Faulkner 155lb springs ordered, shall be here tomorrow! Top service from Kam racing as usual.

It'll be far from standard in a year or so if things keep on going as they are now :p

I have, but I want to make this my project, doing a lot of the work myself or with friends. Boost would be paying someone to do the work... I'm tempted by a set of morettes to take out the fog and use as a cold air feed, but I kind of like the standard headlights.

Sorted this exhaust, which then went back to how it was 5 minutes into driving.

Tell me about it... She's off the road as of this Saturday for major work to take place over Winter, I'm also hoping to pick myself up a little DA and bit of kit, so it'll have a polished shiney surface hopefully!

I also removed the 'cold air feed' pipework from the standard airbox, it's pointless and just gets in the way.

You're probably right! Kerb weight they're 930kg iirc with the spare wheel. With that taken into account, mines got to be around 890kg with all things removed and lighter items (exhaust, manifold is considerably lighter!). Got the SuperSprint manifold fitted last night with the help of a good...

Cracked on with more stripping/weight saving to pass the time, a fair bit has been removed now and I'm getting to the tricky bits. She's still here! Works van has taken it's place as a daily currently, but if the weather holds off later she'll be given a few heavy feeted...

So my SuperSprint 4-2-1 manifold arrived yesterday, and I noticed it appeared to have a dent in it. So today I whipped of the appalling heatwrap that the seller claimed to have cost £60 for...and looky here, what do I see! The seller said nothing about this, I questioned him about any...

I was in awe.

A couple I ran into in London in August.

Currently had the car just over two weeks, and I've already spent about £350 on her! I've stranded away from GAZ coilovers atm, as I'm currently sat on Bilstein B8's at the front, which go very well with a set of Faulkner 155lb springs. Currently because it's on 50mm shitty springs, I think the...

No, you would not! Standard they are utter w**k imho. The engine sound is pathetic (has no grunt/note), acceleration is flat below 4-5k, handling is shocking, the interior is cheap at best, and the brakes are utterly abysmal! But, as said above a few times... Exhaust, cams, stripped...

Picked her up from newton abbot bud.

Who's the good looking chap in the blue hoody?

I'm sure it's from around here!

As Josh said, basically the same car bar the cosmetics.

So Payday is this Friday. I'm nervous. Plenty of things are wanted, and plenty of income shall be had. I'll write a little update list of the parts I want below. (No timeframe for these as a fair bit will be garage jobbos) Catcam 743's GAZ GHA Coilovers 266mm 206GTi brake setup Front end...

GTi every time.

I'm not following you :smirk:

Tbh, I'm not sure I've seen another Mk1 on the road!

Mate, the seats are out. It's basically cammed!

That's all you'll be doing ;)

It was indeed Dan! Christ that is steep... From going to every one of Josh's track days, it's insane how much he's improved in confidence and capability. He's much quicker in the corners, braking it spot on, and is hitting consistent good speeds. Car handled flawlessly, didn't miss a beat and...

Half way through the day. The end of the day lol.

Door panels, seats, parcel shelf, sound deadening, seatbelts, panels from the rear all removed SuperSprint decat+non silenced center section fitted along with the SuperSprint backbox and Powerflex mounts Green cotton Filter fitted (can't remember if I posted previously about that?) Should have...

I'm just not feeling these in all honesty. Obviously f**k what I say, it's your car, just my two cents.

Glad to hear she's still going!

I loved that to death, looked f**king brilliant! Had it's problems though from what I heard?

My dieting will start this weekend, seats, panels, headliner and my left nut. I'm down for that man!
