they looking good luke. u braved the putting thme in the oven then. you still got refurbing alloys on the list?

[lukeyyyyyyy21]

cheers man and tbh i'm a poor man so probably not refurb just get them re-sprayed gloss black. lol

how's your alloys coming along?

If I could find a spare set I'd probs brave sanding and primering my self like you.

[marcusd]

mine are ready to go on just waiting for the van to free up so i can get em down tyre place.

Fitted a Momo strut brace today. does help it glue a bit better in the turns.

Going to try a Pipercross Viper induction kit as well.

[lukeyyyyyyy21]

Photo down in Brighton last night of Pipercross Viper Enclosed induction kit fitted. Had some fun going up the levels in the multi story cinema car park in the marina as all the flash jap cars probably wondered what the fuck it was then a little saxo comes past lol. Always fun.

Baffles in the Janspeed back box are now fucked plus it's always leaking. Wanted a centre section anyways so why not save up for a 'cat-back'? that's my next mod. Feeling Piper if I can't get hold of a Miltek. Going to try DemonTweeks.

looking rele good lukeyyy loving that induction kit and the tinted lights nice work mate keep it going buddy see you at the next meet.

[boarer2004]

induction kit is fitted wrong ........

[boarer2004]

cold air feed comes after filter not before and what are you using to support it

[lukeyyyyyyy21]

that's an old picture. have a breather filter now.

i wouldn't say it's on the conventional way no but it's working fine. it's jubliee clipped on and i've noticed it's the universal kit, not bad for £30 second hand considering the retail brand new is around £170. She sounds soooo much better now.

Swopped the tyres around today at college as fronts wearing too much, they grip far too well! Also had to fit a new battery. So the last month I have had to change the spark plugs, coil pack and now battery. My gear box didn't sound to good either last night. Think I'm on borrowed time with it. french.

I have a driving job doing around 2000k miles every 5 weeks or something crazy. having problems with the gearbox so changed the oil to see the masses of shrapnel on the plug lool. Did the engine oil as well as the filter castrol magnatec 10w/40 part synthetic as it was time as well. A nice winter service done in the past few weeks at college loool.

here's some snow photos from last night down in Brighton at the meet.











Have some smoked jewels on the way and new sax-p stickers wooo photos when they have arrived. After that it's going to be a supersprint I think after i've paid the fricken road tax.
