Completely standard & my intention is to keep it that way apart from changing the middle & back box because it's as quiet as a family saloon at the moment with the original exhaust on. A Nur Spec is being fitted this week.

Absolutely, these were taken straight after the Driverskills session. The car was driven in anger & was faultless, these cars are quite amazing even in standard form.

And more!

Must admit that the Driverskills day was fantastic to really see how these cars can be pushed & how to improve one's driving at high speeds.

See you soon

Thank you, much appreciated.

It is completely straight & would appear unabused, they guy who sold it to me was a true gentleman, he wanted to sell the car to someone who would appreciate the car & give it some TLC.

I have had it mechanically checked, serviced & all oils changed. It's being valeted this week, will be getting the engine bay detailed & someone I know to check out the body work then that is it really.

I will use this car for Spring/Summer driving & the Blobeye Autumn/Winter.

Mine has done a few more miles

Bushes that I changed were

Track Control Arm.
Steering Rack.

These were noticed when I was upgrading the suspension/ARB etc,and I found that with the TCA bushes replaced it felt a stiffer on the rear and a lot easier to get in back into line when giving it a 'spirited' drive

Personally I think a quick check is worthwhile as it's quick and easy (on a ramp anyway

)
