Some Updated Pics After Recent Modifications
I thought that I would post up some updated pics of my Spec C after it has recently undergone some cosmetic changes and had an engine rebuild.
I am running the engine in at the moment and took my camera along for my drive this evening, once I found a suitable location I just clicked away - I hope you like the pics even if some of the cosmetic changes are not to everyone's tastes.
And some of the local wildlife that was giving me some funny looks.

Very nice and the time and effort you've put in is certainly evident. For me the scoop ties in nicely with the look of the rear wing, mirrors and wheels, it's also functionally correct for your induction set up, but like you say, it might not be that each mod is to everyone's taste. By the way, it was vixens I suggested you put in the rear seats to check the mirrors not sheep ;-) each to their own I guess.... I like the overall stance of the car and after looking at how my own sits on the road in a practical way, taking it lower looks kind of cool but means the car cannot be driven across so many surfaces I'd have to keep a fold up bike in the boot.
I hope the pleasure you get from the car is relative to the time, effort and cash you've put in, I'd certainly have a perma-grin driving through that scenery.
all the best

Looks great Ty. I echo Jon's thoughts. Don't quite feel the reverse scoop though.
Looks like it's packing quite a bit of punch now.
Can i get the link to your rebuild thread? Always interested in threads on a Spec C.

Thanks.
Thanks Jura, the APS FMIC was a breeze to fit no real cutting/grinding or bending required a real quality piece of kit if a bit expensive.
I've always been in two minds about the scoop/vent and still might change it to a different type.
The grille needs changing as the APS FMIC takes up the whole aperture and some, so the tow eye is covered but I forgot to sort out a new grille before fitment.

Thanks, but I have to say it's a Marmite thing and I'm still not 100% sure.

It will be packing a lot more punch post remap but I'm still considering which replacement twin scroll unit to go for, I'm 95% sure it's going to be a Scoobyclinic SC46 but there's plenty of time to weigh up all the options.
The reverse vent still/might/probably might be changed yet as I'm still not happy with it but at other times I see it I like it.

Very well Rich, I've put just over 300 miles on her in two days and more to come this week so it should be run in within 10 days.
It's a Kakumei carbon fibre version of the S204 spoiler, they have them for sale on eBay if your after one.

What prompted a rebuild [edit - I'm just reading the rebuild thread, damn surprised you had problems with a Spec C ]? Re the reverse scoop, get a RCM one in carbon

Suspected HG failure which turned out to be more involved, there's a full write up on the link I posted for Suberman.
I quite like the reverse vent which are on the Group Buy in the Members Marketplace.
Yes it was up for sale about 12 months ago but it's changed quite a bit since then, it had white PFF7 wheels and no spoiler.
