Nothing much, just yet. Updated the Satnav and replaced a cracked rear light so far. Picked up a set of OE 18's which I'm having refurbed in Black Chrome. Small drop on springs as it looks like 4x4 at the minute.Maybe looking to upgrade the sound system with some quality speakers as the standard...

End of an era. My time with the CW is coming to an end. Car has gone up for sale due to me needing a diesel for work, to be honest it was time for a new project anyway. Went and bought a 5 series Can't fault the last 6 years of ownership its been a total pleasure to drive.

Mugen is 68mm & i believe the OEM one is 65mm although i may be wrong.

Evening all, So after what has seemed like ages..... Enkei's are finally on. :D Later this week off to TDI North for RRC, Throttle body and Exhaust header. Oh and a service.;) Hopefully see the good side of 230.

UPDATE Not updated this in ages, not much happening for a long time but i've got a few bits coming together for a fresh look and some more power:cool:. Managed to bag a couple of bargains recently in the form of Mugen fuel rail and Throttle body off another forum. Also I've got some...

Love it. Champ white is the best colour but i'm biased. :D

Cheers Fella.

Small Update. Not done very much to the car lately, in fact nothing at all(Saving for a house:rolleyes:). One little thing i did get my mitts on was a Genuine Mugen Fuel rail in excellent condition. Soon to be fitted, but maybe get an RRC intake manifold first.

UPDATE: Been a while since i've updated this, I have been mostly replacing the entire braking system (well Almost). Up front i am now running DC5 Brembo 4 pots calipers, Project Mu HC-CS pads and S2000 Stoptech discs )which are needed to fit the brembos) Also 20mm spacers so the wheels will...

Milano's look good with white rimmage.:D

Flash Pro, HKS Racing Suction kit, Exhaust all depends how deep your pockets are and how much you want to spend. I had my FRSU done at TDI North & was cheaper than ABP. :D

I'm not sure it's worth the hassle to be honest, going rate for DC5 Calipers seem's to be around £450 then they need reconditioning, Maybe £50-£100 for new seals and painting. S2000 StopTech disc's £155, Pads £55, Add all that together and it's getting close to the price of the stoptech touring kit.

Both. Always liked the look of Stoptech touring kit, I think the BBk would be a bit over kill for what i use the car for. I'm thinking of changing everything in one go, front & rears including brake lines. So off the top of my head: Stoptech touring kit Stoptech rear discs Do-luck 6 line brake...

Hey Paul, I think it was because i had 3 years of having a standard exhaust i just got used to the quite. Looks like it will be brakes next as the rear disc's are on there way out. but the question is do i go with StopTech big brakes or some Jdm porn standard sized set up????

19" Rages make it an even harsher ride by all accounts, they do look cool though. also seen a lot of people powder coating them lately as the standard finish seem to degrade and crack.

UPDATE.... Milltek cat back fitted, wasn't sure at first if i liked the exhaust note but now it's had time to bed in a bit (or I've got used to it), I really like the sound now. Theres a nice burble on start up, it is loud but not to loud. Flash Pro and Dyno tune at TDI North was done last...

Springs and FRS are a must have IMO, they totally transform the car ride is much improved

I've got those on my FN2, rides really well and makes the ride height spot on imo. :D

I think really It came down to i wasn't enjoying it anymore. I would get up in the morning and think "I don't want to do it anymore". Don't get me wrong i wouldn't change a thing, I've been all over the world to places i thought i would never see, I've even Flown in the back of a Euro Fighter...

They refused point blank to sign me on past my 9 year contract due to the defence review. So i voted with my feet, I could of hung around 18 months till my contract was up hoping that i would get signed on, or i could move on and earn much more money and have less hassle. It was the right move...

Thanks Sun, Top Work with your DC5 as always.

Lossie AMF, XI Sqn & 6 Sqn so Mostly Typhoon.

Ta La, you hanging around here now to?:D

That probably why his name sticks out. The only Armourers i know from the chopper world is Chris Edgar, Martin Adam & Shaun Miles.

Tony Owens is the only name that looks familiar.

I moved out to Saudi, That Typhoon Q came in handy. :rolleyes:

I did 7 1/2 years, left in June Last year, I moved over to BAE so still an Armourer :D

Sand the rust off and either treat it or paint it. :D

I was in a Former Life, I did 4 years at Coningsby. I left the RAF Last year.

**** knob is really easy, you need to pull down the leather gaiter and there is a locking collar under the knob, Use a 14mm spanner to loosen it then screw off the knob. Easy as that really.:D

Nice FN2 Mate. :D

Hello all, I have been lurking around the site for some time and finally decided to add my FN2 to the members car mix. I bought it new back in 09 and it stayed pretty standard until recently, Over the past 12 months i have added a lot of mods and it is getting somewhere near to how i wanted it...

I'm Averaging 26-28 mpg in my CW CTR.

I think my CW type R is the Nuts.
