that is spot on!

Good little write up there Bob

Although it's hard to put across the amount of time & effort (and money

) you've put into it.
You need to get some pics of the bits we've removed from it over the last couple of years, especially all the HICAS crap...

I've got a pair of the Driftworks ones on my Sil80. They seem like pretty good value for money, but I've not done that many miles on them yet to test their durability. They did go to Le Mans and back with no problems once the locking collars for the adjustable part were done up good and tight after I'd got the alignment done

You have a great taste, all your mods are done TOP NOTCH!

I really like how the F50's turned out, look like the 8 potters!
That you would actually repaint them again if you'd change wheels really shows your attention to detail! Love it.

chas · 30th June 2009, 06:32 PM

What a great thread this is, well done fella.

Bob already repainted them twice before they went on the car - once in gold, but they clashed with the wheels, then again in silver as they are now. That really is dedication!

Good work fella! Seeing your dash is driving me even further to having mine flocked.

I also like your considered approach. Doing things as and when and not being afraid yo re-do something if it doesn't work out/things change.

Pity I missed you at Le Mans this year but BG was just too far for the beer scooter to take me!

Must resist the urge to offer to buy your old parts too...

fourtoes · 4th July 2009, 07:22 PM

Thanks so much for all the wicked comments everyone! Im continually inspired by everyone of you and the effort you all put into your own creations. Im just glad you guys can get a little pleasure out of my fiddlings!

cheers all.
bob

P.s.
Cris I always fancied me on one of those beer scooters!

Marko R1 · 6th July 2009, 04:43 AM

beautiful car

does that greddy hardpipe kit sit any higher than the original hardpipe with 'twin turbo' badge on it? reason i ask is that i have an rb26/30 in my r32 & i wonder if the hardpipe kit will give me more bonnet clearance?

where did you get the top alloy radiator brackets?

the dash looks fantastic, is this something you can do yourself or leave it to the experts?

fourtoes · 6th July 2009, 08:22 AM

Hi Marko yeh i think the Greddy hardpipe kit deos sit quite high im affraid, I can see where the bonnet has jut touched the very top sitting pipe, (my bonnet does seem to move quite allot at speed though so it may also be down to this, but i've now got my Aerocatch pins fitted, thanks to Lewis so im hoping this helps).
The flocking is great! You can actually get kits to do it youself, but to be honest I had a go and it looks ok but so particularly even, id definately recommend getting it done professionally, its not crazy expensive, (about 250 pounds for the whole lot) and just looks so good and modernises the look of the 32 dash.
Hope this helps buddy.
