JiB 0 Report post Posted September 13, 2009 Wow, looks pretty serious! Did you weld the boot yourself? It's pretty tidy! I wish I had welding game. Also, you might need to flock the dash in something soft-ish or scrutineers might disapprove. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nobimmer 694 Report post Posted September 13, 2009 Nah- the rollcageman made it. It would be really straight foward if you didn't roll the end's and used a silicone joiner on the bottom part- would mean only needing to weld bit onto it. What can I flock it with? Does it have to be padded or would that cheapo vynil stuff from Spotlight work? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nobimmer 694 Report post Posted October 27, 2009 Small update. Will get picks and video up later when I get home. Took it for it's first drive today up my road. No window's and the seats weren't bolted up. Seems to go sweet and revs right out withhout missing too badly. Will still need some minor tuning. Back window has warped for f**k knows what reason so will need redoing. Sorted out the shifter etc. All wiring is done. Kit is done. Just gotta save $$ for bushes and suspension bits Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
323e30 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2009 you need to put a reinforcing strap in the rear window. Pretty sure it wouldnt pass a cert without one anyway. But yeah will prob sus your warping issue aswel. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nobimmer 694 Report post Posted November 1, 2009 I have a strap there but it's warping inwards. I think it is more the cheap sh*t silicone. WIll probably end up redoing it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nobimmer 694 Report post Posted November 18, 2009 Been fairly busy with work and stuff. But have managed to repaint the interior again in badass Gloss Black, and the cage in Gloss white. Have also finished the sunroof, am just waiting for it to get tinted so I can throw it in. This is the sunroof setup Finished the lexan windows And will soon be attacking this With these and a few other bits that are arriving tommorow Big thanks to my mate Luka for all the help.

Nobimmer 694 Report post Posted November 18, 2009 Oh should add, the towers that the cage sits on haven't been painted yet- ran out of paint. And to anyone that is going to paint a cage... starte from the inside and work your way out. Also do the bottom and work your way up. Don't smoke while painting. Don't roll smokes while painting. Don't hit head on any bits that are being painted. Managed to get some tobacco, hair and a few flies in the paint... but it all adds character Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nobimmer 694 Report post Posted December 2, 2009 Have finally finished doing the seat mounts, no pics of them but they are fairly self explanatory. Finished mounting and mocking up the dash and gauges. Moved battery behind the seat. Unplugged a shitload of now useless wires. And have now buried myself with wires that have to be plugged in. Yay... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nobimmer 694 Report post Posted December 2, 2009 Oh and all those bits of green tape everywhere are my noob tags to where everything goes. Two of the tags read "f**k knows" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nobimmer 694 Report post Posted December 2, 2009 Cheers Nath, Should also add... would probably have a few other bits in the car had they not been stolen out of my other car. Second time bits for this have been stolen! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oscar90 0 Report post Posted December 3, 2009 Do those SAFC's actually make a good difference on a b25, anyone know? blue screens just look mean haha can they be "tuned" to get good noticeable gains? wiring looks...fun! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nobimmer 694 Report post Posted December 3, 2009 What is a SAFC? The dash is flockedish. Just covered it in satin black vynil. What a prick of a job! Cheers for the feedback fellas Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DRTDVL 0 Report post Posted December 3, 2009 (edited) vynil = shiny typically... should be interesting to see how it comes out.... looking forward to see more progress... If you need a hand with anything let me know, always willing to help out. SAFC = the gray and blue boxy thing on top of your dash above the guages Edited December 3, 2009 by DRTDVL Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
