Black Magic OEM Build (Budget)

[MozzieOwner]

Seat bolster was starting to split so patched it up and chucked over a seat cover.

Where did you get the seat cover from and how much?

 

Thanks

EBay. £25 quid or there abouts. Pricey bit the fit is good and you can't seem to buy them elsewhere. Came from Thailand of all places.

Ive got the CAI kit that goes down into the wing and i suffer no power loss. You can get a pipercross panel for the standard airbox to help it breath abit better

I think because it was noisy it gave the impression it was slower in performance than the original airbox. Like most things it was probably in my head. But regardless it wasn't for me because of the noise. I prefer a sleeper car as apposed to 'in her face'. It was fun though but long term, forget it.

I really like the way you set yourself a set budget and stuck to it as much as you could. Youve got a good octy here!

 

Mod bug has bitten so id watch your wallet now!

Changed the ageing centre caps.

Popped thr centre cap out. Removed the top layer badgem cleaned off with some degreaser. Some new 55mm badges from eBay. I put some blobs of silicone as was unsure if the badges would stick on for the duration. 55mm badges but there were a slight gaps around the edge and you could see thr cream colour cap. Used a black sharpie to cover it up.

Thanks matey. Look very smart

Nothing major to report. Had the wheels aligned as it wasnt done after the new track rod ends etc. Steering is spot on now. Weather was good today so fitted my armrest. Direct fit from eBay is said. Yeah right!! Had to cut away the plastic to fit. PITA job but feels great with the extra arm support.

Just one of the bay without its engine cover showing some silicone pipes. Whe I fitted the silicone breather pipe the car feels faster. Couldnt see a split on the original but it was gunked up.

Just the car...dirty!

Cars looking good so far. Does your arm rest tilt up or have you lost use of cup holder etc?

[tunk]

Went for an sFS intake as the garage would only fit one they supplied. No pics yet its raining outside. If anyone wants a brand new venair for £60 delivered then let me know.

Homebrew intake.

Parts:

- Heatshield £25 delivered. Search golf heatshield on ebay. You need the 80mm maf version so you can fit the large cone.

- 70mm to 90mm silicone reducer. About £10.

- Oem s2000 cone. I went for the K/N version £40.

- Hose clips x2. 70-90mm fit.

They do a 70mm maf heat shield but that wont fit as you need to have the silicone fed thru the hole in order to fit the huge cone in.

I havent got a cold air feed yet but would imagine a 60x1000m feed off ebay would be sufficent feeding down to the bumper lower grill.

Forgot to add the sai requires a 25mm filter. Currently just strapped that with tie wrap to stop it flapping about. Will change to black ties soon. Only had white!

Update; New rear O/S caliper needed.

Also need to give all the calipers another lick of paint at some point. Where can I get that paint?
