Default Been a while

Some of you may remember me but thought I’d drop in and say hello.

Been a few years now but on the look for a JDM hawk/blob…. Again

Prices have sky rocketed since last time I was on here but hopefully I’ll find something soon.

Regards

Martin

Hello

Obviously forums are a bit dead nowadays with the likes of Facebook now taking the world by storm.

Hope you find something mate

Good luck on your hunt for a new scoob, I still think people will come back to forums eventually, facebook is awful particularly for groups and whatsapp groups could never function in this way. Always makes me smile that people search the forum for knowledge because you just cant find it on FB.

Agreed current format isn't working. I find scoobynet app really useful for on the go. So YouTube videos of new built cars I hear people talking about forums again.

thanks mate

So currently it’s sat having an alarm installed which is the first thing on my list to do..

next up will be timing belt and full service changing all belts fluids filters.

it will have a clear underseal when the weather gets better before having a map tweak for safety rather then bhp, will keep to the whole stock look as I think these will become a real classic one day in standard form

Funnily enough I tried a lot of different wheels including a damd wheel.

Clifford concept 650 with intelistart, has anti hijac which works very well. Price wise it was £900 installed, pricey but well worth the money.

Completely forgot about this thread, I don’t come on here much but since having the car for 14 months I’ve covered near 600 miles

underseal was a clear lanogaurd so not to hide anything and protects the under carriage nicely.








fitted a rcm centre pipe and group N back box






Stopping power comes from Godspeed g hook 2 piece discs front and g hook rears with CL5+ pads all round





Sti Genome boost gauge was sourced and fitted
