N77's ex now being sorted by Simon & Jamie Yeah I would change the adjustment first and try it again. I know you were looking at changing back to OEM but if this was set up right, it would be a great addition [emoji6] Had a look and the adjustment is shown on the side, so just need to...

I didn’t mate, I just changed the filter for a Pipercross one and left it alone at the moment. My plan was to go stage 2 this year but with everything that’s gone on, it’s not going to happen [emoji26] so would have got a R600, turbo elbow etc... Hopefully next year if I can get a new job...

At least I can see my plans being done on the car at least [emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thought the plate was familiar unless you're doing some form of engine swap [emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I tried to rename it for you Si, but it won’t let me, unless Admin can sort it for you. N77s and now Simons Track day project or something [emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A bit of a follow on from the drawing, the car has been in the garage since and not touched it yet [emoji23] They went and used the picture of the mustang I did the t shirts they sell, all sold out now too. Should have asked for some commission [emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Also busy drawing on my iPad Pro, if you don’t follow me on Instagram or friends on Facebook then you may not have seen them, but this is one I did of my Golf. I also did one for a YouTuber (CalvinsCarDiary’s) and he subsequently posted it on his Instagram so did get a few more requests to do...

Forgot to update this... So the car was cleaned, decontaminated and clay bar’d prior... I had not long cleaned it and removed tar spots and fall out remover, car was used for a couple of short journeys and left outside the rest of the time, so it just shows what crap gets on it just sitting...

I know of a few sellers on Facebook that maybe able to assist. I bought a kit ages off eBay for prefacelift but have never got round to sort them, the lights are cheap so I managed to get some genuine fogs off a bumper I bought with some fitted Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They look like prefacelift if it has those covers and brackets Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Front now done too [emoji16] While the wheels were off I did inside the arches as well, won’t be like this for long once it gets used, but hey it maybe easier to clean next time around now it’s treated. So again while the wheels were off I throughly cleaned them, clay bar’d, polished and...

So continued with the cleaning side of it... So inside the rear arches and the nasty rusted discs, even though it’s not that old, so decided to tidy it up. Discs and surrounding masked or covered, wire wheel and then etch primer, and then VHT paint. Gave it a couple of coats of primer...

Here you go Mark, is it a bad shape if you won this one haha https://dreamcargiveaways.co.uk/current-competitions/500hp-golf-r-estate/ So a little quick swap over now I have finished modifying it to fit it. Before After Black VW badge for the rear with the inlay part painted instead...

They are not too bad, this is a friend of mine who needs the larger boot Think it depends on the colour of it as well Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Next I had to address the state of the exhaust tips, they weren’t cleaned when I got the car, and all I had done was clean it myself but not a proper clean, so I set about getting them shiny again. As they are so close to the rear bumper, I jacked the car up and undone the 2 bolts that hold...

So the next job was to fit my second Maxton front lip on the car, I bought another just before Christmas but was waiting for the weather and the time to fit it, properly this time [emoji23] so was perfect timing to get it sorted. So off with the grill first of all... Then the bumper, it was...

So seeing as I can’t do much else, over the last week or so, I have been sorting a few bits on the Golf [emoji16] Started by giving it a good clean as it had loads of tar spots and iron fallout, so this needed addressing first. Then the first little few bits I needed to fit were the inlays...

Still looks good on standard wheels And together with the other ‘R’ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So this happened in the Black Friday sale :) VAG Sport Res Delete, quick delivery too and free, although for just a bit of pipe it’s expensive for what it is, but the fitment have been spot on from what I’ve seen. So went down to Dan at HondaHQ today to get it fitted, sent him a vid to...

Haha always come back to one [emoji1787] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So I fitted the Maxton front lip, looked great 2 days later :( After a run on the M54 at *cough cough the splitter came away from the bumper, so I had to get it off to continue the journey, after it had chipped and scraped on the road, so it’s no good :( Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I spoke too soon when I posted this haha Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So went to Anglesey at the weekend, didn’t go on the track itself but got a couple of pics around it. Quite impressed with the camera on the iPhone 11 pro, but did use the DSLR as well Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Getting them sorted so should be good Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I could but that would be too easy lol I wanted the shorter plates as the less plate the better, didn’t count for the holes though :( Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So thought today I would finally get to fit my Maxton front splitter, no such luck... I had a well deserved lie in this morning so didn’t really get started until this afternoon, which was my mistake haha Got it in place and drilled a couple of holes that line up with existing mounting points...

