    Best bit is he said this: "the car has had 10s of thousands spent on it, " Then this: "unfortunately the car does not come with any history as the garage the previous owner bought it off went bust and refused to release any paperwork."
  2. Haha I bet! Hopefully get to have another look around yours soon! and maybe even a passenger ride out in it?
  3. Looks good buddy! Glad to hear you're back driving it again!
  4. Saw a couple of pics pop up on facebook and its looking awesome!
  5. Thanks Probably a bit of both, photo makes them look worse then they are.
  6. Thanks! Fog light is on my list of things to sort! Thanks guys
  7. I am a maybe. Not sure if I will make it and if I do it will only be for a short while but I shall try get along to it!
  8. Oh. my. god. those wheels are going to look amazing! I am so very jealous! Also just a thought what about getting the bolts done in bronze same as the car? Would be subtle but look really nice and tie it all together I think?
  9. Thanks! Haha sunny Aberdeenshire! Its been like this for the last few days!
  10. Hmm yeah, I think I might get one and I can just swap them when I got bored of the look to keep it fresh! Thanks!
  11. Thanks buddy! I agree it makes a big difference! And I am not anymore! holding on to it for the time being!
  12. Went out for a quick drive today as the weather was stunning and I got some pics! Only with my phone but I think they came out quite nicely!
  13. Thanks! Yeah it definitely lacks boost and has all the supporting stuff to cope (big brakes etc.) so might be the best option but for now I shall just sit tight and wait and see what comes up.
  14. Yeah I did notice looking through the service history that it had the same issue...I have no idea why! I got the test data back and it is WAY WAY under the non-cat test limit as you would expect so really not sure what the issue was. The garage I took it to were incredibly stubborn about it and even when I showed them the flow chart from the MOT hand book they wouldn't re-test it properly. Anyway like I said the second garage had no issues at all so who knows. It was very annoying though! Thanks I am just trying to decide where to go next with the car. I was very very close to GTE swapping it over the winter but other issues meant the money went elsewhere but now I am just starting to consider it again. Weighing up whether to go for it with this car or just sell and buy a Twin Turbo auto. Probably a Twin Turbo auto would make the most sense but to find a nice stock body one is getting harder and more expensive it seems so I am just not sure at the moment.
  15. Very small update and a few pictures. Car has now got 12 months MOT after a little hassel with one garage doing the incorrect emissions test and then refusing to admit they were wrong... tried to convince me that they would need to cut up my exhaust and weld a new Cat into it....anyway ended up taking the car to a different garage at which it went through its MOT first time with no issue. Very annoying but problem solved. Anyway pictures:
  16. Looks awesome Rich! Nice wheels. - - - Updated - - -
  17. Can you re-send the pm bud. I didn't realise my membership ran out so didn't get the PM
  18. I am not 100% sure as I didn't fit it but from the service history it says it has a HKS resonator section honed 1st cat and then unkown 2nd decat and back box. Oh and it does drone a bit at motorway speeds yep, not to bad around town though. However it is very loud when on it.
