Well thought I'd start a thread with the new changes which will be coming in stages over the next few months. Will thank everyone involved in helping me out. Must warn you this gets pic heavy lol

This is what the car looked like when 1st bought 3 years ago



This is what it looks like today





These few changes were made not so long ago





Also recently fitted was a Andrew Carr hybrid TD04, Sti tmic, pink 550 injectors and a remap which Andrew said feels somewhere between 300-310 bhp and the spool is amazing.

Thanks to the boys down at scoobyspares for fitting the new Godspeed discs and Kevlar pads (thanks Ian excellent service) stopping power is awsome now.




I will keep updating as there's more changes to come with some juicy parts on order.

Comments welcome guys

Cheers
Martin

Thanks tommy can't wait for the roof flap mate it's going to Ryan before I go see frayz with it. I was thinking about the Sti side skirts although am not sure if I prefer the block look better then the twisted. What you think?

Jon all sorted now lol that was the testing stages haha

I'm thinking it looks a bit odd with the front brembos so a pm to Ian @ Godspeed is in order to get some rear brembos to make it match

Ordered a roof flap from Japanparts a few weeks back they didt have the colour I wanted in stock so told them to send me a white and off it went to Ryan (prodriverules)

This is when it came



This is what Ryan's just sent me






Must say Ryan is amazing at his job and had no doubt he was the man for the job the quality of his work speaks for itself. Thanks again buddy
