decided against the RA style roof flap, Thats been sold on now (people were begging for it ! ) 

 

BUT 

 

decided to change my crappy rear bumper so got a new one coming, just need to change the hockey sticks over as mine are colour coded, Then i got a bad knock on the rear arch (no rot thankfully!) but to pull it out is a big job 

 

Was looking on the facebook pages a set of the WR1 style arches popped up for 60 quid, PM'd him got them at a bargain as he had them wrapped up ready to go and was let down 

 

WOndering wether to go body colour or carbon fibre, Im looking for some canards aswell for the front bumper

I remember once I forgot about an MOT on my car I had one that ran out in October so did that thought it was April the other one but that was one of the other cars. Wasn't until I cam to tax the car in January I had realised it had expired also in October and I had been driving it around with out a care in the world :D  And that's why I have all 3 things n January to do now :(

i did decide yes, till i popped into them today, It cant be done or it cant be done for less than 600 quid!!

SO now im looking at painting them to match the body and then hydro dipping them with a ghost carbon print so its not in your face!!

once they are bonded on no going back!

Got some sti lights, try make it look a bit newer and bit better than the tint sprayed rears, and for 60 quid i couldnt pass them up!

still on the hunt for a apexi and not going too well! people wanting 600 quid!!

my alternative is ECUTEK which ive done before, and maybe said in this thread somewhere thats the route im going but its again 600 quid i don't want to spend!

Well not updated this in a while:

 

Engine:

my Vf28 blew its !Removed! out, oil everywhere! that was end of november and it hasnt moved since. So been wondering what to do! cant find another sensible priced turbo so im bolting the td04 back on with **** loads of boost so its going to be pretty much 0 lag! 

 

should be about 285-290 im hoping for with the supporting mods i got already and managed by a Apexi power FC and commander i got off eBay just before xmas. There is still a debate wether i will run 10% meth too

Body:

My other plastidip thread i been looking into painting the car yellow but im spending my money elsewhere. So ive got a sprayer im ordering some matte black plasti dip, blue pearl flakes and glossifer so it will have a gloss black roof , spoiler and bonnet with a touch of blue 

 

All the other black trim will be dipped matt black too i think 

 

the yellow tow straps and stickers are coming off as the wheels will be done in Hyper Orange ! 

 

Interior:

Not alot really, just searching for a harness bar and a bottom floor brace which will probably end up getting made 

 

 

Better get it back on the road!

Yeah I'm not paying 400 for a vf28 atm when I think my engine will go bang so rather drop power for now

Paid 350 delivered ! Was the only bidder on eBay , was going to risk trying get it cheaper but they don't pop up often