Still looking good, it must be decent car as it’s been how long now you’ve owned it [emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s officially my car now... Plate assigned and a new shorter 4D one added. Need to try and sort something at the front though, as the holes show from the plate holder. I have put some rubber bungs in at the moment so looking at some other solutions. Put some new indicators in at the...

Well that’s the end of this one from me... New owner or owners should I say have been and collected it today. I’m sure some will know who it is already but I’m sure they will post a thread shortly... Signing out from one Civic Type R at the moment Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A modification I can actually swap over from my last car to the new one... Before: After: Nice and easy swap over :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah, Stratford is not too bad. Let me know when you go again and can always meet up with you there. Or maybe even a little TRO meet :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Still need to visit Caffeine & Machine... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

All back home with a takeaway on the way back, tucked up (just about) in a garage for safe keeping until I'm back [emoji16] Sent from my CLT-L29 using Tapatalk

Just collected, the car its replacing next to it. It took longer than I thought so it will be home and in the garage until next week when I'm back Sent from my CLT-L29 using Tapatalk

Woohoo collection day [emoji38] And the mods are already arriving [emoji23] Sent from my CLT-L29 using Tapatalk

I still have the one Civic (although broken at the moment lol) I am trading in my Passat for this, which has a DSG box, as well as selling the track Civic. I have been really impressed with the DSG, smooth gear changes and even more so on the drive I have been on in the Golf so far, don’t pick...

But it’s not Honda now.... 2017 Volkswagen Golf R, as it’s the Mk 7.5 it has the virtual dash, newer stereo system, redesigned front and new rear lights, also it’s 310ps, so around 307bhp :) and this has the upgraded 19s and panroof. Already looked at DTUK as it’s still under...

I have also watched the series as I was interested in one before but seeing this made me want one that little bit more lol I have seen loads of you tube vids of R’s like Arthur’s 600bhp that another you tuber bought and changed, then raffled it off so had to have ago just in case, he then...

I’ve not really been working on it much the last few weeks but when I have something has happened or ****ed me off. I have the opportunity to get out of it, obviously losing a little money as I didn’t do it to do that anyway, but my enthusiasm has gone for it to be honest, and for me to fully...

Fitment is spot on yeah, very good. I ended fixing it on with Gorilla double sided tape and it fits perfect. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

N77’s Track Day epthree Project So a bit of an update... Went and took it to Area motorsport to get set up track spec, springs were also changed at the rear and the top mounts were swapped at the front. They set up the ride height etc... Also left them to check everything over so did a...

They are the original Mitsubishi ones with some H gel stickers on top Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Back on the road officially now, MOT now done and passed, insured and now just need to tax it now it has an MOT haha Needs a good old clean inside as it’s filthy in there, outside is not too bad but has been sat outside mine for a good few weeks... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

N77’s Track Day epthree Project So far so good [emoji16] Looks pretty decent from a rattle can and done in the garage, looks sound with the badge on too. Will fit it to the bumper tomorrow Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

N77’s Track Day epthree Project Just to get some more air to the radiator really, not a big fan of the holes so got the vent to finish it off better. Will probably replace the rad at some point as well and possibly an oil cooler Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Cleaned up the front bumper ready for fitting the number plate vent surround and fog scoops Also the grill has been removed and sold ready to fit the Mugen style one. Need to fit the bumper to the car first then I’m going to fit the grill permanently with the same stuff as the scoops...

Thanks man, I am most definitely and not long now. So got done doing base coat last night and left it drying. Wet sanded tonight and then hit it with 3 coats of clear... Will let it dry now for a couple of days before doing anything with it. Might have to wet sand as a damn Nat or...

