Ollydykins Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 (edited) Nothing major as so much a 'build' thread, more of a Mod one. Also for IF I ever decide to sell her, I can refer this ^^^ this was the original post.... it has Escalated since.... I can now confirm it is indeed a build thread.. So, as I got it: I got it in June 2015 at JUST over 58k Within 2 months I had new wheels ; Then in September, It had its first full service in about 2 years (I services straight away after finding out the old owner was a 'if it's not broke don't fix it' sort of way) And I also had new spark plugs so I knew they were done In around DEC 2015, the car would JUST start one morning, so had a new battery put in the same day (Will put photo in) In February I had my belts replaced (will put photo in) I then had my car tripping out every time I took it over 5k revs, which I found was the crankshaft censor needs replacing, I bought one, but it was the wrong one SO STILL LOOKING IF ANYBODY KNOWS WHERE? One I've had ; FUTURE; My next plan was to lower it, just to close the gap between my wheels and the body, And POSSIBLY a new back face (also clear wrapped); And then to finally lower the car That's it for now folks Olly Edited October 5, 2016 by Ollydykins 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Nice Olly. Try zmanalex for the crankshaft sensor or Clark Motorsport if you're after a new item. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollydykins Posted July 21, 2016 Author Share Posted July 21, 2016 Ok, update: Changed my gear stick and gaitor (currently having issues getting the metal ring back on -.-) As it happens, my first plan has been completely scrapped, after finding out that my exhaust wasn't even the problem, which I'm quite happy about (as I love it) So I have taken the jump and booked her in for a 'deep matte black' wrap with a company called 'apm customs' which do some amazing work up by me. The same colour as a GTR they have done here; So that is mid-September after a track day I have also bought my side diffusers courtesy of Tarmac sports, and a Mines front lip from RT-performance. And bought some rear spats and diffuser (from member jam) All waiting to be fitted Now my only decision is to either get a new bumper for wrap so I know it's done, or get the old one repaired as there is a crack on the bottom ... Next update will probably once everything is fitted with the wrap ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollydykins Posted August 5, 2016 Author Share Posted August 5, 2016 Ok so new mods on the way (this zeditus malarkey is getting way out of hand) Got a chargespeed rear bumper on its way, after seeing one on the for sale and narrowly missing out, I just needed to have one ! And a nismo spoiler as I've ALWAYS wanted one and from the same people funnily enough! Courtesy of Taras from RT-performance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollydykins Posted August 16, 2016 Author Share Posted August 16, 2016 (edited) Whilst I'm waiting for the last of the parts to get delivered, thought I'd get ahead of the orange and black theme and touch the engine bay up a bit Inspired by Ian Edited August 16, 2016 by Ollydykins 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollydykins Posted September 17, 2016 Author Share Posted September 17, 2016 So the time has come to leave her in the capable hands of APM customs for the fittings and wrap, Friday next week can't come quick enough! Feel as though everything was ready after painting the wiper blade arms last night ; And the slam panal (thank you rikdon) being painted orange and putting in Had an early knock on the morning with this being handed to me ; The long awaited items from mark! The brace and Perspex along with the bolts for the plenum spacer (many MANY thanks) As well as some new coloured piping (yes I4N I may have stole your idea again 🙄) My only hope now is that my wheels come back in time from being repairedso that the car looks the part straight away and I can attend trax! It seems as though the next update will be when the car is complete and hopefully a picture with a big grin on my face ! Olly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
