Thanks mate. Not sure, ive done so much to it now, and not much more preventative maintenance I can do.

Probably just a wheel refurb in May/June and PS3s all round and a decent alignment set up.

 

[STEVE.M]

Haha im not that bad! Only broken a few things learning though!

What I meant was the average 18 year old would have thrashed it till it broke.
Not kept it going and constantly uprating it.

The mrs did ask that when they were in my room waiting to be fitted, and I quickly put her in her place incase of stains!

No details please.
That`s quite enough of that for one night.

Washed, polished, and dlux applied, will wax tomorrow. Love dlux, really brought the faded plastics back. Also polished my tip for the first time in 4 years!

Maybe one day!

A few more pictures. Didnt get a chance to wax it so just sprayed some Hydro lite on it.

Good day today, visited Surrey Rolling Road for a South Central event. The car made 167.1 bhp, and 146Ftlbs torque, meaning it's only lost 5bhp in 15 years and 110,000 miles, so i'm happy with that, especially as the dyno read a bit low for a couple of people. More importantly, Charlie the tester said it seemed all healthy and is a good car.

Thanks @TimR26 for arranging it.

Brilliant figures mate.Must have been all that polishing made the car lighter :up:

Just sussed it it's the reduced weight with the recaros in.Healthy figure that mate

Yeah i'm happy with it mate, pulls hard all the way.

 

[Mr Plums]

It would have made 172 if you had fitted the injector the correct way up.

Still, good figures.

Haha get out! There were a lot of disappointed people so i'm happy with slightly below 172!

Thats cause you know the injectors boost trick hence made some green with envy

Why the black mirrors out of interest? Seems to let down what seems to be a stunning flamer!

They were like it when I bought it, which at first I didnt know wasnt standard. I may get the painter to do the mirrors when he redoes my cup spoiler, hmm..

 

[imprezaworks]

I had black mirrors on mine when I first bought it. Looks better colour coded tbh

 

[Louis]

Some good dyno figures @Davyy. Want to get mine on to see what sort of figures it has.
Definitely get the wing mirrors done! I wonder what the rear boot button would look like painted too? Looks good on some cars but don't think i've seen it done on a flamer.

If you sell the turinis let me know pal.

You wouldnt want them at the moment mate, they're battered. I cant park, plus a cheap car wash a year or two ago has damaged them. Going to refurb them in the summer hopefully.

Nothing exciting.. bought some Eibach camber bolts for when I get it aligned soonish.

Also.. do people really prefer the coloured wing mirrors?? Just seen this pic on FB.
