Hello and good day from South Scotland, I'm a old fart that's been around the car clubs on and off for a long long time and I'm a semi retired Detailer so i could look after my disabled wife. I'm dipping my toes back into the club scene again to see what the crack is and pick up some tit bits of info on my 17yr old girl.

 

Her current state is :-

whiteline adjustable RARB

R32 ARB 

ARB main bush poly

steering column poly bush

All bushes replaced with OE items ( I'm old like my fillings in my mouth )

S3 subframe brace.

TT Strut brace.

TT faster steering rack

KYB shocks with new OE springs ( im old so like a OE feel)

225 45 17 Goodyear eagle F1 tyres.

Full stainless turbo back exhaust with extra packing in centre and back box, ( again old don't like drone and lift off crackle ).

 

Future work :-

she needs her timing belt kit done as its on 70k

while she's getting that done renewing 3 engine mounts with OE, I know the dogbone upgrade stops axle hop, but not wanting undue vibrations spoiling the OE feel the old girl has.

getting the SIA programed out plus the second O2 sensor as she's not got a cat, plus a run on a dyno to see how crude the map she has, as it's got a stage 1 tune but don't know how good it is, feels good though.

Then the elephant in the room, bodywork, the rust fairy is being a bitch and sprinkling her red dust on her, plus the old girl is a ex cop car so has 3 different silver paints on her.

 

thanks Mike.
