The next thing on the list was brakes after alot of debating i found the 3g and wilwood combination off dave so i got in on that group buy about 4 months later they arrived and what a piece of kit that was.while daves brake group buy was on i came across a blitz access ecu on ebay so i went for it and what a difference that made i was well impressed with it. one day when i was driving to work i bounced over a unavoidable rock and i dented two of my four wheels (wounded) so i purchased a set of 15'' jmags off dave (marmite wheels. lol) BEFOREAFTERAfter that toby started a ultra racing group buy so i put my name down for the 4 point front lower arm and the 2 point rear lower arm bars. just a few pics of my handling parts that are on.wilwood/3g 4 pots off dave burwashwhiteline 24mm front arb, ultra racing 4 point lower arm bar, and whiteline anti lift kittein coilovers, rsr panhard rod and whiteline rear arbWhile i was waiting for these to arrive i decided to sell the ecu as i was going to need a emanage for the setup i was going for so i sold it for what i paid for it so it was worth the wait. Then it was coming closer to my 21st bday so my other half wanted to know what i wanted for my bday and i thought why not get a number plate so i found the one i wanted and went for it only to find one problem, it only looked right in a line and i coudn't pull myself to get it on a square plate, so to skill customs in marple i went and my car underwent the sides being painted grey again, arches rolled and the rear bumper modified.well i got my car back this week ending in 17th/03/08.so thats the score upto now i'll update soon with pics etc. hope its up to scratch and ididn't pass my engilish gcse if you can tell lol.to come guys and gals speedvision hybrid, autobahn fmic, hks ssqv, blitz dual solenoid ebc,and much more. plus i treated myself to a 8megapixel camera so expect alot more pics lol.i went playing football on sunday the 20/4/08 and sprained my ankle lol so ive not been in work for mon and tues and maybe weds but we'l see.
