Not much now just want to tidy all the little things up get the engine bay looking spot on and then im thinking of selling it in february but thats undecided at the mo. I could spend a fortune on it but each time i think about it i just think the money could go into something else although i love it  :laugh:

Question for you madmanmart only out of curiosity really those wheels your running the tt ones are they 17" only asking because i thought it would be better to be running 15-16" rims as they perform better ive read even some lightweight wheels like pro race 1.2's or something would save weight over all wouldn't it ? don't get me wrong here not tying to say its a bad choice as ive never been on a track just curious  :laugh:

Your totally right, in a ideal world I'd be running 16s bit those TT wheels were on a mk3 that I broke for spares.

Also I when down my local tyre place to have a look in the tyre bin and they had a set of part worn 17" toyos he said I could have for free so its just the way it worked out.
