Project Mad Max :: Jack's "vRS Interceptor"

[RoadWarrior]

That looks insane man! Love it!   

 

Thanks buddy - appreciated

 

I've done some more shopping tonight... Forge pipes on the way (induction and breather system). Went with red as my coil packs were already red. Should hopefully get a nice black / grey / red theme going on - I can't believe just how expensive a few hoses are! I'm also planning to delete the SAI / N249 / etc in the near future. Just a case of having the guts to do it - may not seem like a major thing, but I'm all self-taught with no mechanical training whatsoever, so anything I do is a leap of faith. Should be ordering fuses / blanking plates soon.

 

I've also ordered some amber LED strips to do the "puddle light" mod... and the wheel arch extensions have arrived! Now to work out how I'm going to fit them New O/S/F window regulator has been ordered as well, so I can finally have a working window again.

 

 

Can't believe it's mid-August already and time's running out to get all the mods done. Summer needs extending!!

Lol bloody hell you have been busy ordering !!

I've got to get a shift on!

 

 

 

I've done a test fit of the arch extenders - they're not a perfect fit, but I'm sure a bit of persuasion will mould them in place:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Covers the rears perfectly, but the fronts look a little odd - I'm probably going stick some spacers on (probably 16mm if I can get away with it).

 

Now I just need to spray them and work out how I'm going to attach them

Very cool this matey . Very cool

Could do with being that little bit longer on the front, but will look awesome

[jmattley]

Loving it!

[Jimbling]

Dude BRILLIANT I love it

[RoadWarrior]

No updates for a long time now - I've started a new career so that's been hogging all my time (lots of training). However, I'm almost done, so should hopefully get some more work done to the car soon.

 

Currently planning:

- Rear window louvres

- Custom archwork (all 4 corners)

- FMIC

- Full exhaust system

- Stage 2

- Aussie siren (as heard in MM films) with dash light

 

And I've got these to fit at some point:

 

 

 

 

I'm also now on Instagram!  @ road.warrior87

This car looks fecking awesome!

[Copey]

Love this car!!

[mac11irl]

Just had a major catch up - from pg 2 of the theme change...

It looks brilliant. The tyres and steelies with the arch extentions are perfect imo

[Mikek3111]

Looking insane again mate. Loving the new theme. Still needs ram bars though

[RoadWarrior]

Nothing much happening atm... mainly due to new job and crap weather.

 

Gradually changing back to certain parts for MoT. Proper PITA to deal with, but hey ho.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Car is absolutely filthy. Kind of adds to the Mad Max effect

 

Feels weird being back on sporty alloys with low profile tyres!

[Hyphons]

I take it the wheel swap was because there was too much poke with those steelies? 

[RoadWarrior]

Yeah... I was hoping to have arches on by now, but just not had the time to sort it out. Hopefully get them on soon.

Summer will be round the corner soon, then things will speed up

Yeah I can't wait - bored of not doing anything now :p

 

 

Small update... my show plates have finally arrived. Shame I can't have them on permanently :(

 

 

 

[Hyphons]

Awesome plate! Silly question but what does it stand for?

Main Force Patrol from the Mad Max films

[RoadWarrior]

Got the car back... passed MoT with flying colours

 

Came back with a couple of extras too - new ECS dogbone mount and...

 

 

 

 

Finally fitted and the results so far are really good. Very weird to drive at first... almost feels like the power steering has been given a boost Nose is very happy turning into corners now.

 

Next stop... refitting the headlights and wheels, then onto some silicone hoses and an oil catch can

[OutlawKen]

Whiteline 24mm. Has made the car much easier to turn, but without being ridiculous. Feels like the car has a new lease of life :p

[RoadWarrior]

Minor update... SORN about to end - back on the road this Tuesday

 

 

 

With any luck this cold weather will bugger off and I can start doing stuff again. Currently looking at emergency lighting that I can remove when not in show use.

 

I've managed to acquire some other lighting bits already though - puddle lights on the way soon:

 

[OutlawKen]
