same luck as me, make sure you leave feedback on here.

 

if you want a laugh look through my old threads usually starting FAO or one of them is about sonney1600 search them in the main message board hours of reading for you :D

well all i've got to do if mike doesnt send me the boss kit is go and trash his escort. o wait, too late :P have to be the BM :D

i do wish there were more people local to me, make life so much easier and could rope in help. havent done my car at all today as its been pi**ing it down since i got back from the breakers to fix my brothers old rover that we sold to a family friend. he's managed to take a perfectly good car with few knocks and scrapes to scrap in 2 years. and now he wants to buy my brothers subaru :P

 

question for LJennison, why be a member of escort evolution if you will only drive one at night, presumably not to be seen?

 

Missus wants lowering kit for her gti, thus I scout the for sale section, got to keep her sweet. Keep her sweet then you have an easy life :thumb:

You've spent 3grand on that, bawahaha. You must have more money than sense. Ive just spent about the same on some engine mods for my Sti which was dyno'd at 384bhp/324lbft. Heres a few pics for you, but don't hate me as I bought a gti for my missus to pop about in and she loves it. :thumb:

now scoobs ain't the prettiest but that ones nicely chaved up... just needs some stickers now... you've put me right off buying one, that and the propensity to sh~t no4 piston and cr#p bearings

 

It has got stickers if you look closely :thumb:

 

thats just shot yourself in the foot :rolleyes:

 

all i've accomplished in week 1 is change my idle control valve. how shiv is that?

need to get an overhaul kit for my RS2K front brakes as the rubbers have gone now (typical)

tomorrow collecting new wheels and rear lights so only change likely tomorrow will be new wheels fitted (maybe) and new rear lights (def)

monday will see the service work done and exhaust, and if time steering wheel

tuesday will see stereo done and with luck the RS2K front brakes.

wednesday will see suspension done, sitting a nice 30 mm lower and strut brace fitted

thursday will see the sills sanded and re-undersealed as they have surface rust showing which i dont want.

lexus lights are nasty.

 

the ones you have on are fine mate :thumb:

black lexus lights :D

only cost few quid and if i dont like them i'll stick up for sale again or on ebay. i need to re-do the tint on the lights on there anyway as theres a piece of cat fur on one and runs on another and tiny reaction too. use the lexus ones till i get them re-done and sell on whichever i like least :)

 

trial and error but i think it looks odd with aftermarket headlights and side repeaters and tinted standard rear lights. just dont match up.
