Re: Jaffas 2.5 classic
 

right from monday i have a week off work, i also have brad down helping me, we plan on striping the inside out ready for the roll cage to be fitted, witch i hope turns up this week. not sure wether to run the car with carpets etc or to strip it out. the cage is a 6 point omp bolt in jobbie so still can retain the rear seats if i want.

also may even open the bonet and remove stuff ie engine.

also now looking a hydra ecu comes with mafles set up /knock control/anti lag/lanch control and seem to be a very good price. just dont know any one useing one :confused:

Re: Jaffas 2.5 classic
 

Exciting stuff Tone!!!! Have a good week!!!!

Re: Jaffas 2.5 classic
 

Lot's of money being spent mate :whistle:

Re: Jaffas 2.5 classic
 

Busy times ahead mate.Keep up the good work :doubleup:

Re: Jaffas 2.5 classic
 

the weather is getting nice now so i can have a few evenings in the sun with it :doubleup: hope the roll cage turns up this week so the bodyshop can get it painted. :norty:

Re: Jaffas 2.5 classic
 

nice stuff tone,i bet you love opening parcels now lol,its gonna be awesome

Re: Jaffas 2.5 classic
 

its like xmas most days lol

so today me and brad started striping the inside out ready for the cage to turn up, as we were distroying my car it arrived :D
most of the problems were down to my alarm systum, due to a very good install(too good:susp:). but other than that wasnt too bad.

i have been thinking for the last few weeks weather to have it striped or full interior. after removing a few things today ,I have decided to strip right out. so i have aranged with the body shop soon as i have striped fully and welded cage mounts and removed sound proofing, the inside is going to be paited in 406 silver with a bright blue cage:D

so while brad was cutting lots of wires:eek: i was chiping off sound deadaning, witch is a crap job:squint:
