Yeah I will manage one at some point. It's all down to timing. Sometimes I have no spare time, sometimes I have too much

[Leethesparky]

Had a bit of a mishap.

The car blew the cat out the exhaust, so now it's a decat





Sorted that out then took it for a full geometry setup. It handles so much better now




Fitted some ebc discs and pads

[Leethesparky]

Now I've taken the doors off and I'm going to do some spraying this weekend and match everything in

[1979scotte]

Always something happening thats for sure.

[Leethesparky]

Door shuts are done. Got a bit carried away and painted some other bits too

[Leethesparky]

Thread update time.

Made some more changes

Broke a mirror so I've gone back to stock mirrors for now
Changed the grilles to black and added some stickers
Made some canards out of aluminium

 

[Leethesparky]

Fitted poly gear linkages, and engine mounts

[Leethesparky]

Little update

Fitted some daytime lights.  Quite posh actually, they go half brightness when the lights are on so they can be used at night too

[Leethesparky]

Fitted a racelogic traction/launch control this weekend

And what a nice piece of kit. It completely changed the drivability of the car on damp roads. It literally handles as well in the wet now as it did normally in the dry. Awesome piece of kit.



Control replaces the ashtray



Sat in the bin happy with my laptop and emanage ultimate

[Jacobsprky]

you have certainly done a lot to it, looks awesome

[stupink]

Those DRL's really do fit in well with the whole look of the car and they are a great safety upgrade.  I must admit that this car does look excellent - the colour scheme and mods really do all work well together.  Well done.

[Leethesparky]

Cheers for the comments.

Thats an impressive improvement! How much do they cost?  Additional parts requirements?  Fitting time needed?

Are you bringing this machine to Ding Day?

[Topdownman]

+1!

Lol sorry it's just tyres, wheels are staying.

It cost me £575 eBay but they are rare. can't buy them new anymore. No additional parts as wires into existing abs sensors and sits between ecu and injectors. It's a fairly quick job to fit. But with my excessive Costa breaks it took me most of the day.

Ding day.... dunno if I do it will be a last minute decision, I struggle with planning ahead. Busy time of year at work

[MR TWO]

Hi Lee,  thanks for getting back to me so quickly.  I think I might have to put an alert/ search on my ebay account and see if I can't get one of these - it sounds like a great mod.

I hope you can make Ding Day, and since your thread now has over 21.000 views I imagine I'm not alone in this!

Keep up the the good work, you have a great car!

[Leethesparky]

Cheers... will see what I can do
