Well, there ya go....if it has that effect on non-believers then, it must be okay

Cheers dude

Got a list of stuff still to do:

Fit oil cooler
Fit drop links
Fit uprated bushes
Refit heatshlieds to turbo etc
get heat blankets for IC piping
New MAF sensor
Stiffer spring for the Forge dump valve (its currently not got one as its got a way too ewaek spring....full Gaz-boz spec tssschhh everywhere :roll: )

Then save up for a ECU.......then is done, and I will leave well alone and concentrate on having fun in it rather than spannering on it full time!

Nice brakes, I recognise the threaded insert in one of the caliper brackets!

Yes, they are nice, I like the design of the pads retaining brace that helps stiffen the whole caliper....looking foward to testing them out fully

Just for reference. here are a couple of pics of the car the day I bought it, The first thing to go were the wheels....I had my Work Emotion CR's arrive that afternoon

Will try and dig out a pic of the engine bay, it looked in a sorry state

What a transformation - seeing how it started I'm surprised you bought it

- but yeh those original wheels were bad !! a long with the stilt like suspension.
