*big update*
after many false starts my car is finally back on the road so was out yesterday for its first boosting of 2014
only ran it at 15-16psi to shake some cobwebs off it but the grin factor was certainly there had so many people rubber necking including a fella in a porsche 911 who couldnt stop looking at it then gave me the thumbs up with a big smile on his face
i have decided to invest in a pair of uniroyal rainsport 3 tyres in 195/45/15 as my current rainsport 2s on the front are 195/50/15 and are catching my arches on full lock, i also believe the rainsport 3s are meant to be another step up from the 2s and if so that can only be a winner as i really rate the rs2 as a road tyre.
all i have to do now is get the car to my mates garage to carry out a few jobs before its back on the road properly.
oil and filter
fuel filter
new dizzy and rotor
move radiator over a few inches so can run intercooler pipe where there is more space
new top mounts/top hats/bearings etc
fit new tyres
refit front n rear strut braces
and a good general health check over the engine make sure theres no leaks etc etc
