yeah, as you use it on stealth shelfs etc.
I have 2 spare 195/45 tyres and a few spare cesaro rims lol, just need a tyre fitting.
Will a 15" alloy fit in the wheel well?
Sure ive seen people with speedline allessios in the spare wheel well before.

Sorted then. I'll get a tyre chucked on one of my spare rims :)
this things evolved mate, some great work done :thumb:
love it.
Cheers Mike
Not seen you about on here/msn for ages?

Carpetes look good dude, Need a pair of door cards... ;)
Which "someone" will soon be providing me with ;) lol
Going on from what Ste L has said; Have you thought about putting a false floor in the rear? (that's if you aren't fitting rear seats).Quote:

Sure i have a pic somewhere of a stripped out car with a false floor, looked pretty cool.
I will be picking up some gsi rear seats off Baxter at the png rolling road day anyways(he picked them up off novacabrio for me), so i'll see how i go with them fitted. Keeping them in for everyday use, and then stripping it bare again for pod/track days is looking the likely plan :)
I used to have a flase floor. I have a template at home for a floor in 2 pieces split down the middle. I tried many variations before finally going with this method. I got some 25mm x 25mm slats and created a frame for the false floor to sit on. I got some foam which I glued to the underside of the slats to stop them from vibrating on the chassis. I used 4' x 2' 9mm mdf to make the floor then covered them in black acoustic carpet. I used harnesses and cut out small slots in the false floor for the harness straps.
I will try and find some pics when I get a chance.
Nice job Ad.
Just a quick question. What Rad and top hose did you use?
Ok Jim, cool.
Bouch-Nova gsi/sri/gte rad, and the standard corsa top hose mate.
Right, have been spraying the dash parts this week, giving them a few days dry.
So finished work at dinner, and cracked on fitting the dash.
Switch panels removed, steering wheel off(nightmare job btw, ended up heating the boss up with a heatgun to make it expand, and it then slipped right off )

Dash off to reveal a nightmare of wires, at this point i was thinking OMFG lol lol
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v8...w/Dscn0232.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v8...w/Dscn0233.jpg
The excess wires are various things ive added, door lock switches, immobilisers, 16v ecu wiring etc etc.
All sorted now, wrapped into neat looms.
Got the new dash out ready to fit:

All is good, and everything still works, Lmao
Just need to pickup gsi door cards and rear seats now, oh and get some black sill trims
whats that doofa under the ashtray?
Inside/Outside temperature gauge :p
when the outside temp is 5 degrees or below, you car wont start?
What
good work Mr Adam
Cheers Mr Paul
Omfg that wiring lol Did you just tidy it up or take the chance to wrap all the aftermarket stuff up with the rest of the loom?
I did say my wiring would be a tad on the messy side lol
I seperated the wiring, and wrapped it into individual looms, so i have a wrapped loom going to the door lock switches, and another going to the headunit etc etc.
Instead of just having a bunch of wires lying about. :)
does it all still work tho lolQuote:
