MattMY99's Hatch Build Thread

[Jimmy S]

Bombed brutha... Is that wheel upgrade still happening? or has that been put off now?

[mattmy99]

The wheel upgrade and suitable body modifications to match that I mentioned to you in the past have been put off. Mainly because I'm not 100% sold on the quality of the kit to achieve such fitment . ie. HT autos widebody kit.
However, I'm now thinking bolt on 240zx flares are a better option to allow the width and fitment i want.
This:



With either these:

or these:

[TROLLEY]

wow... never seen under the bonnet or the interior before. Love the colour.

[red dragon2002]

both rims look hot man...

recently wasn't there a red wagon that had a wide body kit that got sold? was wondering could the kit be from hk auto's?

have seen their website, the wagon wide body looks great, but the other thing is the fitment obviously...

Cheers mate. I found out on Friday morning that the glass panel (which originally was perspex... and was stupidly changed to glass by someone other than myself) isn't made to support a 9kg gas bottle.
Well, maybe it was, as long as you don't try to cross bumpy train tracks...

It can look awesome. What concerns me is the unrealistic expectation that fibreglass, metal, bog and paint all expand and contract at the same rate.
Sure, it'll look good for a while... but for how long?

Liking the plans for finally boosting it up Coops!!
Why E42.5 over straight E85 though?

Mainly the increased running cost mate. I'm not baller enough for straight E85.
By all accounts, 50:50 is enough to pretty much "ping proof" the motor.

Soooo good Matty!

IMHO, easier to run straight e85 if you can be bothered doing the fuel system and line upgrade.. mixing fuel is a pain in the arse and ends up costing much the same, as you really need to buy it in pre measured 19L drums to get the mix exactly right with 19L of u98.

Shiiiitttt, surprised it hasn't shattered already from the SPL :P

If I'm not mistaking..Type R?

looking really good, as TJ said, rims and brakes compliment very nicely.

Looks forward to the dyno when you boost her up!

Ah righteo, I was just thinking while you're going to the trouble of having to mix and pump fuel at home you might as well go straight E85, but I haven't looked into the costs/benefits so I really don't know what I'm talking about
