Some peeps have queried how am I running 368bhp with out a fmic reason is I am running the pace setup it's nice and stealth and no cutting needed :-),
I will be working on the engine side soon but it runs sweet as and no leaks so no need to touch yet.

Just remember fitting one of these diffuser's you lose half your boot lol, And the cost of modifying you exhaust.

Great project
Enjoyed reading this
The rear end cut out looks amazing like the winner of the last 2 NBO s

And nice to see a DIY project instead of a cheque book one

Think he meant the alloy wheel nuts

95turbowagon

iTrader: (17)

Correct, the D1 wheel nuts are a bit flimsy.

howes124

iTrader: (11)

Oppps lol, Once I get the new wheels fitted I will be doing away with the spacers :-).

Looks great! Was hoping you were still planning on running wide wheels as spaced out wheels never look quite as good as wide ones!

howes124

iTrader: (11)

Am going to be running the wider wheels :-), Just using spacers so I still have use of the car.

very interested if you do offer those front splitters for sale or even the stiffis !! car looks sweet am going to have a go at the abw rear diffuser also looks sweet.. no one seems to do those wing stiffis for the classic model those look good quality.

BHPvstorque

btw I also have those exact wheel nuts from d2 in blue and twisted one when fitting so I need to get a new set mind you at £20 not too big a deal just make sure it is all the way on the nut before unwinding as they twist real easy..

Change of job soon means I will have more time on my hands, Will keep you posted on the splitter, stiffi score :-).

Well the cars gone in to storage for a month or so now bit gutted just won't to drive it :-(,

All the suspension has been removed so will give me a chance to have a tidy up ,

As its of the road will do some chassis work already have a h-brace, whiteline strut braces f/r, 22mm anti roll bars, and saving for some tein coilovers "super street" with edfc, And at bargain prices pays to wait and keep your eyes peeled :-).
