Thanks buddy, Haven't got the momo wheel fitted yet as I have to mot it first with the original wheel.
I bought it off a member on here so got a bargain really compared to the price of a new one.
Just got all the new suspension parts fitted at the weekend and all I can say is wow.... Its a new...
Ph1 15" OZ f1`s x 4 rims. All straight but would need a refurb, ideal track day wheels. £100?
Ph2 172 standard 16" rims. All wheels are slightly curbed but very presentable. Tyres are all over 4mm. £120?
Immaculate set of 16" cup spec turinis. Only after a refurb in anthracite. Tyres are...
Vibra-technics engine mounts
Battery cover
Pure motor-sport top mounts and strut brace package
White-line rear arb
Just waiting on the rest of the parts for the suspension refresh from Colin in wests, and then get it all fitted at the weekend.
Should be like a new car.
Engine wise It`s pulling like a train. My friend has a R56 mini cooper S jcw(210bhp) and there`s is nothing in it in a straight line which I was very surprised with.
It needs a full suspension refresh, the inner tie rods have seen better days and there a dodgy gearbox mount.
Overall it just...
Just sell it and buy Barts mini, job done :p
Seriously I'd only get cams if you were due a belt as the gains are minimal giving the cost factor.
New wheel and rarb are a must and maybe a set of proper seats.
Ya seems a good strong engine alright.
As am based in Ireland, so mondello park is really the only decent track that's local to me, but the plan is to get it finished for a few trips to the ring over the next year.
Old exhaust leaking
Hangers saw better days
Old and new

Now onto the springs Old and new rear springs
Going to fit the ferodo ds 2500 pads and tidy up the wheel arches and cailpers
Calipers painted yellow and...
172 spoiler and cup spoiler
Removed the front bumper for painting as it had a few scuff marks
Also sent away all the diamonds and bullets to be painted in anthracite to match the wheels
In with some new Castrol 10w60 and 75w90 gearbox oil
It also has a powerflex dog bone mount fitted

So while I was waiting on my mods to arrive I de-badged and de-stickered the rear end

So here is the shopping list:

Hi all,
Decided to do a few track days this year so I sold my Project for the last four years :cry:
I love Bass feature: http://www.ilovebass.co.uk/article/183/ray-damian-caddys/
So with the caddy gone I wanted something light and fast that could handle.
As it had to be used as a daily I...
Was also thinking of going to go with koni yellow`s front and back on my cooksports or would I be better buying decent coil-overs?
Car only does a couple of track days a year.
