A small update just to show this project is still alive and kicking though pretty slowly
Hopefully plenty more updates in the next few weeks, just a few little things holding us back at the moment.
Yeah, like morgage deposits!Originally Posted by Fangers
Well it looks like the Tigra will be moving to a new home shortly so today we got it back on its wheels and gave the garage a good tidy up.
The 288 brakes are a tight fit behind the original 15's
Plenty work still to be done here
Bodywork needs a lot of attention but its not a priority at the moment
Hi guys, wanted front V6 manifold. Had bought one from a guy on here who has not delivered the goods after having my money for over two month! Don't trust everyone guys, not everyone is honest... honest. This type of **** really pisses me off!
More progress to come, have just got the car moved to my new place with pride of place in front of the house and driving the wife mad! ha ha
Once I've got the front manifold i can cut the down pipe up get that aliened and stick the engine in. Not much longer and we can hear her running... i hope!
the engine bay looks well clean, love the project so far.
Just discovered this site. Just read the 4 pages of this project and then...............
.........any new updates??.
would be good to see how this has come on
3+
I canny invest in ya and for that reason , I'm oot .
Sorry guy's but Jimmy has given up on this project and the car will be scrapped, all conversion parts and anything off the car are for sale if anyone is interested.
Why's he given up?. After all the hardwork. Was there much left to do?
He wants a BMW Z3 and dont ask why i've told him there Sh1te.
Was still plenty work to do though the strengthening plates did eventually get welded on and no doubt still loads of money would have to be thrown at it to complete it. Did i also mention that he just cant arsed to work on it.
What a real BIG shame. I would love to have the balls to try such a project.... maybe if I win the lottery.
Mmmmm those front brakes...... Would they bolt straight onto my Tigra?.
The brakes are V6 288mm and fitted straight on though they are a seriously tight fit and i think if your wheels had the sticky balance weights on the inside they would probably catch.
Oooh. Read earlier about the V6's giving the feeling of spongy pedal. Mmmm got enough of that as it is!.
Yeah they often make the pedal feel crap, your better going for the 284mm off a Turbo or the 256mm off a 16v.
Will keep scouring ebay!. Need to sort them out one way or another!.
Cheers Scotty
should of bought a scooby! would of been much more fun and cheaper! well at least he would of been able to drive it!!! people with more money than sense make me laugh! sorry for your loss!

Yeah, project is a gona. all parts now for sale. Fangers didn't tell the whole story... new house, new job, new business ect ect.
All the usual bull sh1t excuses that are made when people scrap these type of projects. But I would like to take the chance to thank Fangers for all his hard work and helping me with the project and to be honest doing the vast majority of the work.
I'm being totally honest when i say I'm gutted to have to stop the project, but what can you do. Thanks to anyone that followed us.
goo job mate!
