Looking good karl glad you have got it on the road as its been a long time and i am sure you have done a great job just wait until you have run it in and the boost is back up to 26psi then you will enjoy it even more

looking forward to seeing it have you finished under the bonnet

MONSTER · 24-12-2007, 05:21 PM

Good stuff mate, its much easier when its at home aint it? If you get pissed off you can just leave it and come back when you're ready.

Speaking off being pissed off, i've not touched or even looked at mine since the blackpool trip & i've been half tempted to put it back to standard but after reading a few posts on here about what other folk are doing with theirs i've got a sudden enthusiasm again. PF's great innit

Stoo · 24-12-2007, 06:19 PM

Looking good mate although how weird is it to see a picture of your car dirty

I thought that just didn't happen

maxest · 24-12-2007, 06:39 PM

Looks awesome kid,,, see what your saying about the wheels,, need to be a brighter silver! See if you can get a deal at the coaters if i send the hocks in too

Although there'll be another set of wheel coming for it too...

And sort you tax disc holder and sticker out

I've nearly run it in but need it properly set up after that!!

thought the same about the wheels, tad brighter in my opinion

Stoo · 25-12-2007, 07:37 PM

Set just about halfway, mate. Chris spec'd the spring rates but I'm not sure what they are.

It's quite firm, but I've been in worse lol I couldn't live with it for everyday use though..

Nice!

I read that quote and was thinking holy shit how much of a bender do I sound, then noticed some subtle editing had went on

POLARIS ESCOS · 26-12-2007, 05:38 PM

just been looking through my photobucket Karl and i do think it looks alot better with the grills in

i have just order some for my imperial one and am even considering putting standard headlights back in also

bigpower · 26-12-2007, 06:24 PM

Looks mint then!

but trust me she's a million times better now

POLARIS ESCOS · 26-12-2007, 06:29 PM

karl i am sure you have done a top job as with all you other cars

it may look mint on the pics put it had a couple of chips here and there so the best way of getting rid instead of just paiting odd panels was to give it all a nice coat of gloss black
