first thing i did was but small front number plate on,




then i put standard lights back in, along with rs500 grills

(only pic i have of it like that) at York dragstrip





then she got lowered, cobra springs, koni adjustables



this is 20 mins after they were fitted


and after they settled, sits like this, IMO perfect



then, time for bufty

from this

to this


then, time for more power
stage 3 and intercooler fitted



and this is how she looks now
on the way back from being on trak on trax


few things are changing, soon...

will keep you all posted and thanks for reading

Phil

had to remove it to fit the i/c as its the biggest on the market,

so thought the compressor and pipes were just in the way so i took them out, lot easier to work on with them removed

There is a girl on one of the Northern Irish sites called Gemma, who claims to own your car!!! She has pics of it up, the ones you had on another thread. She has described what she (well really you!) has done to the car. Even her user name is M400 BHP!!!

You have a stalker mate

Oh and heres a link - (you may have to register)
