I'm not sending the car down to Enginetuner until I have everything possible that I can get for the build! Suspension mods will have to wait as that's another £700 I don't need to spend until after the build!

Oh yeah
Received my Supertech Inlet/Exhaust valves and stem seals today
Just waiting on paying for a few bits-
Carbon roof
Clutch and Flywheel (ACT clutch, possibly OEM 6 speed flywheel)
Wheels
Then fit the rest of the 6 speed setup, repair the wiring loom where it melted from the heat from the headers
Hopefully when the weather picks up, I can de-gunge the underneath, paint the hubs and fit the brakes etc so I can get it rolling at least!
Then, after all that is done can I concentrate on getting the engine away for building
Not much to do! Thank god for my summer rota where I work 3-4 day weeks got a lot to get through!!

Cheers buddy luckily mine was done before I bought it! I really like the 22b vents but the mrs is unsure, need your car to be done so I can show her she says it's got the P1 front end so leave it that way, if you want the 22b look, get the bumper and arches she knows her stuff !

Cheers Ryan, thanks for the offer buddy, I'll probably be giving you a bell for some advice on fitting it, the car won't be running or a long while yet and want everything done for when the engine is fitted

I was in the mind of wanting you to do this as quick as possible,but looking at all these stunning ,top end additions i've changed my mind and will just drool over the photos.
This project is hopefully gonna be an absolute screamer and a well respected car in the area.
If you need any help with anything at all give us a bell,the offers always open.

Thanks matey I will take you up on that offer
I kinda have to get the car rolling ASAP as we are in the process of buying our first house! Good news is, it has a garage so I can crack on with sorting it out once the initial shock of extra cash going out has passed

I'm the same buddy, I bought a steering wheel I didn't need, sold perfectly good wheels that I could've kept and a carbon roof that I didn't need also it's a roller coaster and a half this modding lark !!
