Oh now thats telling.......

There's a bloke by me that does flocking... in his shed, so yea the dash will be coming out but it's got to anyway because I want to spray the inside as well.

Dave,

for the windows:

http://www.plastics4performance.co.uk/applications_list.asp?vmake_id=35&vmake_name=SEAT

They had all the windows from my Ibiza to use as a guide and did me three sets, one for my MK3, one for Pauls MK2, and one for Robs MK2... really good stuff, great guys as well.
I flocked my own dash, cost £25 for a kit. Wasn't 100% perfect but then it was a track sl*g! Can't find any decent pics though.

Hope you get her back on the road soon!

Dave see the carbon fibre bits you recently got from the dealer of the b-pillars, do they go just go on the part on the outside or are they fitted right round to the window??

Sorry if it isnt a good explanation, im struggling to describe it properly. Reason im asking is that my dealer couldnt get me a set of the pre-cut carbon fibre decals so Im going to make my own set up.

 

[crezz]

they just stick on..it will be easy to make your own...and then also do the rear inscriptions in carbon effect too

I know they stick on, ive got my vinyl stuff ready to cut. I just need to go if its just on the side of the b-pillar of if it goes round and meets the window rubbers.

Any more on these rear inscriptions?

Much better, the car rev's more freely. Its a bit of a pain to get use to at first and will stall the car now and again and when you rev it high it won't take ages to come back down.

I had a mate of mine lighten and balance it for me, take off half the weight of the flywheel.

you got a pic of your engine bay mate?

No sorry, only pic is when I took it with my strut brace fitted. I haven't fitted my samco hoses yet so that will be the next pic of the engine bay.

Oh and another update...... Collected my Peloquin Diff on Saturday so once we get this rain over with the box will be coming off again and this time it have the diff fitted and also fit a new VR6 clutch.

 

[crezz]

still not! crikey, mine should be here in the next week or so hopefully

 

[Dave_R]

Right then been a while..... I got all my parts now and they all new from Seat mmmmmmmm

Had a closer look of the side skirts I had off eBay and they are cracked so will be ordering new ones tomorrow I think! I will get photos up of all the parts when it comes to taking it to the bodyshop.

But in the mean time, I collected a Peloquin Diff from a bloke from Club GTi. Had the diff fitted to find a problem! I brought a 02A diff for my 02A box, right!? Well the 02A should have push in flanges and for some reason I had bolt in flanges!

Emailed Peolquin and I had the main owner ring me himself from the US at 2am our time, keep in mind I finished work at 10pm that night and was back in work at 6am!!!

Anyway he got me the part number that I needed for the correct flanges to fit to the diff along with the circlips. But with all the rain we been having, I haven't had a chance to refit the box so once I'm waiting for our summer to come I decided to clean and paint my box.

Here's a pic of the Peloquin Diff

SNIFF MY DIFF!!​

And now the gearbox........

More to come!

 

[Dave_R]

Now for my alloys that I had refurbed!

Hope you all remember the fuss I kicked up with Compomotive after showing them the thread on here......... (just to refresh you memories) http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=177690&highlight=compomotive

Well they are the before photos and now here they are in all their glory!!!!

Wrapped in Goodyear Eagle F1's and wearing matt black centre caps with lime green decals! mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Work was done by Steve at APS Services

 

[Dave_R]

All its left now is get the box on, raise the collies a lil, fit new discs and pads and then it's on its way to the bodyshop.

It's taking hell of a lot longer than planned because I have lost heart in the car a few times and been ready to give it all up and break it all lol.

Keep an eye on here now because hopefully things should start moving along now!

Im loving the stickers on the comps, very good

It'll all be worth it in the end mate, you'll love the diff once it's in and running
