A few new bits and pieces

[Addz]

Decided to go on a bit of spending spree with the car this month, first up was a milltek cat-back exhaust, worth every penny imo!
not daft noisy just a nice rasp and pops and bangs

also i thought a splash of carbon fibre would suit my grey and black theme so got works bonnet scoop too.

and to go against my grey and blackness i thought i'd paint the calipers red to go with the red S's, first time i've done this and pretty impressed with how they come out

well heres some pics, any comments welcome

few scrapes

[Addz]

well i need to front tyres and new brakes again, after that possibly a de-cat and manifold and a smaller pulley to turn the boost up, should take it to about 210-220bhp

:quiet:

lol go on... i can take criticism

bugger how'd you manage that? getting a de-cat and new manifold fitted on wednesday hoping for some flames :rasp:

 

[Dave..]

Well, 4 hours of cutting away the bonding, and pulling, the side skirts came off. Got to take the kit off to get insured on it, needs to be standard (looking)

Flames?! god that mini must be a beast now

 

[Addz]

thats a shame i liked that kit
yeah its getting there, just brought some more discs and pads again! 3rd set in just over a year.. yellowstuffs and ebc ultimax's see how they do!

 

[Dave..]

god that thing eats through brakes quicker than the fiesta goes through its two fuel tanks:rasp:

I'm so coming for a thrash round "the circuit" see whether I can keep up

 

[Addz]

well i'm gonna try and organise a little photoshoot with all small fast things soon, got a few cooper s's a glanza turbo, corsa vxr and a few fiesta st's at the mo! get yourself down when its sorted

 

[Dave..]

sounds good, who knows when it'll be sorted though, need to source some body parts and an exhaust, and then get it sprayed. The amount of hoops I've had to jump through with this bloody car. wish I'd bought a normal one

Dont like minis, never have, never will but urs looks better than the majority ill give u that. Like the wheels and the callipers.
