Front coilies on, sits nice, usable is how id describe it


Now need to do the back.... weather and bad look slowed me right up


Also had a cat 1 alarm and immob fitted and the curse word turbo timer scene thing took out

Need a window reg desperately

Also sorted the curse word sound system so its less curse word

Not sure if i mentioned but my window reg on drivers window didnt work... and my pass front door interior light

Culprit for the light - door open sensor



New one


Bought window reg too


Thought i best get it done because window kept dropping



Stripped door


curse word as suspected


This came, (needs a wash before fitting) it was in a nice thick plastic wrapping



Used as a temp door liner as other is curse word


Steve williams had been at the car


Removed in what seemed to be single fibre squares at a time


Better


Fitted up


Black taped the kner pad - its curse word but has holes in door pad

Need new one of either - the pads are like £200 though 😭

Fitted rear coilies, going to let them settle before i wind them down, props will wind front up a bit tbh




De badged too


Made use of the letters


Bolted up the on side skirt held by cable ties - no pics

Going to have wheels done same as car, need to source a full set of brembos cheap too. Car has a few parking dings I'm goint to have removed

Its very solid underneat but covered in surface rust, in feb when kadett is painted I'm going to buzz this all off and underseal

Its also leaking in the boot which i need to fix

Starting to rust, probs my next thing to sort but the cover will make it less urgent...

Its all solid, most of this wiped off


Also wtf is that thing?

It has a spark plug in exhaust not plummed to anything? To do with this?

Washed so got pics











Took this out, it stinks and is manky so going to get my mam on a carpet clean


Tucked up for winter





Looks super secure lol

I bought a private plate on ebay for £250..... bargain if you ask me

Currently on the blokes scenic so no idea how to get it on my car?

It is


He had it on for £400 then changed listing for me when i offered £250

I will obviously manipulate it to be


Not sure if i like it on a square plate so may need to figure that out

[johnd]

Eventually pulled fingers out and got tyres in right size


Have the 225 45 17 eagle f1s for sale £150 firm if anyones looking? £300 worth and done 300 miles or so



Plans are -

Refurb wheels subaru bbs gold

Wind coilies down 40 mm front and 50 mm rear - add -1 camber if needed

Underseal

Fix 2 dings

7/8/9 brembos front and rear

Remove flocked dash and fit standard

[rickygolf83]

Looks a good un! :-)

Should have kept the retro flamer kit lol

[johnd]

Lol gave it too my mate - spits flames every time i let off anyway

[rickygolf83]

Bet it does. Cracking cars, long time since i've been in one sadly.

Pretty rare on the roads these days!

[johnd]

Yea the 5/6 are way more popular/desirable

It goes like the clappers and sits the mrs and two kids in comfortably so its an ideal weekend toy. Cant wait for the salt to curse word off and get it out

[vanpeebles]

Does it go BAM BAM like on Initial D?

[johnd]

Never seen initial d

[si2001]

I like the Evo, like what you've been doing to it too.

[sridgett]

So you have a cool as fook kadett and a EVO?! I'M not jealous at all.

[BT]

Haha I've not seen a coil in the boot for years!

I had a friend many years ago who had this, used to press a button in the dash for the full flame thrower out the exhaust pipe. At the time we obviously thought it was incredible.

Cool Evo, always liked them and have often wondered what was under the cover from your Vauxhall thread.
