very nice Cathy always good to see a ltd edition brought back to near standard, hope to have a classic project on the go at some point

very nice m8

picked up another set of wheels 18" and this is how i got them and this is how they look after some paint striper

if you get a new one, i would recommend forge, i have had a lot of makes over the years and always gone back to forge, last spend was £250 on a turbosmart within a month it was sold and another forge one bought

yep i killed a clutch on my 4th run

welcome to the fold m8, bo you have a after market dump valve ?? could be that you need a new spring as the boost pressure is pushing it open

thanks m8 its getting there

time i need to go back to work slush fund is dead yep just waiting on antifreeze baz no point in changing it and no doing hoses

another package, getting there, nice set of hoses

ace if its whiteline gear

got the HEL brake lines from scoobyworx

and some OT lol

new nuts to fit another set of wheels im picking up next weekend

i have the slotted ones from aztec also got the kevlar pads as they were free at the time had them on for one run and changed them out, very good for every day and a wee blast but not a good run, i changed them to mintex with good results also i changed to DOT 5.1 fluid when changing discs, if you are changing your fluid use 5.1 as DOT5 dosnt mix with DOT3 or 4 as its synthetic, spenno it would have been 5.1 in yours this is the discs i have from them, had them on about 2 years and not had any probs at all (apart from a sticking piston) i painted the centres black

hahaha thats my helper

i did mine when the wife had some m8's round, i went into my man cave back box that i have in the garage, cleaned with bilberry wheel cleaner 1st, then onto tardis tar remover, followed by metal cleaner more tardis and the rotary polisher this was it to start with just onto the 2nd go with metal cleaner and more tardis and how it looked once i had finished with the rotary polisher and some old pads by the time i was done the last of the mrs m8's were just away good few Hrs spent in man cave

fitted the 290lph fuel pump today it has been in the garage for about 6 months i thought i should fit it also a set of WR1 sideskirts i'v just put away till paint time

well after putting the car back together i got out for a blast today (on the track), the porting worked well spooling up a bit quicker and pulling better BUT working TOO well as the engine management light came on flat out in 5th gear, oh fek back down to trundling speed car felt ok, so got home and plugged in the lap top and yes we have fuel cut due to over boosting

finished painting the header tank last night so put it back together today since its nice and sunny for a change

thanks Baz

ok guys this is where i am just now sorry for the pic mash-up i had to take the cold air feed of as Andy F checked the ECU and the car didnt like it on full chat, so i will refit once i go for a remap i wont leave it so long next time for an update

got the headers back on this morning after picking up new gaskets the postman dropped a set of header tank mounts to stop the heat soak into the manifold, so made a start and thought fek it i will clean up the rust spots on the header tank header tank still in the garage getting painted away to head out the now to give it another coat more pics to follow

Pro-R filter feels a lot better than the green, got the Whiteline ARB's fitted today along with new solid drop links, car feels like a go cart now wish i had done then to start with got the headers off today time for some porting (pics in a few days of the porting) some light porting today, i took a lot of casting off from the inside which will give better faster exhaust gas flow, smoothed and widened out the openings to the cast manifolds put some wrap on the centre link pipe stuck the manifolds back on

another wee add on i picked up from Andy at RA, just a new turbo to get then fit a new clutch before fitting them and a re-map just a wee bit more shopping today a nice VF35 to go with the pinks, turbo now re-sold changed my mind got the eibach camber bolts today thought i better try the Pro-R filter (pipercross) 3 layer of foam just what you want to help your MAF and some new gaskets for when i remove the headers for porting and heat wrapping did a wee bit today, fitted a stainless radiator cooling plate, with the cold air feed from behind the fog lamp it has now been removed and i made, painted and fitted a grille, thought i better fit the Pro-R air filter since its a 5 min job, thats the voltage stabiliser and grounding kit fitted Radiator plate fitted cold air feed grille Pro-R filter voltage stabiliser and grounding kit fitted (stabiliser at side of battery)
