X_Milch_X Posted January 30, 2016 Author Share Posted January 30, 2016 (edited) Nice little update on my thread: -Suspension: Felt like the ride on the BC coilovers was too harsh so upped them by 20mm and this has made all the difference (Had a bit of trouble though as they had siezed and a new lower mount was required due to it) -Radiator: Previous stock rad was loosing coolant therefore replaced with an idworkz half size rad and my god what an upgrade the coolant no longer leaks and the engine remains cool for up to 20mins before it even gets on the scale - even pushing it -Exhaust: The previous exhaust was basically just hanging on upgraded to a Race Works exhaust courtesy of David Ashton -Wiring: Dash lights didn't work, Interior light didn't work previous own had basically tried there hand at electrics this has now all been resolved and works as it should -Removed window tints not to my taste Some pics of the progress so far..... Engine Bay & Half-Rad: Interior: Key light, Interior light, Carbon dash, Indigo Dials (Didn't like the moman one's), New leather omp wheel with red stiching & pro sport Boost gauge Exhaust: UKSO Decal: Merlins Blood: Gave her a clean: Car is starting to take shape now next thing is to address the engine bay......
