simongsi gsi project

Post by simongsi »

here's some pics of my new project needs a few bits sortin but thats all the fun of a project.
Image
Image
Image
new arch to be sorted.
Image
Image
exhaust to be replaced with somethin more oe looking
Image
engine to be recieving a full make over alloy tanks, powercap etcImage
the only mod is fse valve an gauge
Image
rolling roaded at 159.2 bhp before fse valve.

well things not goin as quickly as i'd hoped but managed to get a power cap cheap for an extra 5-8 bhp sounds bit more throaty aswell gonna colour code it same as car wen i finally get rest of bits an get it to paint shop ;D
powercap brought out of local paper bargain £40. they come with pipe all i did was fit a bit of metal pipe in between them and clamped them up, it does make it sound better even more so wen i get the panel filter and drilled airbox sorted 8-)

You seem to be going for darker rims, i like the polished rim, but i can see them getting really dated

aye white would look good dont go for polished lip and dark wheel imo thats a jap car theme plus with winter and the state of the uk roads the lip will get corroded and discolour very quickly
