Nice to see you didn't sell up mate. I'm liking the little changes as well. What are your plans for it now?

Cheers mate, didn't want to sell it really, was just struggling to run and unsure it so seemed I had to, then luckily a job came up so perfect

.
Need to get the brakes and dash fitted, then going too look for some new wheels as tyres getting low on these and going to be cheaper to buy new wheels with tyres and sell the s wheels than itd cost for just tyres, then some buckets in and hopefully few track days over the summer

Ahh yea I remember, that fez looked pretty awesome, yea used to have the black 1 but it done my head in keep going wrong lol. And torsion bars need to be removed then lowered then bars back in, bit of a faff, few guys on here can do it. There's a few guides on here too

Domster · 25th February 2012, 20:18

I had mine done by willsy off here and he done a great job, and I know beaniemoo also does it (he's located in Bedford) heard good stuff about both their work. Just save up for bits and pieces here and there.

Yea was really lucky tbh, and probs end up with pro race 1.2s, would love a set of speedline turnis or pro rave 3s, but too many pennies that I can't afford atm

Interior is a lot messier than it looks, still a bit of tidying up too do, hopefully sort it when get the dash in.
And the boss doesn't sit that close tbf, is quite a gap. I'll try get a better pic for you when get the chance
