Build Threads / Phils 4thirty Build on YouTube!
« on: March 01, 2021, 07:37:50 PM »
Hi guys,

During lockdown, I thought I would use some of my spare time to take my 4thirty build thread and make a series of youtube videos which may be of interest to new and seasoned kit car builders.

My channel is called "Fun2Fix" and also has various other videos (some on my Porsche 911).

I have just created Part 1, take a look here https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdtDSMdMRkzYWbhShyElb7moJSeYm_ypZ and if you like it, please subscribe to my channel and switch on notifications to receive information when new videos are posted.

If you like the videos, please click on the thumbs up and also feel free to leave a comment!

Enjoy!!

Regards
Phil "Fun2fix"

Sales and Wants / Reluctantly selling my 4Thirty....
« on: July 27, 2016, 04:42:35 PM »
Due to lack of time, I am reluctantly selling my DNA F430 Spyder replica.

It was built by myself for the most part, but I had DNA complete the bodywork for me before letting DNA also paint it. The build was completed April 2015, and since then, I have done less than 1000 miles in it, hence why I am selling, I just dont have time to use it!

I have a complete build diary on the DNA owners forum here for you to look at:

http://www.dnaoc.co.uk/index.php/topic,3264.0.html

Donor is a 2003 MR2 Roadster SMT or Synchronous Manual Transmision, bit like paddle shift, these are rare!
It has MOT until April 2016 and has done approx. 73k miles

The kit is the standard DNA 4Thirty body kit plus ALL the extras (fake calipers, interior, fake engine etc)

I have also purchased a real F430 center console and had this covered in the matching leather of the seats, but I havent had time to fit this in yet. The wing mirror adjuster switch and hazard warning switch have both been extended to fit into it. I also had heated seat pads installed into the seats when done and they also require wiring into the console.

I also had the "Aero Kit" fitted to mine including the rear wing, and to make it look like the Hamann styling, I have had the rear diffuser painted red and the fins painted black, this looks awesome!

Take a look at the pics and the build thread and any questions please ask.

I will throw in EVERY part I have left over for this including a full set of MR2 wheels in case you need to remove  the replica ones for any reason.

One small bad point is that the engine has an intermittent rattle of which I dont know what it is and havent time to investigate, I have priced it appropriately because of this.

I want a quick sale, so I am letting this go for the bargain price for these cars of just £22,000 and would be looking for a very close offer to this price. The car is available near Hull

Sales and Wants / WANTED: Standard exhaust manifold including pre-cats
« on: April 09, 2016, 12:18:57 PM »
Guys,

Just took my car to MOT and after scraping through last year on emissions, this year it failed :-(

Im sick of this now, so Im looking for an original exhaust manifold that still has the precats installed as I want to fit this back on to make it easier to get through MOT's.

I know some of you guys replaced the original one with stainless steel etc and wondered if any of you have the original one knocking about your garage!

Oh, its a pre facelift car but I think they are the same as the facelift....

Regards
Phil

Sales and Wants / MR2 PFL Centre console wanted
« on: July 06, 2015, 08:20:42 AM »
hey guys,

I need to get rid of the green machine now, so I need a centre console to put in it to make it look OK, as I have it in my 430 at the moment after cutting my original one up!

Anyone got one kicking around their garage?

..not sure if the PFL one is any different to the FL ones...

Anyone interested in having a ride out with your car and attending the Luxury Motor Show next year?

http://www.luxurymotorshow.com/about-the-show-2/

I went last year and it was an amazing day out, real supercars everywhere!

Its a charity event and owners of expensive cars bring them along for people like us to drool over. They also have a passenger ride in a supercar you can pay extra for, last year they had a Ferrari California as one of the cars, as well as lambos, astons and loads of others.

The event costs £12 plus handling fee to get in, a cheap day out I think.

I will defo be going in the 4Thirty (which should be ready by then!) and just wondered if anyone else would be interested.

If we get a lot of interest, they may even allow us to display the cars at the show.....otherwise we could all meet up outside and all drive into the car park together.

Guys,

I came across this link the other day http://www.kitcarz.co.uk/

its a very detailed build diary for an Extreme 360 and the guy really tells the truth about the full build, good and bad points.

As he seems to be a very practical car building guy, he mentions early on about what a dangerous car builders can end up with unless, like him, they add lots of extra welding and safety features not detailed in the DVD...how many builders do that!

Anyway, its very interesting and if you have a some spare time its worth reading (im only up to about the 4th part!)

Any of you Northern guys interested in this?

I think I will be going in the Porsche!

Would be good to have a couple of DNA's turn up?

Here is the "sales" pitch:

Yorkshire Big Breakfast Autumn 2014 - Sunday 12th October 2014
Following from the success of Easter's Big Breakfast it is once again time to announce the date of the next Yorkshire Big Breakfast, Sunday October 12th 2014.
I am sure you're all aware of the format of these events by now as we've been running them for over 6 years but essentially meet here at the showroom (postcode for satnav is YO17 6YB) from 8.30am till lunchtime, for a bacon sandwich and a look around the finest and most varied collections of cars in the North of England.
We've had brand new supercars, vintage classics, historic race cars, all sorts come. It is an informal morning, no stuffiness, and is really enjoyable whilst raising money for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance. We had in excess of 4000 people here last time, no doubt this will be even bigger! See you there.
