I know, loving it.

It's running rota grid drifts (9.5) with 5mm spacers up front 10mm at the rear on stretched tyres. Rear is nicely cambered.

In love. :grin:

Post by: Ninja on 21 April 2013, 01:35: So... Got some plans in mind. Toying with the stage 2 remap, thinking of going for the relentless manifold too.

First on the list though is driveshaft gaitors and getting the rear parking sensors fixed. Oh and a new heater matrix :grin:

Post by: Ninja on 10 May 2013, 17:39: Update:

£620 lighter. Engine mount bolt snapped, causing engine mount to let go. It was the cambelt side engine mount, so thought what the heck - I'll get the mount, cambelt and waterpump all done at once.

Fun times. My engine dropped quite literally 1/4 an inch off the floor. Nice.

She's back up and running now though :grin:
