been a fairly busy morning, fitted the rocker cover back on, and the new cambelt cover, trial fitted the strut brace, just need to go out and get the right sized drill bit for it, got the air filter pipework sorted and the battery terminals turned up :D, so my relocation can get sorted, getting a custom box made up as the battery is HOOOOGE. and got a couple of stickers

Looking good, it would be rude not to spray the strut brace purple though!

nah i think it would be too much purple then, might do it white, or silver yet, dunno

or at least black!

Satin black strut braces rock....

also cleaned her up and took a few stickers off, and the wanky rear number plate, it's not worth 3 points for plates, so on the standard ones go

McTangus - the spider is called sam

is that a standard exhaust on your car ??

my HIDs are 6000k but cause my yellow tints they look white :) but i dont like them on full beam they are rubbish !!!

Re-Profiled Cams (to fast road spec)

i really like this , plans sound good.

Is there anyway you could shorten the mirror stalks cause i think they stick out a little too far.

Coming along nicelt not 100% on those mirrors though

re positioned the mirrors now, they look better, all will become clear once they're wired in 8-)

yeh lol this is true, or i would have spent ages trying to fit the wrong frames :lol:

right its been fun and games this morning, had to push the car off my drive so that the AA would come and pick it up, my driveway is uphill and got the biggest bump on it. BUT i persevered and after the 3rd hernia of my life and nearly slipping another disc i got it on the road and perfectly parked. Heres how she sits (splitter came off whilst coming off the dropped kerb :D )
