[R1PPU]

Haha, you had quick progress and now its died down, hurry up man!

 

[Oxigen_cult]

awesome work there!

keep going

 

[Nuno@Camtec]

I know I'm teasing but got the rest of my fuel system from Earls today

It's due for a big update guys just want a few more bits done first!

With the flocking basically, the parts are degreased then glue is sprayed onto the part, once it starts to tack, the panel is negatively charged and the flock gun is positively charged, this allows the flock fibres to fully stand up while the glue dries so you get 100% coverage as well as that proper flocked feel and look.

TIME FOR EPIC UPDATE

sorry guys, ive been sooo busy its insane!!

pretty annoyed too that someone over on civiclife has just painted their EK THE SAME COLOUR!!!!

Hard to complain but its just ironic that no one has painted an ek laguna seca and in space of 4 months theres 2 but meh mine will be more epic.

its been quite some time but i will try keep everything in order lol

right enough chat on with some pics!!

After the pedals were in the next thing to do was get the subrame sorted and looking nice again.

got the rack back in there

Then Mr Epic whiteline

and then my gearbox mount

By then the ****er was quite heavy lol but must man on

and fitted

Next I picked up some treats...

Loving the flocking extremely well done.

then me being **** about things lol

Then i got too busy with other work and lacked some motivation, Tegboy came round and give me some in form of "this is what your missing out on"

So then i got on with it and....

Then started mocking up fuel systems and stuff.

Then Picked up some more flocking.

This time in their custom grey, a nice mix for the rear of the car.

Rear will be this grey and front full black. Like a B5 Rs4.

stashed them upstairs not to get damaged.

Then i filled the rear quarters with expanding foam.

This was NOT to cover rust, it was to keep unwanted noises out like stones etc, as mentioned in the start i want a nice ek this time round where its not a pain to drive.

 

[Nuno@Camtec]

Then done some more work on the fuel system

Kinda ran out of things to do fuel wise, so mocked up the remainder of parts needed and off to nice earls lady i went.

and 30 mins later back at home with these

later that day went and picked up more flocking parts to finish my headlining etc.

heres some before sun roof

then sunroof back on

then got the headlining back on too with the rest of the flocked parts.

 

[Nuno@Camtec]

Then done some more work on the fuel system.

Didnt like the previous idea for the swirl pot so relocated it to deep in the boot.

Got myself a new white board lol

Finished couple of mock up bits on the fuel system

Then got some low pressure hose and high pressure hose.

Moved on back to the engine bay

NTP to Metric oil feel piece.

I know my oil cooler is stupid close to my compressor housing.

1 of 3 things will happen.

1 - cooler gets moved
2 - new manifold
3 - cut the manifold accordingly (will reduce lag too)

Then made my new clutch line.

quick close up of my fuel lines, basically done these to keep bay tidy and also quick disconnect if engine ever needs out.

 

[Nuno@Camtec]

Then started on the light/auxc loom

then soldered them

#

Now back inside the car.

Putting heating and loom back in.

then finished the internal fuel lines.

Wrapped the High pressure braided line inside rubber copex.

This is to prevent the hose shorting out if the car gets bad earths.

 

[Nuno@Camtec]

Then finished the loom on the other side.

Ran an extra line of copex for the battery cable.

Then put carpet back down.

Stuck my foot rest on too.

Next step was to make the washerbottle look acceptable in my boot, so got the hot knife out.

test fitted my dc2 rear bench to see how it felt to sit on, was all fine.

And how the bottle looks now.

.

Thats all up to date now guys bar 2 weeks. which i will try to keep on top of lol

Looking to have it running by end of april so fingers crossed may see a few tracks this year.

Quick question about your mother flocking parts... lol did you do the flocking your self or send it off to get done? i would love to flock my dash while its out during my swap but it look extremely messy to do on my own... i also dont want it to turn out like crap haha

Hey dude, after much humming and thinking i decided to get it done elsewhere for a few reasons.

A decent flocking machine will cost £600 upwards

Ive never done it before and didnt wana trial it on my baby lol

and because i managed to wingle in and now get stuff at a lower rate than most people do etc, not to mention the quality is 2nd to none.

Lovley build mate, some of this made me laugh, especially the bit where you dropped the sunroof on your head. I did it too haha.
