Been a good while since I've updated this thread!

Really just been enjoying driving this as a daily, majority of the work of recent has just been general maintenance whilst I focused on the black G40... but due to buying two set of new brakes for the black G, little bluey received the benefit of a nice set of Vauxhall ATE 256mm Calipers with new GM discs and pads along with a set of braided hoses to match... bit of fresh fluid and a bleed up... and WOW... seriously impressed with the imporvement for the money! Here's a quick pic...

It now stops as well as it goes!!!

Other recent works include; switch to 14" RA's, raised the coilovers, replaced the clutch and gave it a good old G3 & Autoglym session...

Cheers,

bluey's still sounds as sexual as ever :unibrow: and the brakes sound a right laugh, Mclockington in the wet?

Would be interested in selling the 14" RA's come G smile time? :ninja:

Been out in this.

Two things,

1. It accelerates that fast i couldn't even focus on the road we were driving on

2. I crapped myself ha.

Absolutely nuts.

G SMILES??
