Standard S2K rails I think, got a nice couple of CD's left and forgotten about in the back pouch as well. Still they need a bloody good clean, I'll probably swap the bases over as a driver I want the best bolster, I've got the tape and upholstery foam ready anyhow.

S2K Seats were a bid fiddly but nothing major, not happy with the way one sits so I'll probably have to redo this at some point in the future.

New presents turned up today

Image

Look very nice. The box for the bonnet\roof was mahoosive and only just came in the back door, more pics later!

Image

Still waiting on the bodyshop for my arches and side work, can't install any of this stuff until it comes back from them.

Bonnet

Today a couple of small jobs, sorting my mat stay out and finishing my catch can brackets I made about a year ago so its not rattling around scratching up my bay.

I'll get some pics of the bumper up as well.

Loving the carbon there the bits I was looking at so I'm interested too see how the bits look and fit , as I wanted a boot and that spoiler but guessed if have to buy a new bonnet to match as mine is old and not se make

Get some pictures up dude , not saying our cars will be looking the same parked next too each other but could look cool on a magazine cover two k20 sols dressed in carbon

Do you have mental work for your car arch wise or having it made because mine were solid on old side and just at body shop ?

It looks solid enough underneath don't forget yours had much longer on UK salty roads and mine was garaged until I took it on, we'll see what happens when the outer panel is cut out I guess probably like opening pandoras box! I need to get it undersealed before the winter, this will have to wait until after JAE though. None of the carbon bits are going on until its back from the bodyshop so no more pics I can add at the moment.

Once JAE is out the way I can start on the motor

Sounds good I'm really liking the boot and spoiler is the spoiler a carbon copy of the ms one ?
I've been looking into mr2 electric power starting pumps today are you keeping your p/s or loosing it completely ?
This is what I found today not sure how easy it is tho ?

Not sure what I'm doing yet with any of th K plans (i use the term plans loose), I was speaking to Chris about this as I'll probably just end up winging it and solving problems and deciding what I'll do as I go along, trying to take a cost effective route, I'll be in no rush after JAE anyway.

I might end up turboing the B20, we'll see.

I have a rubber strip but I've never used or needed one on the last one so we shall see.

Looked at the mount points for the carbon boot and it only has the underside mounts nearest the firewall\window, none on the back spoiler side. So I need to be inventive to get this bolted up safe and secure. I don't like the idea of putting a whole number of holes in my lovely boot but I don't like the idea of it flying off either! It was clearly designed for a manual roof only (which makes sense as why would you want to save weight with a TT, just remove it and save KGs) It has the space for the number plate lights on none JDM cars so I might be able to fab something up with these. Looks like a pain in the arse though to be honest

Thinking spring toggle fixings, zip ties, duct tape (thats a joke BTW)

Been without the car for a week now, thought I'd get the roof panel ready for when its back. Looks alright, not a great match but from a distance it will be totally fine.

Still undecided about a front lip.
