Am gutted for you Daryl ;)

Shame as its put your plans back a step now, like I said on msn and as Dave said you would have thought some who knew the history of the car would have said somthing.

Enjoy your trip dude, cant wait to see the vids and photo's.

Hope the car makes it back in one piece!

I dont run a BOV either,

but used to run a Blitz one on my old setup. was quite loud!

Ouch!

Some brutal pics in here

;)

Happy birthday fella

Window tints look good mate and very nice result there.

How much boost is the car running now?

Good news dude,

So whats next and the list after the spoiler is done?

Cars looking good Liam, thoes Bride seats are wicked.

Good luck with the MoT dude.

Shes back!!! woop woop

Good to see you've got the car back together dude.

Looks fookin awesome!

Very nice car mate,

Love the clean engine bay.

Any future plans for her?

Cool, so much work goes into these replica things and at a quick glace they can really fool you into thinking its a genuine ferrari.

Would never dream of having one tho

yeh does cheers newbe... engine coolant thats consists of water/anti freeze

Yep thats right, some bottles come pre mixed, some dont but the mix should be about 50/50

I service my car myself, its not difficult at all.

If you wanna do a big service the go for

Oil

Oil filter

Fuel Filter

and a set of plugs

air filter if running standard.

brake fluid change.

When servicing your car top up the levels i.e screen wash, power steering etc, check lights, jack car up ....check tyres (pressures/treads) cv gaitors, bushes, check for play in wishbones steering rack, track rod ends ect, leaks. just have a general look over.

With regards to braks and coolant.

I would only change your pads + discs if almost worn out, no point buying some then finding out they are fine, same with rears.

Do you know when you last had a coolant change, if ages ago or you have done a fair few miles since the last change then do it.

Ive prob missed a couple of things but you get the general idea.

hope this helps

Ouch.... not good!

Hopefully he can get the car sorted for your trip.

Mark if ya need, ive got spare set of shitty 14inch alloys, if you cant get another wheel or set.

Congrats dude

come on babes...get the figures up!!

Haha, sorry hun...not gonna be any figures till end of next week now.

Last minute ecu decision, decided to go for a DTA s40 pro ecu...so gotta wait for that to turn up then be fitted and mapped.

Great turnout, looked like a really good meet

That Blue GT is lovely.

Would love to have come along to this, but the cars not back from the Tunners yet

ahh....i see youve turned sheepish and gone for a tractor:Pany vids of it? when you getting this mapped

Haha, doesnt sound too bad, have got some vids but aint uploaded them off the camera yet.

Mapping is tomorrow..yay ;)

There are too many nice cars on UKSC!!!

Looking really good loving the Bride seat very JDM ;)

Once you get the cage in it will transorm handling bet you can't wait, how is she running at the moment? Which rods did you use in your 5e in the end nice to see some guys still favouring this route great way to go, the extra displacement really helps. Anyway will keep an eye on this one good write up Nick..

T

Cheers Toby, Yeah cant wait to get the cage fitted, Just one problem to over come....Sunroof! will get it removed, covered and strenghend in the next few months, wont cost too much as the garage I work in also has a bodyshop luckily.

Yep all running fine, just finished the running in process then mapping monday, using Pauter Rods.

Have also ditched the 04 and running a TD05H now.

The extra cc's are def noticeable from the beginning, even driving it lightly when running it in.

looks good mate, but where did the blue cam cover dissappear to?

Cheers dude, removed the blue cam cover as I was having issues with the pcv valve (or lack of) so had to fit my old cover.

Do plan on getting it painted a nice colour in time, but as long as it works that all that matters.

very nice mate ...where you getting her mapped?

Cheers Rob, getting it mapped at a place in Hampshire called Rising sun performance.

What a compleat twat!

Everything I hear now about our Government just winds me up!

how much did that all set you back?

Way toooooooooooo much

Little update,

Got a front exit exhaust made up

sorry about the tatty bumper, the body work is last on the list to get sorted

and also head wrapped my manifold.

Got my car booked in to have it mapped on Monday, so hopefully early next week I should have some results to post up.

Very nice car mate with great spec.

You have any future plans for her, other than sort the damage out

Cool pics dude, 3 of the nicest Starlets about
