not too shabby. i really like the wheels, very nice touch.

 

Looking good. Question, if you still have the stock fog lights where is the vented air coming from?

 

HE! HE! - You guys crack me up! haha.gif Just to clear up that little mis-understanding wink1.gif

Bonnet (Hood) is raised by 1/4" to the rear to allow heated air to exit the engine bay, rubber seals removed also...
Spoiler is off the car to have the posts raised by a couple of inches - kinda like the wild spoiler you find on the >2002 models...
Pretty sure the Coupe has been lowered before I had it - seems to sit 10mm lower than many others I've seen. I'd like to see it with a lift kit on, very Paris -Dakar rally!!!

H.K.C. - Yeah, you've got a Martini graphic'd RD1 in your sig - It'll be a pleasure, mate... smile.gif
FarShark - Cheers mate, duct works real well - and the SRI sounds amazing approve.gif
optimopirime - Cheers mate. Do you guys have the limited edition F2 EVO RD1 over there? Thats what the rims are off...

Mosal210 - These pics were taken recently - but I've only just done away with the foglights, I'll take some updated pics shortly - now the damned rain has stopped!!! Basically, I gutted the foglights, cut a 4" hole in the back of the housings and ran two 4" flexible ducts through the wheel arches, one from each housing. A bit of blending and some satin black paint finished the job... The passenger side (drivers side for you folks) feeds the Cone Filter. The other one is blowing on the rad, directly in front of the manifold - dunno if that one is doing much, I'll probably move it sometime...

Cheers folks...

 

i wish it were martini! it's the clarion/michelin livery. i even found the company that made the it! the F2 is only limited to the UK but two people have imported bumpers and there are about 3 copies driving around other than UK.

they should have made the F2 the equivalent of celica GT4 4wd turbo version they have in UK. the F2 EVO is like a fake rebadged version, nothing really too special about it.

haha yeah Rix bonnet is hood. hilarious.

Here ya go, mate - updated pic showing modified foglights smile.gif

HKC - yeah, I'm with you on the F2EVO thing - some heavier tuning would have been good, rather than the 1.8 cam and Magnex exhaust, etc. But hey, gives us lot somthing to do...

 

car looks good...only thing imo the rd1 does not look right for some odd reason to me w/o the shark spoiler

 

not too bad..

i say.. slam it.. i like the wheels.

get the spoiler back on.. i HATE rd1s without spoilers. interested to see the stocker raised..

not a fan of the WAI either.

post progress pics.

me too. but i have a friend who's got a 98 with rims in dark blue. it 'aint bad without a spoiler. kind of a subtle, classy look to it like cars were from the 30's and 50's.

you certainly can't drop it because of the bumpy UK roads. but i would put the foglights back in and throw some HID's. paint the calipers...

 

SOCKS - Spoiler is work in progress, hampered a bit by the fact I lost my job a week or 2 ago - so need the money for other stuff. It'll happen tho... WAI has a cold feed from the passenger foglight, so it gets PLENTY of cold when I'm driving. Made 131WHP recently, ('bout 170ish at the flywheel) so it's all good...

HKC - Certainly its not an option for me to drop the ride height, I'm a Heavy Plant operator and some of the places I have to take the car are shocking... Calipers are painted - you just can't see it too well cuz of the dust, need some harder pads...

 

Ahhhhhhhh the Red Bullet smile.gif good to see your showing your RD1 this side of the pond ... on the best forums in the States , yeah i got loads of info from here for my RD2 before upgrading to my V6 Elisa ... well enjoy and get educated by the great guys on here wink1.gif
