Thankyou for your comments More pics to follow once i've uploaded them.

Disc and Pad change as they were a little worn. lol

Also gave the calipers a lick of Hammerite Smooth Green and refitted the wheels

Pics of the Whiteline Rear ARB, Powerflex front Wishbone & front ARB bushes and a nice surprise in the engine bay one morning when noticed a smell through the vents :eek:

Interior taken apart to Install ICE

I've still got to make the false floor in the boot and install the components.

Pics of the Helix SMF & Clutch, along with Magnetic sump bolt And the lights after I fitted the silver indicator bulbs

This is the car as I brought it 1 year ago. It had already been lowered on Eibachs and had 16" Octavia Spider Alloys and LCR Splitter

And the final set of pics for now...

These were taken a week after I brought the car.

Basically a 3000 mile roadtrip around Europe called the "MODBALL Rally"

Then 2 weeks later the car went to the Nurburgring (she's been a busy old girl )

Hope you enjoy the pics. More to come as and when I can afford the mods. Cheers for looking

Hi Richard,

Very dissapointing mate. I was expecting it to be like a Petrol Turbo induction noise... and it is as the turbo comes into boost. But then it just doesn't get any louder I brought it because I wanted some noise (haven't got an exhaust yet) and it doesn't deliver as much as I wanted.

On the plus side it revs so freely at the top end! (Compared to my Old PD160 setup) In this respect it feels much more like a petrol, it actually wants to be revved and overall it feels nicer to drive quickly.

So a bit of a mixed review really.
