Ok, so a little update....

 

That's the car booked in for the end of November when I'm taking it off the road to have a little bit of work done, it's time I emptied the conservatory full of bits piling up before the wife starts binning stuff:

 

Bodywork

 

Respray of front right hand wing discolouring

Repair and respray of rust on rear window at seal

Respray of rear bumper (small scratch)

Respray or rear wing (small scratch)

 

Performance Upgrades

 

Racelogic Traction Control Unit

Turbosmart E Boost 2 boost controller

HKS fuel cut defender

Bosch fuel pump

Whifbitz 1st and 2nd 3" decats

Whifbitz alloy radiator and hard pipe kit

 

Service Items

 

New engine oil

New oil filter

New cold grade spark plugs

New fuel filter

New gearbox oil

New Whifbitz turbo inlet pipes

 

Still To Purchase

 

UK spec calipers and discs

Chris Wilson Fast Road Pads

Front Mount Intercooler

 

Needless to say i think I will be quite excited to pick the car up once everything is done.

I believe the boost controller is getting set up on a dyno as well so fingers crossed for a readout of the figures produced :D

 

 

 

Next on the agenda... Hybrids, Single, Syvecs....?

Cheers, so am I! :)

 

Suppose I best update as I just bought the Whifbitz FMIC kit with alloy header tank and power steering cooler as it's on offer for Xmas. :D

 

She'll be like a new beast when she's done hopefully!

I'm sure the whifbitz Fmic pipe work doesn't allow you to keep the stock airbox mate.

 

What air intake you changing to!?

 

I've still got my HKS Mushroom on (the updated version) and I'll probably be changing for something else in the near future anyways.

So I've potentially got an OEM airbox and brand new K&N panel filter for sale (new in box)...

 

I will have some tasty bits on offer soon ;) including hybrids :innocent:

 

Oh! Sounds interesting. Can I have first refusal please! :D

So, that's the car nearly back on the road. Full BPU complete, full engine and gearbox service done, FMIC fitted and now it's off to the spray shop for some panels and areas to be touched up.

 

Just the boost controller, Racelogic TC and Eibach springs to finish once it's back and then it will be ready for Dragonball! (After being decalled up and having a good clean inside and out!)

 

In the mean time, I decided she needed some new alloys as I'm not a fan of how the current one sit so I bought some XXR 527's in chrome black :)

4 cars within 30 miles with the same feking wheels!!

Yeah we did have a bit of a laugh at GI talking about how many people are running these around here now lol

It was too good a deal to pass up if I'm honest, only got the fronts just now, need to pick up some rears in the next few weeks.

 

What offset you running Tony?

Glad you're getting here back buddy, might see you at the next event.
