dangerous brain Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 I am awaiting the donor vehicle becoming available (personal plates make a mess of sorting out write offs). I am doing the job myself with the aid of a guy thats being transplanting engines as a hobby since he was 13 years old so I will be cataloguing every penny spent and every step taken and importantly every minute spent doing the job. I will be taking a multitude of photo's along the way identifying every step every plug I undo every bolt I undo and labelling up the differences between the two engine types. When its done I will put it all on a CD and send it to those that want it. Because of the disparity between aero N/A and TT prices this job is well worth doing and I am sure I will have the proof very soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elliot Posted April 16, 2004 Author Share Posted April 16, 2004 I think it looks nice with the colour coded interior, are you going for a bodykit or leaving it standard DB? I'm well looking forward to the results of the transplant. Poole is less than an hour away from me, so will see you at one of the meets I expect! Sorry Kev, I'm 90% certain I'm going to keep it now. I've had the roof off the last couple of days & it (or me!?!) gets even more stares, waves, whistles than normal! I even worked out how to store the roof in the boot yesterday!

DB's car looks great, besides I have to like red supes or Keith won't be impressed. Glad to hear you are keeping the car, I was hoping the last few days worth of weather would persuade you.

I am very dubious about the various body kits on the market. Some of the bumpers are a bit too much for me. The big veilside spoilers are IMO a tad in your face and very heavy if you want to be putting summat in the boot a lot. the side skirts are all a touch expensive for a couple of bits of plastic so all in all I will probably stay with the standard look for now. There are some odds and sods I would like to do but they can wait til I have sorted the powerplant out. I will be at the next SEM if I can get there and the future ones across the summer. I have my name down on the drive that WSB2 is making a hash of organisin so you will probably catch me somewhere over the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faye Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 I like the standard look, plus the idea of scraping the lower nosecone and side skirts doesn't appeal when I'll have spent a reasonable chunk of cash on them and pretty much every non stock spoiler doesn't seem to agree with me. The interior/exhaust and wheels are fair game though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 I even like the stock alloys. I do however like them bling chromed like some of the yank motors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elliot Posted April 16, 2004 Author Share Posted April 16, 2004 I must admit the stock alloys are pretty lame. I think I said I had Blitz 18's? I have BBS - not Blitz I know what you mean about the nosecone scraping - I dread every speedbump & road camber (especially into petrol stations)! So far though I've kept it in great condition.

toyotasuprauk Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 Perhaps me and DB are the only ones that like the stock alloys then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elliot Posted April 27, 2005 Author Share Posted April 27, 2005 I don't even remember writing half this stuff, shows how good my memory is! Sorry Kev, I'm 90% certain I'm going to keep it now. I've had the roof off the last couple of days & it (or me!?!) gets even more stares, waves, whistles than normal! I even worked out how to store the roof in the boot yesterday! Guess, the other 10% was the stronger! It was no fun working away all summer driving a Mondeo, knowing I had a lush car sitting at home getting dusty Oh yeah, it must have been the car as I didn't get any stares, whistles etc in the Mondeo, but plenty in the new Supe! Oh well - memories, memories...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check the date at the start - this is an old thread my friend! I got a great TT in the end, still loving every minute of it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
