1993 FXGT from AKL

Subject: 1993 FXGT from AKL Mon Feb 17, 2014 3:11 pm

Hey guys

As you know I now have a new FX GT (I'll post pics tonight).
I sent her through for a WOF (MOT) and with the condition she is in and what I know is wrong with her, she only failed on very little.
Park light not going.
Fog light not going.
R/R wheel bearing.
L/R sway bar link not even bolted up.

So I spent yesterday fixing those up, and will go for it recheck next Sat Very Happy

Just so everyone is one the same page I have now fitted the carbon bonnet, aftermarket head lights, twin potts with slotted rotors, 15" wheels and the MRP coilovers.
The interior has been tidied up.

Next to come is the rear sway bar, rear strut brace, new tires, new steering rake,and to drop in he new engine as this one is a bit poo.

Alright I had to change the bonnet pins.
Sooo.. here it is

First I had to drill into the front bar to install latching bar. I was lucky as the bonnet already had the hold in it so I could line up the bar quite easily.

I marked out the latch on the bonnet then had to drill through bonnet around the markings but leaving heaps of room for the just in case.
Once I had the holes drilled through it was tennis elbow time! filing the hole to fit the hatch. The carbon if quite soft and easy to file so it didn't take to long.

The almost finished product, all I have to do now is lay down the carbon wrap as the bonnet is quite old and cracked then to screw the latch down

Subject: Re: 1993 FXGT from AKL Sun May 11, 2014 8:44 am

Coming along nicely Jamie still believe the carbon should be on mine lol.

Subject: Re: 1993 FXGT from AKL Sun May 11, 2014 8:49 pm

Thanks Dave. How's things with you guys?

Subject: Re: 1993 FXGT from AKL Tue Jun 24, 2014 5:02 am

I like what you did, with the old hatch and now this one. This is definitely a better way to start off modding. Looking forward to the updates.

Subject: Re: 1993 FXGT from AKL Thu Jan 01, 2015 6:02 pm

Its been a while since I updated so I thought I should.
So of you will know I've sold the black top from the car and I've dropped in a hybrid 20v.
She's all up and running and I'm putting K's under her trying to wear it in, although its burning a lot of oil (blue smke) and smoking a lot of white smoke on start up.
Pics to follow
