If the pictures are too big to upload to the forum, get them on photobucket or something similar then copy and paste the direct link, then it will display here.

Re: nooooooooooob
I wouldnt be fitting cav 4x4 stuff if your going to have to fabricate, id be using something like evo/celica/vag etc not the cav stuff
Re: nooooooooooob
Welcome to the site
Sounds like youve got great plans for the cav but i do have to agree with gaz on this one. After youve spent months welding and cutting you will be extremely dissapointed if you fit the cav 4x4 bits, if your gonna go to this much effort then fit a differant system.
Thats coming from me who has a turbo now and has also had 3 others in the past.

Re: nooooooooooob
I hear you its a fare bit of work but not as much work as putting parts from a completely different make of car on it, that's allot more involved and i don't have laser levels or any high-tec tool's, all my work is done on the drive way so it's got to be within my means. But everything will be taken apart and upgraded like the diffs and transfer box and the box it's selfGaz wrote:I wouldnt be fitting cav 4x4 stuff if your going to have to fabricate, id be using something like evo/celica/vag etc not the cav stuff

Re: nooooooooooob
would it be safe to assume the 4x4 let never happened then?

they check the level when it's serviced don't they?"

Those seats look extremely uncomfortable!

Re: nooooooooooob
I've got some epdm & neoprene padding with adhesive backing to be fitted to the seats which is 15mm thick. I've also got some cushions on Velcro for the sides by the tops of my legs & ribs so it should be ok

You're only down the road from me! Well down the Upton Bypass Autobahn anyway
Certainly looks different with the bodykit etc, does look evil in it's own way. Smoke the headlamp inserts, that would look awesome!!
