Dan76 Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 Well after a few months trying to make up my mind if I should build or buy I have now bit the bullet and got myself a lovely zetec powered FW. Thanks for all the advice I had from everyone it really helped in making sure I made the right decision. Looking forward to getting out and about and meeting some of you at various events around the country. 2 Quote
shrops-paul Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 I did the same last month after years of dallying about. You wont regret it Ive been out in mine twice this weekend in the sunny weather. 1 Quote
wackydo Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 That looks very nice, a good decision for sure. You've got a great base to start modding from. Quote
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 Good choice and a lovely colour! Quote
B.RAD Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 That looks lovely! I bet you can't get the smile off your face Quote

Monitorlizard Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 Must compliment you on your choice of colour.Nice looking car. Quote
Murraymint Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 Nice looking motor…enjoy and start spending on the mods…. Quote
Dan76 Posted April 20, 2015 Author Posted April 20, 2015 Cheers. i have not picked the car up yet so only got a few photos to tide me over. the car comes with a full Jenvey TB kit so thats a planned modification. I might leave that one until the winter though as I don't want to miss out on this years good weather. First mods need to be the removal of the seat runners to give me a bit more room, the cars fitted with the sport turbo seats I figure if theres still not enough room then I'll maybe make the change to some JK's. I'm also planning to fit a slightly smaller quick release steering wheel. Quote
Pistol Pete Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 Looks great, enjoy and welcome to the club. Quote

I did this on my last one and this one to and it makes a massive difference. Dave Quote
Martyn Vann - Warwickshire AO Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Hi and to the club. The car looks great and I'm sure you will enjoy every minute of driving in it. I would agree that it is a good idea to drive this summer as is and upgrade to the Jenveys during the winter. However, I may be taking a bit of a liberty here but if you decide to change the seats I may be interested in the sport turbo seats if you are looking to sell them at some point in the future? Quote

Will keep you in mind for the seats if I remove themI just need to get as low and as far back as possible to get my knees out of the way of the wheel as much as possible. Suspect a move to a 280mm wheel spaced forward a bit and some GRP seats might be the best option. Can anyone with the JK's fitted confirm if the slope of the rear seat follows the slope of the rear bulkhead fairly closely so you can get the seat as far back as possible. Quote

Yes it does. you can also use packing pieces/washers at the front or rear of the seat to get the tilt right. Quote
