Ive just had my timing belt and tensioner removed the other week. I thought since the t belt cover was off i would change the dizzy cap and arm.

I just havent got round to refitting it yet. I haven't booked any cars shows yet cause im waiting to get into our new house.

I got a bit carried away with mine.

It currently looks like this, only I've stripped it some more and started cutting metal out lol.

And I haven't even touched the rear end yet lol.

I won't list what I have to do because I would be here all day.

Here's a small selection of the parts I've been buying.

The 4i needs a visit to the legend Moan of Turbosystems for a mapping session.


The 3dr needs the original wheels refitting.


No shows booked yet as I am moving from Kent to Somerset in April. Will have plenty to do in the house but I have a very nice 4 car garage with a workshop space at the back to play in.

God knows what else but safe to say progress will be slow. I bought the wheels months ago and they haven't been anywhere near the car yet. If they don't clear my brakes I'll be fucking gutted
