Looks good. How much was it?

 

[Grant-SBP-]

wow thats low milage!!

 

[dotty]

Nice price !

 

[Loxy]

Very nice indeed bud. :smt023

My advice on first mods would be to get the Eibach 15mm Progressive Springs, they solve the crashy suspension feeling.

Then get the Fast Road Set-Up, basically full 4 wheel geometry set-up but you need front camber bolts and rear shims fitted. Even if you don't get the springs get the FRSU.

Then I'd get some Ferodo DS2500 or Cosworth Streetmaster pads, some braided lines and Motul RBF 600 fluid. That will transform the brakes. Standard discs will be fine to use with these for street use.

World is your oyster when it comes to engine tuning! :twisted:

Most of all enjoy it.

Oh and if I haven't said it enough, minimum get the Fast Road Set-Up done! Transforms the handling.

Excellent thanks for your comment! Yeah i've read about the FRSU alot, so i knew it was highly recommended. Guess thats the first thing to cross off the list

Looking good mate and a very nice price

Brakes,steering and suspension upgrades is a good start

 

[Dunes]

Update on car. Got out to the horror of seeing this!

Any advice on what to do other than buy a new tyre! Seeing as its virtually brand new!

 

[nige t]

Have you tried to remove it?
If its gone through and leaking,all you can do is buy a new tyre.To close to side wall to repair.

If it were me I'd have to buy two tyres. Don't want two differently worn tyres on the same axle.

Sell the good one on ebay as a part worn. Heck, sell them both but just be honest!

Not updated since purchasing the car as i haven't done anything! However this morning i attempted to paint my calipers and failed miserably! Any remedies or suggestions on either how to make it look better or strip the paint? Its Hammerite Smooth.

 

[Chris.]

This is why I don't do too many things myself, just ends up fail. :lol:

 

[Dunes]

I agree, but Suits how-to made it look so easy! Gonna try and improve the finish at the weekend if the weather holds out.

 

[Dunes]

Right, thought i'd better update this ... it has been almost 2 years. Current mod list can be found on the OP.

Photo from yesterday, loaded and ready for the body shop.

First piece on

 

[jimbothemagnificent]

Holy downforce Batman!

 

[Dunes]

Ha, pretty much what my old man said when he saw it. Vented fenders tomorrow, should be interesting

 

[Dunes]

Just a quick update, fenders are now on!

I'll do a bit of a write up either later today or tomorrow. Going to a BBQ now

Photos are not the best, I'll take some better ones tomorrow when I give her a wash.

 

[fallenkshatriya]

Nice! :thumbup:

Sad day, tried to see how much damage to the driveshaft there was but couldn't really see. All the offside airbags have deployed and a bit of minor damage to the body work.
IMO, the damage isn't that bad, just got to wait 3 days now before the insurance company will even review my claim.