This also happened yesterday... Got my own trailer to save the hassle of hiring one. Not so much the hiring of it but the picking up, dropping off malarkey that proved more troublesome. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

N77’s Track Day epthree Project Work in progress.... Sanded down as it had a few imperfections so had to use a thicker primer... Let it dry overnight as I had a little issue with it reacting to something, so sanded that section down and reprimed it. Ok this time, so put another layer on...

Have the one that I’m going on at Curborough still available https://sprintandtrackday.co.uk/collections/curborough-events/products/curborough-sprint-course-11th-september-2019 All on the lift at HondaHQ to have the bits done, within a few minutes it had its subframe off lol Some of the...

So I managed to get a carbon Delta styling lip for the Mugen spoiler to swap it from the normal black one I had on... So thought I might as well use the one I had taken off for the track Civic [emoji16] Before After With the blade being black anyway it goes nicely. Need to get it fixed...

Expect another one shortly.... lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So managed to briefly do some bits on it today... Removed the front bumper so I can start to do my modifications. Started by fitting the fog scoops I had painted. They put that much stuff on to fix the metal tabs it was not going into the hole. So had to remove and trim these first before...

Yeah it’s local ish so it’s not too far to travel, so have plans in mind of doing Anglesey in November. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How come you're selling?? Thought you had it all sorted now? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

All painted gloss black and cleared too. Had a mishap with one of the cans and it leaked and was dripping all over the place so does have a couple of runs, but not fussed as it will hardly be seen on the number place vent thing Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Glad it’s sorted but you need to get a duster on that dash lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So not really much done since as basically no time lol Managed to fit the X Brace after I painted it with the correct colour to match the cage, although I do have plans to change colour of both... but it will have to wait. Fit was spot on, it mounts to the original brackets of the OEM...

Which ones? The silver or the carbon ones? I bought both off the forum many moons ago, I do still have the silver ones somewhere Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Blimey, didn’t realise how long it’s been since I last posted any update on this... It’s not been out the garage until the other day, those are the last couple of events I went to last year, BTCC at Silverstone and also Mimms at Santa Pod earlier in the year. It’s now on axle stands to...

So it finally touched the ground wahoo!!! Although the front is now back up so I can sort a couple of last few bits... Also took the X Brace out and got it cleaned up, etch primed and painted in the exact same black as the Safety Devices cage. Also got the other Civic on the axle stands...

Well the day didn’t start off great, had a stomach bug and felt sick and diaorea but seem to get better later so went to the folks to sort the car... Took forever to get this damn bolt in the cage plate, typically it’s the one right in the corner and the hardest one to get too. But finally...

So the floor is not looking too shabby, turned out better than I expected off using spray paint, which now leads me to the rear. I have purchased some more primer and paint to do it, but in the interest of getting it finished to use it at some point this year, I have decided to tackle that...

Blimey that’s something we don’t see often from you Dotty, you’ve kept it long enough to tax it [emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So after the primer had dried after a day or so, removed the paper from masking the already painted section, as I thought I would spray the new coat over it slightly... So ready for paint all over, I did a couple of coats, however after 1 coat I was running low so went and got a couple of...

Thought I might as well give it a go. My intention was to leave it and do it at a later date, but while everything is out I thought I might as well. what’s there was taped and hung up out of the way.... treated around the handbrake cables and used etch primer, now 2 coats of grey primer, not...

So connected the Hybrid Racing shifter up properly now and WOW the gears feel so close and tight now, the old shifter was really loose though but it feels great, and the hole is perfect. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I used the original dash piece to get the location correct but the hole saw was not as big as the hole needed, as it was the biggest available, also I’m trying to make the hole as small as possible. So will check if the shifter functions correctly first, then if not make the hole a little larger...

Well I finally managed to have some time working on the car yesterday, with the weather being so rubbish on days I have been free, I have also been busy working. Managed to start on my dash and drill some holes for the gauges and shifter, big thanks to Hazz for one of the hole saws for this job...

