Yeah needing to know whats around you is true. I didnt really notice miss mine when it came off. I do tend to wash my car far too much tho lol, so it doesnt really get that dirty. And i've waxed the sh*t out of my rear window so water falls off quickly :)
Re: F4 STA - Back to Standard, Final few pics
Good good good.
I did see you had the gash standard wheels lol. IMO the speedlines make it look a lot nicer :)
I have thought about cams, but i'm just gona stick with the above set up. I did think that when i finish uni i would buy cams and spend more money on the engine but i've allready spent thousands on the car.
So from now on I'll be spending my money on using it on track and getting as many...
I like the look of the rear bumper. Looks like its been done professionaly and not just bodged.
Does take a little too long to get into it but i like the track and the car :)
It will not be the exhaust, the ehxaust does nothing for the emmisions.
Go for a drive and come back to the garage make sure they test it when its hot. If not then go to another garage mate.
The rear is one of the most important parts. Most people just bash on loads of -camber at the front and forget about the rear. Although i would have thought -0.5 isnt quite enough for the front. but just my oppionion

Lol yeah it was an old mental hospital :)
My new "cup racer" lights only weigh 0.7 kg and the normal xzeons weight about 3kgs?! So i suppose i'm gona be saving a few kgs.

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
Your still only 20?!!!!
lol, those seats will look much better than the old Sparcos. I did think about the trailer thingy too, sounds like a good idea but its a bit of ball ache sorting it all out.
A cheeky 106 would be a nice runner round.
