Hiya folks,

Thought I'd post up some pics of my new motor and say hello.

Got her a few days ago. Fitted already is a Blitz turbo back and Baileys dump valve plus a Star Performance remap, also got a couple of Prodrive optional extras.

Going to concentrate my efforts on getting all the problems I've found thus far sorted then maybe start with some tinkering.

Hope to make a couple of meets as well and pick a few brains

A tip from somebody who bought a car with a few problems that I should have been sorted day 1. Get them fixed ASAP it will only cost you more the longer you leave them.

To be more positive it looks like a lovely motor. Look after it and enjoy it

nice motor/classic , sucks that you have a few problems with it already , didnt get it from evans halshaw by any chance did you

lots of people on here with brains worth picking from what ive read aswel these folk realy do know their shizzle

[andyherd]

Thanks for the advice and comments guys. Top priority is the problems, don't have any major one's just stuff like camber adjustment and wing mirrors not working proper.

Got the car privately from a guy in Paisley

First question of probably many

I'm interested in getting some front foglight covers and have found a couple of different brands. The first of which are Italian made Orciari items, both sets look well enough made the other I've also found is by JDM parts.

Orciari

JDM parts

My question is why does one set appear to have a set of holes and the other does not? Is this a hole for a screw to aid fitment?

Thanks, going for the ones with holes then

[andyherd]

bit of a quick update, i have been busy sorting out alot of stupid niggles which i won't bore you all with but i have recently had the car in the bodyshop. reasons for that were i noticed the dreaded rear arch rust and a couple of bubbles at the top of the windscreen. these have all been sorted with both rear quarters repainted and new seals fitted in the arches. i am really happy with the results and will get some pics up when the weather clears. big thanks to marko72 for recommending GM bodyshop in Greenock
