Took a few pics for you Paul today of the BA in the scrapyard, only 80k but it's rotton underneath




Scratch on back driverside door




Just realised it's the passenger side doors you want aswell lol they look good aswell

cheers for the pics andy, a tidy looking set of doors there , yeah its the passenger side im after as they look like something at some point has scrapped alongside it, the front is there more important of the two, the rear one is just me being picky but for £15 even if he can just take it off and store it that would be great.
cheers for keeping an eye out for me

just got some new tyres for the front end.....2 x bridgestones for £40, including fitting. and on the drive home i experienced something rather strange...GRIP

So confident when you can feel grip, the tyres on my civic, even though they had loads of tread, were woeful in the wet, under steering and sliding everywhere, they were just budget crap

well i have to admit im a bit looking forward to the weekend and wishing the days away......this little beaut should arrive tomorrow all being well
and then just the wait to get it fitted on saturday.....then i'll show you all ha ha
Huge thanks to steven for this one

ooooo I'm guessing there are shiny things under that wrapping....

oh yes indeed , and noisy too

Sound clip is a must when it's fitted Paul

certainly will, chatting to steve its a nice low guttery kinda sound at idle then it gets 'vocal' around 3k revs , there is a sound clip on his car page, ill see if i can link it to hear for now , did you raid ayrton's garage today?

edit.....nope can't find it, new one it will have to be

I'm sure it's on his bio for his BA, I saw it the other week I think

Did pop through yes, bought a suade gear gator and console surround
Do have my eye on a couple of other bits he has aswell, going to get this exhaust sorted out first though

well, i have finally had a chance to get my new(ish) zhorst fitted , and yes i have a very big grin, sounds amazing, a discreet rumble rather than an 'in your face' scream.
i apologise in advance for the state of the car...its been a busy week in the woods for both me and the car.



sound clip to follow once ive had chance to clean her up a bit

Looks great Paul, I love the exit pipes

cheers andy, yeah they really look the part , i thought they would stick out a bit more than they do, but no, its just about perfect to, mind you though ill be taking off the jdm sticker seeing as though its a dtm zhorst lol.

That looks sweet Paul finishes her rear of nicely

cheers baz, just taken her out for a spin, opened the taps a little
the odd split knuckle getting the old one off, hell, worth every bit

well here is a (poor quality) pic of wombles new rear end.....
the old girl scrubs up pretty well after a good wash and dry, gave the exits a bit of a spruce up too



looking at this pic makes me want the euro reverse light even more.....dont think ill be totally happy with the back end till then

That's is one sexy rear end fella

I agree the euro fog would finish it off nicely
I love that lower recess painted black, that is defo on my list of to do's

cheers its getting there, however a quad exit exhaust would see me over the moon to truly even each side up....lol

im compiling a 'to do' list for the car while ive got a bit of time off over the festive holidays.....first will be to get the front bumper off and fit the zxi splitter/air dam....got the old cupra one off to fit the new one and im having a bit of chew lining it up so i think that will be next weekends job

New vruum looks grate , sure sounds even better. Do u have pic maybe how iy was looking upacked ? Is it loud? I mean for longer drives would it be too loud?

cheers scalman, no i dont have a pic of it unpacked before it went on, and no its not really too loud, it has a nice low rumble to it driving around town, and then a nice note when giving it some, and on a longer drive its very discreet, infact possibly quieter than the stock exhaust
i didnt want a noisy exhaust, just a distinct sound

I always wanted a quad exit but they were always just too expensive.

Here is a sound clip of the sebring fitted with a closed cup halfords induction kit. Only taking up to about 4k rpm tops.

If all this truth then i want this badass thing too allways thought that default sound is kinda flat it was missing something to it and never wanted any of those racing screamers. Thanks for info could u posibly make sound clip of it ? Would be interesting to hear all that vruuum vruuum
Could u write me model of it or link were u get it. Thnks.
And um what sound clip does to it?

If you click on my picture above it is actually a video. The exhaust is a sebring back box and is damn near impossible to find. I do remember seeing one for sale for around £200 mark. The closest LOOKING thing for sale is on amazon in the link below but i very much doubt they will sound the same as the sebring:

Hi scalman. Steve is right the sebring box the same as mine isn't available in the uk anymore. The closest looking box I can find is a remus one. But as said I don't think they will sound the same.

Thanks for info car cost 500 , exaust 200 lol .but is that exaust sound depends on what engine u have as well? Its pretty expensive thou.
But i guess for name u must pay.i allways more prefer do what i can myself and not pay others.

well not so much of an update more of a things to do list...

1. re-fit exhaust gasket as its not sitting just right so blowing like a good un
2. fit the zxi splitter/air dam
3. got a dent puller, so ill give that a go
4. spray the wheels white...daily driver so if i have two clear days over the holidays then ill tackle them one, possibly two at a time
5. paint the front brake calipers
6. repair a crack in the spoiler
7. carry on colour coding the interior
8. something will turn up
9. something else will turn up
10. clean it

looks like busy busy over the holidays
so to cheer myself up, i had a full £3 to burn in my paypal account i bought these...ha ha ha

My list of things is similar lol mainly to clean it

That joint to the back box is a pain to get sealed properly, it took me ages, did you use a new gasket?

arn't cars just a joy at times??
yeah its a new gasket, but it was bitterly cold n wetr when i was fitting it and my hands were numb which is more than likely for not getting it seated just right...
im also off to the scrappy on monday, was due to today but i thought the family would more than likely prefer presents,
i'll get the arch guard for you, im after a new rocker cover too so i can try out a few colour combo's

Thanks Paul I appreciate it

I've got the dredded V6 leaky rocker cover gaskets so that's top of my list

if you havent sorted it by the time I am next back I can help you sort it
