Wheels powder coated
Steering wheel re-trim
Seats re-trim
KTR induction Kit

Remap
And a few other maintenance bits.

Thanks mate, oh yeah forgot to add that to the list! That gets a lot of attention actually! Not bad for £250

A very good purchase for £250 I'd say! Anymore plans for the car?

Well I've hit it pretty hard since I bought it, about £3k in 3 months! I'm actually still waiting for the seat covers to come back from Capital Seating so I can put the seats back together. They were supposed to be here on Friday
I'd like to add a few carbon fibre touches, thinking about a sprint booster v3, powerflex bushes and Bilstein B14 coilovers next.

Sounds like you've got plenty in the pipeline then mate. Get a project thread up. :up:

Plans sound good. I wouldn't recommend a sprint booster though. I've heard about them jamming throttles open and I imagine they ruin the drivability of the car

Yeah I've actually had second thoughts since I posted that! I hadn't driven the car for a while and now I'm back driving it I don't think I'll bother.

I see the appeal with them being shite to drive when driving slowly. But once you're pressing on I really can't see the point in lying to the throttle pedal

Welcome to the club mate, car looks bob on.

To be honest since the remap a couple of months ago it drives spot on all over the rev range anyway. I think I just spent too much time on the internet getting ideas! I'm happy with the way it drives, now just a couple more bits to tidy up on the exterior then I'm done for now

Must try and get us LY guys together sometime. Might be nice to get as many as possible to a track day sometime?.
