Looking very nice mate! get rid of that arch gap ;)

Cheers mate. Ye I know I'd love it to be low but right now I have 195/50s on the rear so can't go any low and also a nasty speedbump at college to contend with and although I have a spare alloy sump.. I'd rather not have to change it again!

Did a few things today.. Had a leak from the windscreen reservoir so took it out to investigate.

Turned out to be one of the pipes going to the pump, so abit of ptfe tape as a temporary fix until I source a new one. Had abit of a clean before refitting:

Also cleaned the throttle body in the hope that it would fix the erratic idling I've been experiencing:

Took it for a quick spin and seems to be running better, but will know for sure in the coming days.

Whilst I was doing that thought I'd clean out the coolant reservoir. So used some sand + brake cleaner to get all the grime on the inside out. Finished off with some fresh g12 coolant.

Planning to install this oil catch tank at the weekend. Just gotta find a decent spot.

Cut a hole in my bumper so the intake is the front grille now. Bit messy, but works well.

Got exams at the minute so abit short on updates! But planning a roof wrap soon and also have some proper aluminium piping on order for the induction kit which should look smart.

Ye I found it equally difficult and gave up! Will probably order a smaller aluminium one at some point.

Went to South Meets in Brighton today. My camera was playing up so I've had to change the contrast to make them abit clearer. Fitted my new smoothed rear bumper today, front will be done when I can afford it! Also have plans to get the cups polished, further tidying of the bay and new tyres all round which will allow me to go lower.

Nice job, car looks fresh man! how much did you pay for your ATS cups? and how much did you lower her?

Car looks well man. :) Where did you get the stubby aerial? Was it easy to fit?
