Although it won't be in anyone's rear view mirror for long, eh?

 

That does look beautiful!

I would try Michelin Cup Pilot Sports- you wont wear them that quickly, and they have a proper sidewall, and decent grip- more dry orientated to be fair.

 

thanks Grant

 

To be honest, look at list 1b for MSA approved tyres- they are the ones that will give you a competitive advantage I thought the Michelins were revelational- im using the Toyos at the moment, as running production class.

 

that looks absolutely sick mate
this is the first time ive looked at this shape and thought yes oh yes
spot on fella, mine went out on track saturday

 

Thanks Matt.

Welldone on getting your car back

 

T1-R's!!!

To be fair mate these tyres are fine for normal road use... they certainly are not the best, but unless you are pushing, they are adequate imo. They seem to last well and whilst the dry weather performance is slightly lacking, I really like them in the wet.

For track stuff I use 888's, but once the current set are mullered I will be looking at trying a different tyre and going up a size on the width.

 

Well finally got her home after more hold ups.
The sump had more leaks,the quick rack blew out the high pressure fitting,the original bosch lift pump in tank fuel tank packed in on the way home!
So Colin Greer had to come out on the road side to change it over.Thanks Colin.

After that it was all good ....done 200miles last night and an oil change this morning!

Here she is back on my drive.



Just going to give her a clean now.

What else can i say...engine and turbo is so far very responsive.Suspension is firm but now back breaking.Steers very well with the current set up.Power steering pump is working great to gives great feel and feedback.

Happy days.

 

Great stuff Peter, how many more miles before it's mapped in anger ?

 

Looks lovely Peter, now stop teasing and get some more pics up of the finished bay/car . Wouldnt mind a pic of the bonnet (do i spy some carbon)?

 

Such an awesome project. Love the fact that it looks so stock from the outside

 

Lovin that.

Great to see it on the road, looks awesome.

 

cars looking great fia, loving the project and hope everything goes well mate, is the exhaust loud @ that position ? bet you will get some looks when you screem past them on the motorway lol

Carbon vent Dave

Thanks Frayz...just a bit stock

 

Thanks Neil...

 

Actually quite subtle....have you seen the video?

 

Just need mapped soon andy

Cheers bud

 

I wouldn't be waiting that long before mapping if my car was done

 

Is that why your engines spend more time "off" than "on" the road!

What's the eta on yours now mate?

Pete,
Looks very nice and I hope you enjoy using it. The full "shopping car" look is the way forward mate!

 

God knows, I'm sick of saying or thinking it will be on the road next month. I seriously have no idea ??

 

I've been there in that respect Steve. Best of luck in getting it back on the road, and you back behind the wheel.

 

I know the feel well Steve,good luck in getting her back and with you driving her.
No doubt will bump into you on a strip when yours is ready.

 

Loving the "shopping car" look too,going to be chasing unexpected fast cars soon.

 

Plate is now on the bonnet and detango'd too

 

looks scary

 

Sounds like my car steve

 

Nah...just a big softy.....

 

Pete,
Is that plate legal?

I used to run an illegal plate and I got pulled by Traffic Cops (about 18 months back) on an ANPR sting. I was unaware at the time that this carrys a Fixed Penalty and three points. I just thought it was a producer.

Luckily I managed to get away with it as I had a legal plate on the back seat and tore the illegal one off and put the "real" one back on. I swore to the copper I would never do it again. Hasten to add I never have!

Whilst a fine is bad enough..... I aint taking three points up the backside for that!

Beware if it is illegal.

 

More importantly Peter how many miles you done ?
