I’ve had my Cup low boosted with the ED kit for what seems like years. Maybe 4/5 now. The AEM piggy back ECU developed a fault at some point, so needed replacing although ED were helpful. It also needed an uprated clutch after 10k as the standard one which had covered 100k+ had given up at that...

Thanks Ian. Well worth a look if only for peace of mind. Even if they look ok get some Waxoyl in there to help protect it.

Thank you! Just the look I was going for. Thanks mate, couldn’t be happier with it it! I took it to Rusthall Coachworks. Really good customer service and the quality of work is brilliant

The car is back from the paint shop, and I have sills again! exciting times. It's also just passed it's MOT with no advisories so super happy with that. Spent today giving it a clean after taking it out properly yesterday for the first time since August. Drives brilliantly with the fresh...

Clean, OEM, low mileage 1*2’s of any variant will fetch good money in ‘the future’, but the amount you’ll spend just to keep it working, serviced, looked after etc... it’s just not worth worrying about IMO.

Cup tax is a real thing. It will sell eventually, and when it does CS will move on to the next “overly priced” car, completely forgetting this one of course. Rinse and repeat.

Thanks Graham, just confirming what I thought. It matches the wings more closely than the doors which is odd. They are going to do the doors too, and what I’ll be left with (hopefully) is immaculate paint on pretty much 80% of the car.

If you do, will you be doing 280mm adapters? From what I’ve read here, not many do them, but I’m running 280mm setup currently.

Totally agree. Not happy with them. Car won’t be moving much between now and next summer so plenty of time to fix. Will follow this thread

Only just discovered this thread. Mine was just surface corrosion. I have caked them in copper grease to try and remedy the issue but will have to keep an eye on them for sure. Must be from the same supplier as OP’s?

Pictures of the progress so far. Bit of a weird one, but anyone had issues with the doors and rear quarter not matching well after spraying? Rather than being an issue with the colour, is this just 16 year old never been machine polished paint vs brand new paint? Overall really happy with the...

What’s the thought process behind turning such a clean example into a track car? You’ve devalued it by thousands IMO.

100% agreed. Never buying another set of wheels again.

Not the most exciting of updates, but car goes in tomorrow for rust repair. Spent the weekend getting the car ready, removing rear door cards, side skirts etc. Also fitted rear 10mm spacers - loving the way the car sits now. Hoping the sills haven’t gone completely but we will see. Either...

September has been a good month for the Cup. - Complete Cup Suspension refresh - Brembo’s refurbished and back on car - MTEC drilled and grooved discs + Brembo pads - Stud conversion with 10mm PMS spacers - New Cup alternator from RPD Also found the source of the power drain. EPAS conversion...
