OK so, firstly, i cannot believe it has been almost a year since i last looked in here, time move scarily fast sometimes.
i have been fairly busy with the mods in this time;
The car is now lowered 40mm all round on spax springs and dampers thank god, no pictures of this as mark1311 did it for me and i had to dissapear off whilst it was getting done, at the same time all my front suspension components were changed so that's something off the list.
just annoyed with myself that i left it almost 18 months of ownership without doing this first, the whole cars handling is just brilliant, feels extremely planted and looks 10x's better.
also fitted an e-tech strut brace on the front, really really impressed, tightens it up a lot more than i was expecting !
no pictures of the bay, as it's not very nice if i am to be honest, something i definitely need to focus more on !!
That was how it sat after the lowering, spot on i would say
i had my vts alloys blasted and coated white, and then wrapped in fresh uniroyal rainsport 2's all round.
and i guess the biggest purchase of all is this...
alloys and engine have all come in the same month, so in two weeks have spent over £500 on the car, so sadly i wont be going 16v this year.
i want to take my time, clean it all up maybe spray it to get it looking really fresh and get everything fitted whilst it isn't in the car like belts pumps etc.
here is how it looks now
