ok so now a couple of months on... i found ke70.com and then well i found all the other sites and i was like whoah!!! and yeah so i decided to go and hunt on here for stuff to learn about.

 

well in the meantime i did things i already new how to do + a lil help from rollaclub.com of course!!

 

this included wasting my money on a full service and carbi shit and now I'm about to change to a weber. i t cost me 400 bucks f@$kin rip off and he didnt even do a full service.

 

anyway he said mate your radiator is about to die itll cost you about 400-500 for another one i was like hmmm.... :wink: i don't want to spend 400-500 on a shitty radiator... so i devised a plan that saveed me money!! i went to autobarn and bought a bonnet scoop haha. now she dosent even hit the warm mark haha!!! and only 30 bucks!!! :sob:

 

anyway heres pics of the stuff i did to it around that time...

[Ke ping it reals wifey]

What a dramatic transformation! Looks awesome now, Congrats!!! :sob:

[trav_555]

thankyou, ive put a lot of work into it, its getting there soon to finish hopefully by the end of the year, but i don't think it will ever be finished there will allways be more to do to it :sob:

 

its nice to drive around want more torque though haha

[Tume]

Wow to me that actually looks pretty good. I've been thinking about the bonnet scoop for a while now but haven't done anything about it. SA's laws about them confuse me a bit actually.

 

What part scares everyone at the lights do you know? The bonnet scoop or the bumper :sob: . Looking good for a cheap paint job.

[trav_555]

haha all of it lol, yeah I'm pretty happy with the paint, stuff washing it just give it another coat of paint!!!

I'm thinking about coilovers for the front... i have seen you can make them, how much would that cost approx?

i would say you can make them for around 1k using good parts, or if your cheap using adm brakes non adjustable shock mabye $600
