Bussey Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 (edited) Well, thought it was about time to start one of these, I've owned her for just under a year now, and in that time I've had quite a bit done. I'm probably forgetting some bits here but I'll try my best. Work I've had done follows.- Custom manifold and front exit made by Quest Motorsport- Poweflex engine mounts all round ( still need to get round to fitting the last one )- PAS removed- Racespec rocker cover made- Half rad - HKS ssqv - Carat rear lights - Ducktail spoiler bootlid fitted- Genuine TRD carbon hood scoop- SSR superlights refurbed in silver - Stripped out interior minus the seats, dash, roof lining and doorcards- D1 spec earthing kitAnd I'm sure I'm forgetting some other small details The car was a pretty decent spec when I bought it, lots of goodies on it, and the previous owner treated her well and had a genuine reason for sale. Anyways picturesFirst day I got her And now, she's changed a bit And a few pictures of the bay progression, manifold when it was first made And a little rolling road session to check all was good and adjust my boost controller Rocker cover after being madeAnd my bay nowAnd I'm pretty sure that sums up the progress so far. Oh and a few other random snaps, And that's me done for now Edited August 18, 2015 by Bussey Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bussey Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share Posted April 26, 2014 Another update, Had new Hankook V12 Evos fitted on the front, quite happy I did because the old tyres were pretty badly worn on the inside due to my tracking being out quite a bit! Anyway.... new tyres, tracking and alignment done, braces fitted and some new spark plugs. So yeah it's been a productive dayOld tyre........niceee And some braces Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bussey Posted May 8, 2014 Author Share Posted May 8, 2014 (edited) Decided I'm going to be going down the ultra lightweight route, fully stripped her out today as much as possible, was shocked how much weight was still in there, plus there's still more!Race battery Maybe some carbon fibre, Time will tell I suppose, Anyways pictures (it was in 4th, the stick isn't usually that far back ) Edited September 21, 2014 by Bussey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
