Scott Posted November 29, 2011 Author Share Posted November 29, 2011 RPS Carbon/Carbon twin plate clutch is now on order. I have now coasted past the 10k parts cost I've not managed to capture absolutely everything but I know that I have listed most of the parts used. Grand total so far £10,588. Not doing all this myself would have easily ran into 15K+. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Oil cap looks ace in black! I'm keen to see this car some day for sure! Lots of effort going into it! Turning out great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted November 29, 2011 Author Share Posted November 29, 2011 Yeah I'm really happy with how the cap turned out. I was bricking it while holding the paint can in case I ruined it. The one I have is the only type that fits the TT properly and they are as rare as it gets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 I could have anodised that cap for you, if it did go wrong lol. £10k already lol good man. I lost count on mine already but i know im over 10k, and im getting help from SRD but your cant put a price on perfection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lost count on mine already but i know im over 10k, and im getting help from SRD but your cant put a price on perfection. Never even thought of that to be honest. Typical that it's after The best of it is that a lot of my parts have been 2nd hand. I reckon I could easily add another £2-£3k to that if I was buying new. The Clutch & ECU have been the big hitters. Everything else has been reasonably priced. Picking up JPs kit saved me a fair whack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picking up JPs kit saved me a fair whack. yeah same as scott, my injectors were cheapish and also midpipe and downpipe off JP plus exhaust was bargains. turbo kit and syvecs have raped my wallet though oh and manifold. big bargain was my rebuilt bottom end. This forum has a good forsale section and like you if i bought everything new then i can double what i have spent. looking good scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted November 29, 2011 Author Share Posted November 29, 2011 The little bits really start to add up! To be fair I'm taking the opportunity to get virtually everything I want done on my car done. Just tipped the scales with a full caliper refurb kit from Chris, along with some injector testing And, with luck, mean we can have a small turkey again this year Thanks Scott Lol, I thought you would be spending it on a back tyre or something Look forward to getting them on the car, should make a difference as the last time I had them apart the pistons weren't looking the best.

Scott Posted November 29, 2011 Author Share Posted November 29, 2011 looks good. anti-bling heaven. any reason why the intake isn't 100% painted. Yeah, it was JPs and the powdercoating is flaking off of it lol. It's only sitting there for now while I eyeballed things up. Taking it onto work to blast off the rest and then it'll be getting a paint Mega jealous with the TRD cap. I start twitching everytime i see mine squint I would be removing the centre and turning it personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geo Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 So easy how the parts keep adding up and adding up bud eh. Looking great so far, although i think a nice plenum would finish it off nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking great so far, although i think a nice plenum would finish it off nice. That's for the future. I've got a spare engine to build up so I'm going to do that next year. Then I'll take the tubby to its limit and be happy Money spent includes... Brake Calipers fully refurbed with new seals, stainless pistons & stainless pins. All Wishbones replaced with low mileage, good condition 2nd hand ones. Short shifter Steering wheel, steering wheel boss & quick release boss. Spare Engine Spare Alternator 295 tyres HID lights Hurst Line Lock So it's not just tubby & rebuild stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCK10 Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Looking good mate. Been keeping an eye on this thread and I'm liking the anti-bling theme you have going on. It a world of difference after just looking at Rob's engine in his thread, but strangely I really like both of them. He must be crying when he looks at your engine bay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Very impressive stuff Scott, this is going to be an epic build, mainly because you are doing it all yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
