bongo Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 (edited) what do you mean by it revving so much better then saying it flat spots after 3k? (so it doesn't rev better) looks better than the old one though! Edited December 23, 2008 by bongo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanML Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 small update, pretty much everything is done now, got some rear bearings to put on, fuel filter and some 2.0 mondeo injectors as i dont seem to have them, temp wheels are on while the rs7 spokes are in for painting, hopefully pick them up saturday or monday, cant wait as these wheels do nothing for my car at all... only good thing is.. my brakes look awesome! http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/3139/05032009168j.jpghttp://img6.imageshack.us/img6/3523/05032009169.jpg next month shes going in for painting, gonna have the door sorted from where my mates mrs reversed into me, both rear arches sorted as when i had it done 2 years ago it was done pretty poorly, bonnet done as the paint on the bonnet is terrible, maybe some other small things done when i get some more cash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
