I havent ever been in one but they look so savage its just drawing me to them lol, I bet running costs shaft you in the ass though so may not be a good investment haha!

Not much of an update really..........not a lot else I can do with her at the moment though TBH haha!



Anyway, the week before japfest she started popping the efi fuse left right and centre :( I have no electrical knowledge so didnt really know where to start, only had one option and that was to get her recovered and taken back to TD!!

A couple of days later and many painstaking hours I got the call from Mike to tell me they were quite satisfied they have found the problem and that she is now up and running sweetly again :) so off I popped straight from a night shift on the train to go and get her.....



Again the same as last year, she was picked up the day before japfest! I got back at about 7 in the evening by this point I had been awake for a good 30 hours and was tired to say the least but we couldnt stop there.............she has to be made to look reasonably pretty for the ball so a couple of hours later she looked like this...........

That was enough for me, time to have a curry and get some sleep ready for the big day :)

Got round to fitting my JD tuning clear cam cover and had a nice surprise on removing the stock one, turns out I have a red cam pulley :) sweet!

Also received my JD Tuning bonnet struts, I was a bit wary of putting these on with my fiberglass wings as they are quite fragile! on the drivers side as well for some reason the wing didnt meet up with the body of the car..........I have no idea why.......:(

Jezza kindly supplied me with a couple of rubber washers to fill the void and I set about fitting them! and I must say, the fitment was spot on, well happy with them! looks tidy and I no longer have to use a plank of wood to prop the bonnet up now :)

Yes dude she is nearly done, should have had her final MAP yesterday but Ricky got held up so I've been told she's going on the dyno Monday morning

I HAD spare cash until I bought a starlet haha, I work away a lot so don't get much time to spend so when I'm home I like to live life on the higher side shall we say lol
