That looks awesome Dan. You'll definitely need a diff :)

Thanks Charlie, it's on the to-do list :) won't be running injectors for a while though. I've recently insured the car as rated to 250bhp so don't really want to go increasing my insurance premium yet with the addition of injectors and the fact I can't really afford them yet haha!

I think so. Hopefully (funds permitting) making an appearance on the vRoomster @ Combe B)

Very nice, I'm hoping to have my new wheels on for Combe, that's if I can ever get hold of the powder coating company!

Just had an idea to multi quote on mobile! Woo!

Did I see some Blue Spiders? ;) They were indeed mine.

Looks good Dan, does it have a billet wheel?

I'll be heading over to see Dean soon to fit new brakes. When you next there? I'll have to come and have a nose!

It sure does have a billet wheel :) let me know when you are there and I'll pop down if I'm local, not sure when I'll be picking the car up though.

Thanks very much! I cannot wait to see what the new turbo brings either to be honest. Just looking forward to the first drive :D

Managed to get a lift to Birmingham today to pick up my wheels.

Is that City Powder Coaters Dan?

Sure is mate. Service is pretty **** but finish is decent.

They look good mate! They'll be easier to keep clean than mine are - they get visibly dusty within a day of cleaning them

Will look awesome when they're on. I'd love a set but they all seem to be on the wrong size tyres or are really expensive. Got outbid on a set of Oz superturismo 16's last night As I was driving when it ended :(

You know I'll be selling mine very soon Kyle...? ;-)

Cheers lads, the wheels have had a coat of carbon collective platinum wheels so I'm hoping that will help them stay clean.

Kyle my Team Dynamics will be available next week :)

You 2 shouldn't be telling me stuff like this!! I'm ordering my clutch and flywheel later tonight and I'm saving for Florida in June so you shouldn't be tempting me!! Dan are you selling with the tyres on? After just rims really if they're 16s as my tyres are ok. Will have to see what I can get away with when they're up for sale without the wife knowing lol

Dan, I'll reply to your PM tomorrow when I haven't got a raging hangover...  but are you still up for a machine polishing session?

 

I'm in work Mon, Tues, Weds next week, then I'm off until the 28th. So I'm up for it if you still fancy it? If time's short then we'll just do yours.

Sounds good to me Alex :)

Work pretty busy for me next week, however I'm off on the sundays but promised to spend it with Beth, I'm sure we can sort something out for the week after though :)

It's slipping on full boost but it's done 130k and it's on the original so can't complain. Gunna go for the sachs dmf, clutch and slave and then hopefully that should last well over 100k. Ooh this does intrigue me although should I put new wheels before my kids happiness at Disney land lol, I'm sure they'll understand :)

You should just bring her along and get her to help ha ha!

 

What do you want to use? I have a load of Autoglym SRP, but I'm running low on my Menzerna. SRP is a good filling polish, so will help to hide any defects.

Haha that would go down like a right lead balloon!

I've got a load of SRP aswell mate, what do you recommend for the swirls I don't mind buying a polish for us to use. What pads have you got? Are they cutting pads or finishing pads?

That should last fine then mate :) haha they will be in the for sale section anyway if your interested :)

 

 

I've just ordered my clutch and that (£350 later  :'(  :'( ) and some service bits for it ready to fit on easter monday but I'll have a nose at them and might treat myself if I can get away with it although I should really buy some lowering springs or AP coilovers if I'm splashing the cash  :think: I could do with someone donating me a grand to spend on the car really, so much I want to do to it now I've decided to keep it and sort the ride out  :love:

That's a bit lighter than what my helix cost me, was heartbreaking to spend £900 on one :(

If you fancy donating me a grand then it will go towards injectors ;)

Ah you have a Helix clutch..... need you to take me out as that what I was considering. :P
