Here is a modification I haven't seen anyone else do. It tidies up the rear end, benefits aerodynamics, saves weight and is really cheap.... No use if you like listening to the radio though. Lol

Well I am off to bed. Got 10km to run through mud and obstacles in the morning! Photo from last time:

Double posted the photo.... Anyway this is my wife and I waiting for our tea. Don't have a selfie stick and even if I did I wouldn't have it with me. Lol

Oh and I'm doing a 10km mud obstacle course in the morning! Not done any training and don't even know exactly where it is. Lol. It's not going to go well but it's only the first one of the year so can use it as a bench mark for the rest of the year.

Out for my tea at the moment at a place called The Last Zebra and then off to see the Fast and The Furious 7! The first time in months we have ventured out of the hills into the city! Lol

A few more bits:

Just bolted to the bumper for now. I will secure it to the subframe and also sucre the bumper a bit more as its sagging down.

Finally!

I am not sure what power it has at the moment as I am just running the base map and only part throttle as it might run lean with the exhaust and longer trumpets. No cams yet as the engine just had its dephaser and belts done before I bought it. Need to save up £1000 ish I would imagine to get...

A few parts arrived too for some up and coming plans:

Well the car got me home. Didn't miss a beat. Didn't use any oil or water which was good news. The Jag is here too! Lol.

Someone in Germany is selling NS-2R for a good price but he isn't sure what the tread wear is. They are 86W XL loading. Do they have the tread wear marked on the side walls?

Looks stunning! Nice exhaust. Same as I have.

Thanks. It's been a roller coaster that's for sure.

I will swap injectors and see what it's like and check compression.

No I didn't have any compression equipment. I have lots of injectors (12 in total) so bound to have at least 4 that are good. I will compression test the engine sometime if I can. I think my friend has a compression testing kit. I have never had any experience with one to be honest. I initially...

Other options are available but I can't decide which one is best to go for and the price differs so much. PMS (£130), Compbrake (£170 or £220), K-Tec (£178), Kam Racing adjustable (£194) and AST (£366).

After a lot of carrying on I have finally got my plate T4RKO on the Blue Clio. This has meant I can now sorn the Silver Clio and get some tax back from that and have already swapped the insurance over from the silver Clio to the Jag!

They only have 195/55/15 available at the moment in 180 wear rate. I am going to try eBay as they have them for £260 delivered. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4x-Nankang-NS-2R-Tyres-Track-Day-Race-Road-195-50-R15-86W-SOFT-ALL-SIZES-/331503407698

Does increasing negative camber not help with the side wall issues? I think I will go with NS-2R's and see how I get on. 120 compound on 86XL load

When we compare tyres like RSR and NS-2R are you using the same load index and compound as I see the NS-2R comes in 82W and 86XL load rating and various tread ware ratings from 120 - 180. The RSR I keep coming across are only in 82W and 140 tread wear.

I always thought Matt wrap would show up everything like finger prints, dirt, water marks? Is this not the case?

The only thing I am struggling with is the colour. Can't decide between black or white and then there is a few options such as matte or gloss or 3d etc. plus unsure what would go best with white wheels and black front splitter.

Thanks for the advice guys. I am thinking of doing the roof and bonnet white. I currently have a non matching bonnet but am getting a fibreglass one so am thinking it will be cheapest and easiest to wrap that. I want to do the roof as I will be removing the aerial, fibre-glassing the hole...

I am wanting to wrap my roof and bonnet but am away from home for another week. I was looking at getting the vinyl ordered ready to do the job so was wondering if anyone knew the length and width of the bonnet and roof? Thanks.

£57.00 for MLR hoses delivered. You're looking at £80 for HEL or Goodridge. All you have to ask yourself is are they worth the extra £20+?

Did you click my link? It was just for the power cable, Earth and fuse. It was actually a amp wiring kit but a lot cheaper than buying cable, fuse and holder. I already have the other eBay kit.
