Your attention detail is awesome mate, this is starting to become one of my favourite threads on the forum. Beautiful car!

 

Thanks mate, it's coming along nicely. I can slow down now it's all back together.

 

That's a good looking interior now mate clean and simple. Very nice

 

Exactly what I was trying to achieve, thank you.

 

Are those metal monkey dials or proper TRD ones? Also I want your seats, look so nice!

 

These are metal monkey dials. You can have TRD everything if you like, but thats a tad overkill for me, hence only doing the rev counter. Thanks, the seats are quite nice, very firm and supportive but whether or not they are comfortable on a long trip will be tested this week. One advantage over my last Recaro's is they can fold giving much easier access to the rear seats.

Love the interior! It looks really smart!

Im also tempted to sound deaden the floor, let me know how you find it once it's complete.

 

Thanks mate, I'm happy with it now. The sound deadening has worked really quite well, I warmed it up last night on the way to and from the paintshop. You can hear the things you want but still have a conversation inside ( my car is seriously loud ), sound quality from the speakers is better and played lower. My sound deadening is the lighter version, so quality could be improved further if needs be.

Stunning work buddy.

 

Thankyou pal.

 

 

Ditto, looks impressive, but please don't give him an even bigger head lol

 

I heard he can only fit through double doors now because of the size of his head

 

Well we've cut a 'sunroof' in the hardtop now which should accomodate all future head growth, always one step ahead of the game ;)

 

Great to see this car still alive and kicking.

 

Just read this from start to finish, great improvements, keep the updates coming!

 

Cheers, I will start adding some updates now but it will take some time. Gives anyone interested something to read though!

Updates big boy!

 

Just for you buddy

 

Project name needs changing dude.

 

Yes it does!

 

So i was having a chat with Burna at the Wroxall meet discussing how strange my forum name is and how he laughed about it when organising dragonball a couple of years back. To amuse this man further I took to talking about Hemanhead from the third person inventing an entire cast and fictional adventure while riding a trusty companion called Battlecat....

 

Thats what happens kids when you are invested in 10 Stella Artois and high on the rapture of victory :trophy: *cough, scalextric champ, cough*

 

 

.....Anyway; the front lights were a bit foggy and I didn't have the time to take them apart for a proper clean up so these were sold and new ones bought, there's a clear difference.

Next up was the Ridox carbon boot spoiler, again, its just not my thing so I have removed this and have had the carbon tailgate repainted. I think it looks alot better. Whilst this happened the Lexan glass has been removed and i bought a donor tailgate for its glass. The end product leaves the car looking alot more OEM and a bit heavier but classy.

With the VVTi spare block with Lee we began discussing a specification, desired power vs response, parts choice, piping sizes etc all at great length and over many weeks to come up with my ideal car. I am going to list everything that is being done in great detail so you know what it takes to build up one of these cars to the standard I want, it is an extensive list for now but don't worry theres plenty of pretty pictures to back everything up.

 

Keeping the list fairly basic with more detail later about other parts that get replaced at given stages which you don't normally hear about with these builds, and little explanations as we go to help explain the choice behind this parts compilation.
