dougie350 Posted February 22, 2016 Author Share Posted February 22, 2016 just a little update for you all........ things have been going really well on the car lately managed to get down drift elite to have some more skids, car behaved as per normal, felt amazing to drive! still cant get over how good this lock kit is, its literally the best thing ive ever put on the car! (heres a tiny video hux took and put on instagram) *dont forget to give me a follow and follow my stupidity if your on instagram unfortunately my headlight washer bottle decided to die and now has a massive crack in it, i never use them anyway and think they are pretty pointless without a headlight wiper so i just unplugged the hose to it as it runs from the windscreen washer bottle which is seperate so i couldnt actually fill up my windscreen tank...... this is the first time id actually taken the bumper off, was very straight forward and easy to do. decided to give my front bumper a splitter a quick touch up with trusty halfords gloss black spray can to get ride of some of the abuse the front end has taken! actually came out really well. generic front end off photo. managed to get hold of the rear pair of 7 twenty wheels too, they are pretty cool, 10.5 et15 with a 25mm spacer! loads of dish and a really nice finish and here they are on the car initially i wasnt a massive fan of them and wondered if i had f*cked up by selling my xxrs, but they have grown on me and the fact i can use my lock kit out weighs anything really! 7 twenty have been in touch with me and want to do a feature on my car too which is awesome! hopefully some time soon. i wanted to do something with the back end as i thought it was lacking some jazz so i impulse bought a top secret style diffuser on driftworks for quite cheap, its actually made for a r34 skyline apparently, its going to take some chopping to get it to fit but ill find a way. Went to have a watch at 3 sisters yesterday as they had a bdc vs driftcup demo/practise day on. met up with a few guys who are on this forum too one of them was drifting (if thats what you call it ) so was nice to watch and support (mainly take the p*ss) heres a few photos that emerged from the day thats all for now, stay tuned for more 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougie350 Posted February 22, 2016 Author Share Posted February 22, 2016 Scrapes just love kisses So what's next after the new rear wheels plans wise? haha it doesnt sound like love kisses alot of the time! not too sure man, front of my cage is getting finished in april, i want some skirt diffusers and a rear diffuser and then maybe look into wings....... and eventually some kind of graphics for those japan feels! Cover it in blackboard paint and doodle, dare you. All sounds awesome and you need rear wheel pics soon, meant to PM you about the cage actually I sent Huxley a message but didn't get a reply. i asked hux about your message, he said just message him again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cascade88 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 @*!# man this looks awesome How come it looks even better with the dirt on it? Wheels are ace even more so now they're all on, definitely better than the xxr's IMO, I want em. I see that's Lewis' white 350 there too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT4 Zed Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 I like that short gun exhaust. Works well with the diffuser. Bet it's loud. You are really low and I don't see that diffuser lasting mate😳! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mj86 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Erm... Is it me or am I seeing brake discs are blue...? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougie350 Posted February 28, 2016 Author Share Posted February 28, 2016 Erm... Is it me or am I seeing brake discs are blue...? Yeh man I had a little bit of blue paint left over from something I was painting so thought I'd spray it on the discs and see what it looked like! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mj86 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Wow... That look cool, almost like burnt blue titanium, but won't that affect braking at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougie350 Posted February 28, 2016 Author Share Posted February 28, 2016 Haha I'm only joking mate, I think it's just the filter from Instagram, it would be a cool idea though especially the titanium effect! Yeh I think spraying your discs wouldn't do much good to the brakes! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cascade88 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Discs should have a slight blue tinge to them after correctly bedding in, you said you had recent new discs / pads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame he had to cut the arches I think it was out of an e36, they are the earlier types with the iron block so can take a lot more abuse, standard they are about 190bhp so with a few simple mods can be taken over 200 easily. Good fun in a little stripped or e30 í ½í¸€ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had new pads on the front but the discs were ok so didn't bother with them. After checking the original photo it is just the way I've edited the photo as to why the discs look funky!
