Default detail my engine bay, heres pics

spend all day taking off all the hoses, cleaning and detailing, also added new header tank and PS tank but this pic was taken before the PS tank was added, more to come!

sorry about the quality, by the way the gay gold actuator was painted by the last owner, its currently off the car, a brand new item is on the way!! apart from that this car is absolutely bog standard.

Well for me Stg1 is the way they all schould be, that's all. Acountiung dept. together with ecology people made the engineers detune them.


I always try to persuade people not tu tune cars hgeavily but to replace items that brake down with better parts. So when suspention bushes go I would replace them with uprated items, when shocks go the same and so on....

AZ i totally agree with you mate which is what i'll do, when things start to go pop, i'll replace with uprated bits but they have to be in the orginal colour, like i want some konis, but im going to ring them and ask them to make them in black, instead of yellow. very bufty but hey each to their own!!

has anyone got any pics of carbon fibre front splitter (lower) and carbon hockey sticks?

maybe i should got stg 1? lol stop it!

This is how VERY sideways looks like:




Sig is just a little too much speed at corner entrance and some LFB + some power fed Wish you've seen what was happening in next one



But reall driving comes when the suface changes:
