Cheers bud
Ball joints out was easy just a ball joint splitter to get them out the bottom arm then an hammer to get them out the hub. The drive shaft nut wasn't easy I bent a breaker Bar trying. I ended up getting a full inch breaker bar,heating it but with a blow lamp and putting 5 ft of scaffold pole on the end of the breaker bar then they went haha
 
Made good progress this weekend can see the light at the end of the tunnel, just needs the keys coding and the brakes bleeding ant she's usable now.
It's got a nice Stance I think

















 
Another few jobs knocked off the list today. One minor set back being the aerocatches came with no bolts :-/


I didn't get any pics of them being cut as I got a friend who works as a panel beater to do them














My rivnut gun turned up this week put the ally foot rests in


























Ready for the ecu coding on Tuesday can't wait to take it out
 
Well it's back on the road now got the keys coded by the dealer, just needs a four wheel alignment now.
Now I can work on the making it look good jobs























 
Took it for its first run out todayNext jobs are to start making it look a bit less subtle and more purposeful

What a weapon ..... :)

Any idea on the bhp output? I'm guessing over 300bhp?

Me or the car haha

All the same bits in the red car it was 300bhp, it's a good bit lighter than stock I've removed 160kg not sure what I've put back in thought.

:) As lethal as you might be - the car is the evidence in front of me ...

Hmm - so potentially 300bhp per ton which puts you on a rough par with a 997 GT3? :D
