I don't mind gel plates on a short reg like that. But they do seem to divide opinion, lol.

 

[rupertfinch]

This thread was going so well, then I notice the gel plates .

But he’s got so much right to this point you are willing to overlook this indiscretion!

 

[pablo]

It’s only the rear lol calm down
Example of rear clam cut

Wee bit more today. My digital dash has inputs for oil temp and pressure so fitted the adapters etc to get it working. Have the wiring done back to the dash so just need to finish that off. Tapped into the oil cooler line that comes from the oil filter housing.

Putting a lot of the interior back to standard (seats, dash, carbon panels etc) so dug out the old door cards and dash trims and gave them a lick of nardo

How come?

 

[pablo]

Started removing some of the higher value bits for selling the car over the next month or two. Still very trackable if we do get an opportunity. But pretty much writing off track days until summer time now.

@hutchy_belfast you blown your mid life crisis money yet?

 

[pablo]

interior trims fitted. turned out quite well. bit bright in the light but match the exterior so do me nicely

Typed up the spec list, and this is after the stuff Ive taken out of it!

GM Eaton M62 Supercharger conversion. Made for the engine (OEM block mounts etc)

Pro-Alloy front mounted charge cooler

Been running for over a year with no problems

256bhp with Dyno printout, fuelling bang on. Always ran on super unleaded

Dutch ECU unlock (obdtuner.com). Allows full remapping access to the OEM ECU. More expensive than a Courtney flash but so much better. Allows logging, fault finding etc from your laptop

Bosch injectors from a VXR Astra

Iridium spark plugs (cooler for the SC)

Pipercross induction kit

2.5" full stainless exhaust system inc 4-1 manifold and silenced decat

Timing chains replaced end of 2019

Max88 Motorsport fuel lines (to relocate for SC belt)

Alloy coolant radiator

Vibratech uprated side engine mounts

RA Emotion Gear shifter and handbrake cage. Gives increased ridgity for sharper more precise shifts. Also raises gearknob up 110mm ish

Nylon gearknob (copy of the Quaife one)

4H short shifter (gearbox end) for shorter throws, works great in conjunction with the shifter cage

Closer ratio 4.17 FD gearbox with fresh OEM oil and driveshaft seals

TTV lightweight flywheel Nov 2020

Calibra 4x4 Turbo clutch Nov 2020

Gaz Monotube coilovers (not the cheap ones, or even the golds but way better).

New rear hubs

Pagid brake discs

Performance Friction brake pads front and rear

Eliseparts uprated brake hoses

All 4 brake calipers refurbished Aug 2020

Ultimate Carbon Matt Laquered Carbon side scoops (turbo replicas)

Turbo rear spoiler

OEM Turbo wheels with excellent bridgestone tyres in correct sizes

Wheel stud conversion, so handy when swapping wheels

Type116 Motorsport rear 3 piece diffuser

Ultimate Carbon sideskirts (Alloy)

Aerocatches fitted to front bonnet, std release mechanism removed, its rubbish

Type 116 Motorsport front towing eye post. Vast improvement over std one (they rot)

New battery end 2020

Type116 switch pack (headlights etc) replacement kit. Vast improvement over std (really hard to get replacements)

Alpine bluetooth radio and Pioneer speakers (audio is fairly useless to be fair)

Mid life crisis still in full swing if not deepened further. Think I've gotten too old and soft for one of these though and no interest in track any more. I can't comprehend how you can go from new shifter cage or rear diffuser to a for sale ad in a week but it'll be an incredible buy for someone. Hope you get it away without too much grief.

yeah I may have went to look at an R8
