Starting up a brief list as I satrted wondering what I haven't changed now... First things that spring to mind.

Chassis

dashboard itself (have changed everything around it )

Seats, soon to change

Rear brakes

PAS & braking gizmos

Doors

Thought this might be easier than saying what I have changed.

The driver

Dunno, I think I've metamorphosised into a crazy engine converting lunatic.

Basically.

Rob - I think it might be preferred if I got the Jag supercharged. Apparently the XJR block is very "superchargeable" Is that a word?

Say hello to single figure mpg readings :P

Ouch - better start prospecting for oil in your back garden then

Which one? The PD100 one went with the engine, and the PD130 is going to Allard as the hybrid was bought on exchange

Have you still got the original window/windscreen stickers?

Washer bottles.

Sill covers.

How about floor mats - they must be original, surely?

The little gadget for pulling off your wheel nut covers? (you can tell I'm scraping the barrel, now....)

Congratulations on getting it working I believe a certain Dr Frankenstein is looking for advice on rebuilds

Washer bottle! NOPE! You lose! Needed vRS washer bottle as it has a washer fluid warning sensor, unlike PD100.

Sill covers - never had them, but got some Fabia emblazoned shiny ones to fit

Wheel nut unclipper clipper thingy device? Yup - still original.

The big plastic nut that holds the spare wheel in place?

The bonnet and tailgate?

The bonnet and tailgate?

Yeah, bonnet is original. Boot is original too, although its been entirely rewired along with the rest of the car. So original outside, new guts.

Oh, forgot about the spare wheel device. Nope - its gone! Due to using 17" alloys spare the thread isn't long enough, but as the wheel is no much bigger it just sits in there and I've padded it out a bit to stop it moving. The false floor + pair of subwoofers on top of it keeps it down too. :speaker: :speaker:

so, when do we get to see some photos? Are you going to have a big satin sheet on the top that a scantily clad west country lass will pull off ?

Photo's will follow when done - Its still got no front bumper Need to charge the battery up too as I managed to flatten it in last 3 months.

u know its all going to come together perfect.... sit in side and then......... damn no steering wheel or pedels!

Hope u've fitted footwell lighting!!

Keep up the good work

Flip-tint

Neons

Venoms

Bean can

'Motorsport' Sun Strip

Stick-on alloy-effect filler cover

Blah blah blah.

Hope you can sort this out.

Don't bother asking Jason otherwise he'll have you believing cars drive better on their roofs.

Chavyboy

LoL, if not him who is the best person to ask?

Well, anyone who says removing your plastic engine cover voids youe warranty is talking absolute TOSH! :grumpy: Best bit of ****** I've heard in some time. Love to talk to the dealer who says that.

Is yours a 1.4? Maybe a 16valve? If so, basically the best way to get a growl from it is to fit an aftermarket exhaust system. Fab16v had one HELL of an exhaust on his old 1.4 16v. I can still hear it now from the Midlands meet in 2003.

Not sure on other 1.4 mods - Stimps on here might know a bit more.

So J-is your mongrel going to be at the southampton RR day like you said it would be???:P

DEVONUTOPIA AND ANY 1 ELSE'S IMPUT IS GREATLY APPRICIATED

Yeh its a genuine 1.4 16v sports adition.

I already had my jap exhaust fitted, thats all good coz im getin my sound from the back, but im still getin the factory engine sound at the front.

also my problem is the garage i go to the owner has a 1.4 comfort an he has no engine cover so he cud get straight to the standard air intake box and change it to put his filter on, but they dnt no how to open mine because its totaly different. It got screws that are hard 2 get to???

any take on that???
