Carbon_Bullet Posted October 25, 2013 Author Share Posted October 25, 2013 (edited) Getting a little annoyed with this now, not going to give up but Christ I feel like smashing a few things, Today then, started to strip the other car, getting the TT engine & gearbox out, unclipped 90% wires etc, just need to find chains to use to lift it with the crane . Could use a few pointers attaching the Auto Shine Rear Diffuser , I keep being baffled as to which angel it sits at, if anyone could PM me pictures it would be a great help, Also any other places to buy the OEM oil cooler radiator as I don't want to put the old rusty one on a new car ????? Few pictures.... Although the dashboard is in, still have to remove so I can get the clutch pedals in etc !!! - Nightmare!

hodge Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Looks really nice bud. Big projects like this always run into stumbling blocks, it goes with the teratory. Even big ass tuning companies have problems, they just choose not to broadcast it in project thread etc that's all. As for the pedals, you can fit them easily with the dash in place. I did mine in a tiny garage not much bigger than the car with the car doors still on. You should find in easy with all the space and access you have.

Rich.2211 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 As above you should be able to fit the pedals with the dashboard in situ. Car is looking great, stick with it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abtin90 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Looking good, but the bonnet needs some carbon in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
add heywood Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 You will struggle with the diffuser as you've got rear spats on... I screwed min onto the rear bumper across the middle and made a couple of brackets for it to bolt to, 2 onto the rear arb mount and 2 onto the rear bodywork.

jay200bhp Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 (edited) You will struggle with the diffuser as you've got rear spats on... I screwed min onto the rear bumper across the middle and made a couple of brackets for it to bolt to, 2 onto the rear arb mount and 2 onto the rear bodywork. I fitted mine last week with the spats in place piece of cake.It was fiddly though as add rightly says and needs a mate to help hold stuff up... aside of the ARB brackets i had i done this too. I would in my opinion make sure the spats are bolted with the lowest hole of the spat fixing to the wheel arch,i used an m6 stainless bolt and an m6 threaded body clip from probolt.then drill out the rivets that hold the two brackets from sat to body of car and throw them away you can then trim the return flange from the side brackets of the diffuser, so if you imagine trimming the part you would see on the lower rear quarter panel to leave the flat part of the bracket on the spat.this then will slide up inside the spat and sit at the correct position for you to be able to mark the two holes to drill the side bracket of the diffuser by marking them through the spat holes where the rivets were holding the oem spat brackets then i used two button head m6 bolts and nylocs to fix the diffuser side to the oem spat this gave the perfect mount for the diffuser tray to bolt on. i did not remove the spats but with the fixings undone they pulled out enough to fit the diffuser sides behind them . My spats are tiger sealed on firmly also .If you wantsome pics pm me! Edited October 25, 2013 by jay200bhp (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carbon_Bullet Posted October 25, 2013 Author Share Posted October 25, 2013 Have you already got a turbo? I'm selling my old gt3582r Got one already mate, bought a Single turbo build complete before I started building this one, my A/R is 0.70.... What's your one....0.82? Seen the updates on Facebook chris, glad you got the wing fitted at last I know, was one of the main body bits I wanted fitting .... I love this Do-Luck spoiler... Deffo the best one IMO Looks really nice bud. Big projects like this always run into stumbling blocks, it goes with the teratory. Even big ass tuning companies have problems, they just choose not to broadcast it in project thread etc that's all. As for the pedals, you can fit them easily with the dash in place. I did mine in a tiny garage not much bigger than the car with the car doors still on. You should find in easy with all the space and access you have. Well that sounds good to hear, thought I had to remove all the metal work an half the steel dash bits just to get it in, after the engine is remove Saturday , I should have the pedal etc in Sunday As above you should be able to fit the pedals with the dashboard in situ. Car is looking great, stick with it! Hoping so bud, we will see Sunday, not going to give up now I've come to far Looking good, but the bonnet needs some carbon in my opinion. All over it mate, there's several parts on the car going for carbon dipping/wrapping , bonnet & skirts You will struggle with the diffuser as you've got rear spats on... I screwed min onto the rear bumper across the middle and made a couple of brackets for it to bolt to, 2 onto the rear arb mount and 2 onto the rear bodywork. Nice one, hope it fits quite securely, I got bracketing stuff today from local steel fabricators , see how it rolls out over the weekend, any pictures how you did yours? I fitted mine last week with the spats in place piece of cake.It was fiddly though as add rightly says and needs a mate to help hold stuff up... aside of the ARB brackets i had i done this too.

Carbon_Bullet Posted October 28, 2013 Author Share Posted October 28, 2013 (edited) One extreme to the other, Started of black with a trial rear and ended up white with a Do-Luck spoiler, Which one do you prefer?

Luxluc Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 None. Why not get a stock spoiler in carbon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safcdixon Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I prefer the Apr Bgw over the do-luck tbh But as above stock or trd would suit it better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carbon_Bullet Posted October 28, 2013 Author Share Posted October 28, 2013 None. Why not get a stock spoiler in carbon? Stock is alright, but I like to be different, the pictures with the do luck on don't do it justice, I prefer the Apr Bgw over the do-luck tbh But as above stock or trd would suit it better I was thinking TRD but went for the being different option instead, everyone's different though hey.

Big Supes Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I would go back and white, but with the bottom spoiler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Supes Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 On a side note, although I doubt I would have one, I love BGW's on the right car. With the look you're going for, I think it'll look awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
