No nothing sorry , taken the inlet manifold off to swap for one we powder coated , the intercooler is off and looking to get it re-cored as the fins are quite bent , giving the engine bay a refresh , I've fitted a pair of mint low mileage P1 seats as I prefer the blue over the red sections on them

Apart from that it's had to take a back seat , we're busy in work , and the rest of my time is spent on my new build house , and i'm getting married in a week , so it's been a busy year so far !
We need a longer working week lol

wow , been a while since I put anything on this thread , car has been gathering dust and hasn't been touch for nearly a year !
Got the powder coated inlet manifold on , tarted a few things up under the bonnet , it desperately needs a new intercooler , it's the only thing under there that lets it down now .
Got on with the brakes as it's one of the last things to do , decided to go a bit special on them , couldn't really do anything normal that's been done before , so ordered up some AP Pro5000+ front 6 pots and rear 4 pots , have already made and fitted the fronts , with a 355mm disc , will probably go somewhere between 330mm - 345mm on the rears , and if needed put an in line adjuster to get the balance right.
Ordered a kit to repair the windscreen wipers as well off ebay this week , the bush on the link arm connected to the wiper motor had broken up , so see if this kit fits and fixes it
That's it for now , really trying to get it done for rally day next week , if i'm there , it will need to be trailored up , no chance of getting it road legal by then

Had a change of wheel last week , as the WRC offset wheels have finally be reproduced by Speedline , I had to get some to finish off the WRC look I want

They have the proper dish in the centre of the wheel compared to the GTZ replica's I had
Also fitted a set of WRC tyres , it won't be putting the mileage in , so won't have to worry about them not lasting like road tyres do

Ordered some finishing bits from Import car parts this morning , so it's getting closer to being finished.
Got a local company to me to sort out recoring my intercooler last week , it's looking a bit sorry for itself , only problem they have is they can't get the crimped on cores , so they will have to weld it up to fit it , so will see how it turns out , my original one is in a right mess , and has loads of bent fins , so no way I can get it looking nice again , and have put loads of wanted add's up for a good one , and don't really want to spend out on a new standard one , as those prices have gone nuts , and not many about now
Going to be sorting out the rear brakes shortly , 340mm ish discs with AP Pro5000R rear 4 pots
