reliability is the most bling by far

 

Still doing work on mine to get ready for the ring trip.

fitted coilovers,secs monitor,paddle clutch,polybushes,engine mounts,alloy bits,quick shift,new rocker cover and gasket,strut brace.

got to do all the rear,polybushes,powder coating etc....

nothing bling really ,i just want the car to be good on road and track.

might get to drive it wen finished,only had the car 7 weeks and done bout 30 mile in it.

 

I have done lots and lots, it started with needing just a new turbo, then I thought about some new suspension, and bushes, and wheels, and brakes, and an oil breather, and a spot of powder coating, and thats all I can afford

Next big thing will be 2 YB's welded together to make a V8 cossie
