Rex: An Underdog Story (Powelly’s CRX VT)

If you wanted to, I can show you a nifty way of hiding away some of the loom ifyou havnt got Alb and the bits around the fusebox.

just dont let him put rota's on it

im glad, with a new fresh ice cream paintjob and about 15 grand spent on it with over night parts from japan this could look a winner!

better put it on your tab at harry's

Cheers Pallett, I was gunna Say if your around sunday im not up to much so could pop over for a few pointers? maybe have a blast at the Mop?

OK so back on track.

Full service,
Bay tuck
Coilovers
LCA's
Front camber arms
Rear camber arms
New rims / toa style :-)
New bushes, 282's, 2.5 straight through, sparco/ bride seats way to much to list up right now.

Ive got my wedding in June once thats out the way I can throw some money at it, had a few doubts due to lack of funds right now as per the wedding etc but work have pulled though with some extra cash so alls good.

Im gunna get on to jerrick @ MeisterR see if he can work me a deal with the suspension bits etc..

Has your car got Alb? If so you will have to remove it if you want a clean bay as it looks shit in the bay, weighs a ton and takes up so much room. It isn't too hard to do, if you do want to come down tomorow and check out my bay I'll show you how I did it and you will be able to see how you could tuck the bay without having to love to many wires. Worst part is the vacuums around the inlet manifold as there's loads which look crap and bare shit on the bulkhead! I might be interested in selling my d2s soon, if you come down you can have a look. I'll be free all day except between 11 - 11.30 I'll pm you my number

Its just a bit extra for the SL's Cus. its what Baller_T has on the ek?



Ok so here's my little Saturday update.

First thing I did this morning was take apart the suspension on the front. I noticed some knocking recently, when I accelerate and brake there's a knock and you can feel it from under my feet / peddles and the steering doesnt feel that clever but hey its a 21 year old car. I just wanted to check the shocks hadn't blown, they haven't but noticed where my knocking noise was coming from, Pallent you'll know what I mean - 1 of the Radius rod bolts has snapped and this is giving extra movement in the bush at the front. Without the parts to fix I have put it all back together until I have some cash to sort out.

Next on my list was the IVAC to take apart and clean, so whilst the car was up in the air I went underneath to take the pipes off. I fail got a face full of engine water, which wasn't nice. I got it off and popped down to see Ben as I had nothing to clean it with, any way whilst down there he gave me this.............. But doesnt fit so gunna drop it back.



I then got busy and pulled all the induction kit apart, I also tidied up the once corner of the Bay hiding all the random wires out the way (OMG the wiring on this car is fucking awful) Got some black spray paint out the garage and tidied up the corner as best I could. One thing I do need is a Car battery secure - Eurocar parts :-) when I get some more cash.



I have also installed a cheeky inlet :-) may look gash now but does the job as the pick up on the car is now loads better along with cleaning the IVAC. Dont worry it shall be hidden very soon with some amber fogs :-)



Any way that's me done for the day.

should of just gone to a scrpa yard and got a battery tie down, wouldent cost much few quid.

or PW:JDM one, there cheap

Popped over to see Pallett earlier anyway ended up coming home with something Personal :-)
