When I got back, I had a few bits laid around in the garage, so popped up to williams’ house and got them fitted, catcam 708s, also had cambelt and head gasket done at same time. As the engine was in bits, I thought it would make sense to get all that done. Also had btb exhaust to fit ( I sold the other one before I went away as I got an offer for it which I couldn’t refuse, plus was always going to buy another one when I got back, which is the best exhaust for the s without doubt! I also wired up a second fan which has a switch in car so that i can whack that on when ive been on track or on last lap to help cool engine down
So I got back from my travels, plenty of money, but after a while I got a bit bored of the stripped look, felt that as it didn’t get on track too much it looked stupid, so in went a side airbagged gti leather interior, I also cleaned up the bay again.
Next up was a bit of whoring, just under car and arches, few nice little pics for you.
Unfortunately I don’t have anything stating the bhp of the car, but I had the car mapped at a place called automark in stokesly, car came back with around 146bhp
Heres the bad boy gearbox, big thanks to ryan, alexr and of course mankee for this. I had two mates come up from hull to fit it for me, I learnt a bit and was very grateful for it, drove down to Portsmouth that night in it, was loving the car with the box and
cams
at the same time the ge quickshift and x sport linkages were fitted.
Now me still being a style whore, the wheels just weren’t up to scratch, so I re sprayed the wheels silver, just for a cleaner look
Again more whore stuff, decided to take front end off and clean up the engine bay.
Again even more whoring, this time a trip up to James’ house for a go with his rotary and give it a right good clean, results were spot on, and if anyone in the Yorkshire area wants it doing, his rates are pretty good and results are even better
Next up after that was some asw pics with the man they call ad sayer, again if anyone wants car pics, this is the guy you need to speak to, again charges are good and pics even better
Decided again to get the debit card out and splash a bit more cash, lewismo/darkvts2003 sold me some group n engine mounts, some r888s were also ordered. 24mm arb and some cobra Monaco s bucket seats and 3 point omp harnesses. Fitted them all and was very happy, this time went with fixed bucket seats and wasn’t too arsed about comfort as long as they held me in on track I wasn’t arsed! But again the style whore came out in me again, sprayed up the subframes and ordered some new bolts from alexr. Also decided to strip the car again, at moment its still got the carpet and roof lining in, unsure if they will stay or go.
now some of you who have been to the ring and stayed at the apartments may recognise the gnome, he used to sit outside the lodge
also bought myself a helmet, borrowed one a few times but cant beat your own
the seats from ryan (sprayed the subframes and few other bits plus new bolts, so it all looked nice and shiney and clean
Also made myself a catch tank bracket, had the tank for ages but never got around to fit it.
