Wow i can't believe its been 2yrs since my last update. In all honesty not much has been happening. The xsi is still up on ramps in the garage awaiting me to finish the brake lines. Having said that i have been gathering parts of late to crack on with the car when i have a bit of free time.
Firstly the Sparco strut brace i sent away to The Wheel Specialist Wolverhampton to get stripped back and powdercoated
Before
After
I have been looking for a vts/gti sump for a while as i currently have a non vts/gti sump which means no oil temp sensor fitted. I gave the sump a quick rub down and paint
DavidsVTR sold me a carbon fibre 106 radio blank. It only had one hole drilled for the gauge so got a second one drilled
I bought a quickshift
Then a bought a few bits off dan-sport. He bought a vts to break which originally belonged to gojka so i purchased the 266mm front brake setup, braided lines, Powerflex arb bushes, Vibratechnics gearbox mount, Bilstein group N rear shock absorbers and another Quickshift
I purchased myself a full polycarb window kit originally supplied by Templar Performance. The rear window has an original tinted border like standard. The front windows both have sliders and rear windows thermoformed.
And to house my polycarbs i got myself rear non opening window seals and windows
I got myself a pair of GMC ultimate road cams which i have been led to believe are of similar spec to the likes of 708s and ph3's
And last but not least i have finally tracked down a set of Rallye front bumper vents in black. I am currently waiting on these so here is the pic from the seller
Im sure i will have forgotten some things. All i need to do now is get them fitted !!!
