that looks like the blue prints for a macdonalds beef burger. seriously though, very impressed. nice to see a proper job being done.

Had the valance stamped out but I can't find a company with rollers small enough to the radius I want. Here's a picture of the flat.

Hi all,

I decided to bend this up myself in 6mm increments using a power folder. I drew all the marking on the CAd and printed them 1:1. I stuck these onto the back of the flat plate to save time in marking the 18 bends I need to form the radius.
I've offered it to my car but the old valance is in the way but you get the idea.
So what do you think, yes, no?
I haven't bead blasted it yet as I don't know whether to fit it or not. If it looks crap then I'll go centre exit.

Your opinions please.

looks nice, but i think it would look better in a darker metel, also i think the fit around the exhaust could be a bit different to suit the exhausts, other than that though i think its the dogs b's mate !

Fianlly decided on centre exit as the tailpipes are much bigger.
Went to Peco to have the centre exit pipes made up. They did a really good job. Note the link pipe between the two, this is the secret weapon which give it a different exhaust note unlike two seperate pipes. The waves bounce of each other to give it a unique sound.

Wow that looks sweet...

And i guess it sounds it too ?

Thanks Mark,

Haven't been on for a while. The last mod I've done is a lower front spoiler. It's 50mm lower than the last one! Here's some pics. Was trying to make the last meet but with family commitments, it's hard to get to these. Will try again soon. Bought a new car which I plan to play with a bit.

As slick as ever

Verynice.

Thanks! I have just bought another car for the summer. A saab 9-3 Aero Convertible (new shape). Will post some pics when I get round to it. I want to upgrade power using the BSR chip upgrade and a few other bits. Will put a seperate post.
I also want to buy a Nissan 200SX S13 as this was my favourite shape out of the 200's. I remember when they first came out, I was only 18 and dreamed of owning one. They look better than the S14 IMO. A few years later I managed to buy a Sylvia turbo E reg but could never afford a 200SX.
There's not much more I can do to the Esprit without some serious money (gearbox upgrade £4K and chargecooling it £2K) to get 500BHP, so I want to use the 200SX as a 'driving to track and back again car'.

Goodlad.

Try sxoc and driftworks for the s13.

Prob best getting a 180sx though as they have the 2 ltr in them.
