Give it a good polish today


Had it live mapped last week at MSD,peaks at 35psi,holds 28psi now
Just needs inner wings spraying white to finish the car off,lad I bought it off ran out of money to get under bonnet area painted same as car,was planning on doin it the winter just gone,but got carried away with powdercoating all my suspension!
Planning on lifting the engine out and stripping everything off inner wings next winter and getting it painted

Couple of closer up pics of dash as promised

Bought them second hand unused,think they are -30mm
Have the same Eibach spings on my sapphire lowered 20mm but the 3" Mongoose exhaust scrapes on every speed bump etc also cant carry any passengers in the rear for the same reason!!!! you have a great looking car
if you like polishing give p21s concourse wax ago mate its the bees knees. your paint needs to be perfect before using it tho. i clayed mine , then used megs cleaner wax,then ssr2, then vanilla moose handglaze, so as you can tell i enjoy polishing

Bought some last summer m8,hope they still make it cause spilt mine all over the road
Had a crack in turbo core,leaked 6 litres of coolant into my sump
Turbo repair place could only get an oil cooled core at the time,was a week wait for a water cooled core,and I couldn't face waiting another week to get it back on road

Is there a reason the turbo water feed is disconnected?
