Nice additions!

I do like the rear one, not sure on the front especially on the facelift as I think it doesn't suit its lines well. I may get one in the future at some point but just not keen on it.

Just a bit of a update. I have made a few changes now. Its now running turbo back mongoose system which I picked up for a complete bargain Ł200 for the full lot. So I am now running the dreamscience mod c map which with the supporting mods should be around 300bhp 350lbft torque. As you can imagine its now slipping on the standard clutch so now need to upgrade to the rs clutch. Also added some mudflaps to try keep it a bit cleaner for longer and stop so much tar marks. They are prob not to everyones taste. Also had a play around with the front grill but thats back now standard for a few reasons.

haha it gets a few laughs. It also points out that when I park in the parent and child bays I actually have a kid and not park there for the sake of it. You should see the looks I get when I park in them. I had some lady confront me saying 'you should'nt park there' she soon shut up when I got my little girl out the back lol.

Was it the timing that was giving the running issue Gary or was it something else

I haven't had a chance to chance to dig any deeper as yet mate although it is a tooth out on the pulleys so I'm 99% sure it's that!

Gonna crack on and have a look next Tuesday!

I bought it with a running issue, it went into a dealer last year and they did a head gasket on it but never got it running right afterwards and it's throwing up fault codes relating to cam/crankshaft timing and I can see it's a tooth out on the pulleys so going to throw a new belt on and reset the whole lot and hope for the best!

Yeah that's it mate, I put a thread up a few weeks back!

I'm almost certain it's gonna be the timing but I've got an engine sitting and waiting if needs be!

As for my saph, cheers mate! Unfortunately you wouldn't say the same if you actually saw it in the metal, the bodywork is shit!
