Well in November the car went to my mate Zak at PE to have a few bits done.

Fit GGR tubular manifold
Fit new drop links
Fit new Roose heater matrix hoses
Fit new Auto Specialists header tank
Set up the Greddy boost controller

And leave the RR set up to Ian

Got a call from Zak to say that the GGR manifold had a crack in one of the primaries into the collector and was blowing like mad. I tried to contact the fella on the RSOC that I bought it from by PM and email but he hasn't bothered to get back to me As luck would have it, a mate of a mate was selling an SCC/Milltek jobbie so bought this and Zak fitted it up for me. GGR one is now getting repaired to sell again.

Was VERY impressed with the PE boys' work as usual as the car came out with 264bhp @ 22psi and 351 lb ft torque












Was an awesome difference and got my brain ticking on the next few bits to get done so got the car over to my mrs' place on the drive to start taking bits off. Got a few cheeky pics on the way there















As you may have seen in Paul's (Sticky) thread, I exchanged my standard shocks with H&R springs for his GAZ coilies. Paul sent them straight to GAZ so I could have them refurbed before they were fitted to my car. Was very pleased with the outcome and quick turn around, the guys were really helpfull too.




Also decided the bay could do with a spruce up so after a recommendation from a good mate of mine, I had a few bits sent off for powder coating. Completely changed the look of the bay




Bought myself a grp A filter, power steering fluid bottle and centre panel with built in Scangauge II and mounted my Stack oil pressure gauge in there too. Need to get the pipe work made up for the filter to be relocated to behind the n/s headlight if anyone knows anyone to do it?






Paul kindly made me up some Raceline stickers for the wheels




A week or so ago I finally found a bit of time to fit some of the bits up. Excuse the state of the wheels and the height at the front (it started pissing down with rain when I started to adjust them ) Also got a few of the powder coated bits fitted up and it has made a massive difference to the bay! Think the wheels are going to have to go the same colour as the boost pipes now with white stickers.
















As i'm planning on doing a lot of track days next year I thought it'd be wise to replace the unsupportive front seats with something that'll keep me pinned in place










And fitted








Hoping to have the passenger one in by the end of the month as well. And that's about it so far. Will try and keep it updated as I go along now.

Cheers for looking
