Hi all, just thought I would share what I've been doing!
Will transfer more pics over once the turboing really starts taking shape.

Thanks
Sam

Nice job so far!
I'd never seen a Euro bumper without the splitter before.

[youdirtyfox]

Ta!

prefer much better with the splitter for sure

[youdirtyfox]

plans are to get it down low on some coilovers
fit the turbo and get it mapped for about 170bhp
find and fit some full lenght side skirts (civic type R maybe)
may go for red stripe on the alloys
some reclining bucket seats
import size number plates front & back
slightly larger bore exhaust

Sitting pretty

Sounds like a good mod list, I commend thee. I always thought the CTR skirts could look well if you chopped them nicely. I nearly did until I found the OEM full length beasts.

[youdirtyfox]

Hey cheers Marco. yep i do love my 195/50/15's on a 7J rim, handles so well

was there chat on here about replica skirts?

[youdirtyfox]

hello all,

seeing as i work as a metal spinner, thought it be rude not to make some
centre caps out of stainless for my rims







getting married in under two weeks time!! after that all my spare money is going on a set of coilovers

cheers all..

[fowljesse]

Congratulations!
What does a metal spinner do. Whatever it is, it sounds fun.

[youdirtyfox]

Thanks!

metal spinning is the process of forming discs (blanks) of metal as they spin round on a lathe.
but i do spinning, machining, tool making and polishing there too

It can be fun and challenging, also dirty & dangerous

[youdirtyfox]

and for my next trick! fitting some rear bumper spats of a subaru impreza onto my '3

[AaronTietje]

Cool, are you going to run the rear mud flaps with them???

[youdirtyfox]

Er i dunno, doubt it though, plus ground clearence maybe an issue
once i got the coilovers on?!

[youdirtyfox]

spat shortened now and end cap plastic welded back on.... all you need is
a hob and a old steak knife.. and of course a wife who dont mind you messing up Her kitchen
