coldel Posted May 28, 2016 Author Share Posted May 28, 2016 Yep and the metal bit next to the charge cooler, suppose a pre photo would have helped !! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMballistic Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Problem is it makes everything else look old! í ½í¸„ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk That is true but it honestly doesn't make it look that bad, ...definitely an improvement still imo. One thing I'd do though just to make it look a little "newer" shall we say is renew some of the older rustier bolts with some fresh stainless steel versions. Maybe even add a few coloured washers like the Password JDM ones or D1 spec ones etc that you can get on eBay. I actually bought some stainless steel countersunk bolts the other night from an eBay seller and it was only £1.36 including delivery for five M6x40mm bolts. Just an idea.

coldel Posted May 29, 2016 Author Share Posted May 29, 2016 Couldnt agree more mate, I have some titanium ones around the edges but some based in the engine area itself would make a huge difference - might go off and do some internet searching for complete kits right now..!

Stutopia Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 The titanium ones at http://www.pro-bolt.com with the coloured countersunk washers Bay looks BTW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldel Posted May 30, 2016 Author Share Posted May 30, 2016 Ha very aware of this! Brummiestormer even commented on the Scotland drive, asked why there was a column of heat coming out my bonnet whilst sat in tesco car park!

coldel Posted May 30, 2016 Author Share Posted May 30, 2016 Gave it a good run today, back at the house immediately lifted the bonnet, paint working a treat a good cheap mod, although requires a fair amount of elbow grease in prep! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Good news then. Gave my S3 a nice run out this afternoon as the weather was perfect for it, ...just jumped in the car & drove for 40 minutes solid whilst the Mrs watched TV at home. Bliss. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is exactly what i do when East-poxy-Enders comes on, wife gets comfy in chair and so do i.. in the Zed, and i'm off for a b-road blast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, that's quite alright Payco, she should be ashamed of herself. i told her that if she watches Eastenders there's no way she's allowed to watch cocking Coronation Street.

coldel Posted June 3, 2016 Author Share Posted June 3, 2016 Another little mod which makes the interior feel a little more up to date...chrome rings in the dash. Its the little things that make the difference I say 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stutopia Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Classy looking binnacle that, nice and simple. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 The chrome rings do look smart coldel, ...I was actually more impressed though with the condition of the indicator stalk & washers stalk. The markings still look like new which is great for a car of that age. I remember my96 JDM Impreza and they were a little worn which always bugged me.