Well got home, had my tea and then there was just enough light to do this :) B-Pipe fitted along with the back box The fitment I have to say is spot on even over the slightly larger Progress ARB I am running, as above. Doesn’t seem to hang low either unlike my M2 one I have on the other...

So my mid pipe exhaust hanger arrived on Tuesday but wasn’t my normal postie :( so it got took back to the PO as it needed a signature, so got it picked up yesterday :) So may have a go at fitting the rest of the exhaust later, as the sun is out so will be some good daylight today I reckon...

Progress made slowly yesterday thanks to some stubborn bolts. Tried to remove the heatshield on the standard manifold to get to the bolts to remove that. Top two came off no problems but the lower ones were being the awkward ones, managed to use the sockets I had to remove rounded off nuts to...

So a couple of coats of Satin Silver but it’s obviously not what they used as it’s a lot different to what’s down. Think it’s the excuse I need but thinking of doing the whole lot now lol Also on the plus side the manifold heat shield is now off, so I will tackle removing and fitting the new...

So I have finally managed to start working on the car properly again today. The aim was to finish off underneath and remove the standard manifold so I could then fit the new header and exhaust, so I can give it a start up and run. I removed the side skirts to get better access to the sills so...

All that work and you have let it go so quickly [emoji54] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They look okay from a distance but they were sprayed DIY I think so it’s not the best, bought them cheap with tyres though so as they were going to be track wheels I didn’t bother. But can get them powder coated pretty cheaply so will get them done shortly, possibly grey/anthracite I think...

No photos taken but bled the brakes today with a bit of help from my Dads mate, wanted to make sure I did them right, he was a mechanic before he retired for 20 odd years so best to get guidance as I had never even changed pads before haha Luckily he was there as spotted a leak off one of the...

Thanks for that, I don’t mind returning back to you if you want it back, as I will only use it for this and that’s it. I have had a look and can’t seem to find a 52mm either, did find a kit with a 53mm. Found this kit on Amazon with a 50mm included as well as some smaller ones, so may need the...

Cheers for that, I have been googling on the subject of making holes haha. Yeah, looking at somewhere else to get the mounts done, my only issue is that the car is stuck on the folks drive still at the moment, so limited where I can take it, as it has no exhaust so cannot start it and the...

New part arrived [emoji16] Have been waiting ages for these to come back in stock with SW Motorsports. Basically it’s 1 piece and made of Carbon so can be custom to what you want to put in it. I will need to do the circle around the gear selector and then some holes for my gauges, but that’s...

Well nothing really happening with it at the moment, as not back to full strength to mess properly at the moment. Had to take some pics of my brakes to send off to try and sort some lines that will fit, so had to remove the wheel and move out the caliper, and it knackered me out just doing that...

So still managing to work on it from my hospital bed yesterday lol Managed to get someone to come and weld my plates in for the cage to be fitted. Have ordered some primer and paint from Halfords for it as well. I’m out of hospital now but have been told to take it easy for a few days, so...

Still in at the moment, they have said possibly the weekend. A lot better today, took the drips off so seem a bit more for it. I have managed to eat a bit more today. Still having injections to thin the blood out, so just waiting on that to clear now and I should be okay Sent from my iPhone...

Otherwise okay, and no issues which is why it was a bit of a shock to say the l least. I got back from the match at Wembley on Sunday. Walking back to the car park with my dad and was struggling to breathe, it was like I had been on a hard workout or something. So rested a little then tried...

So unfortunately after the match on Monday this happened... It turns out I had DVT which is deep vein thrombosis which I had no idea, but the doc noticed one of my legs was slightly swollen. If it left untreated then it develops into a pulmonary embolism. This occurs when a piece of blood...

Not much has happened since the last update:( Been working straight but unfortunately I was bad on Thursday, then okay but then last night/this morning it came back :( So was due to carry on working on it today before work tonight, but no such luck. I’m off to Wembley tomorrow as well for the...

So part one.... So this was before I started after the other day, majority of it came off but where someone had gone crazy with the seam sealer, it was stuck on. So about to start and I began on the drivers side with the heat gun and scrapers. Surprisingly it came off quite well with it...
