172 Cup
Received a new goody thanks to @M172Cup
an OMP strut brace for the engine bay. I'm torn between painting it yellow or chrome.. Hm
Ahh yayy [emoji5] glad it got to you ok mate! Enjoy
Got some new rear discs thanks to George on here. Top stuff! So soon I'll have a whole rear refresh same as the front last year.
New Genuine Ren/Brembo discs.
New Genuine Brembo Pads.
Hel Braided Rear Lines.
10mm Rear Camber Shims.
Yellow Painted Callipers all round :smile:
Also got some photos of the strut sat in place. It's either going Yellow or Chrome. Also some photo whoring.
Car should be booked in end of Feb at RStuning. Hopefully.
Also next on the list to buy are 16mm hub centric bolt in front spacers.
Still on the hunt for FK Euro rear lights.

Que the pointless update but it's the only thing I've done in a while other than drive like a complete bellend.
Anyway, one of my sidelight LEDs started the flicker so got them changed to an ice white blue tint which goes with the xenons bang on imo
White on the left. New blue white on the right.
/end pointless update.

Not much happened recently.
Had my heroic driving moments and seen/recorded plenty of other road heroes with the dash cam.
Was going to buy a private plate, however I've started to wheel spin everywhere so got a new front set of rubber instead for the moment.
£148 x2 Delivered.
Updates will start to happen again soon.
Strut brace, spacers, more yellow etc.

New PS3 tyres are now on! So far so good, it's weird to say but I can actually feel my front end now. Probably because new proper tyres and the fact the other ones were pretty much illegal.
Before they got put on though this happened:
Got the car Hunter Tracked and Aligned.
Only £25! I originally asked kwik fit like a noob how much they would charge..
"Anywhere from £50 upwards"
Lol. Straight out the door.
Explains why I was pulling to the left.
Also finally did something myself again and changed the throttle body to the liquid yellow one
My mental list of what's happening next are these:
- Private plates/Recessed front fancy plates.
- RSTuning Remap
- DiamondMotors Service&Health check.
And In between all of that is getting my other bits sorted (camber shims, Strut brace, callipers etc)

Haven't updated this in yonks as I haven't done anything in yonks lol.
Until now! Although it's not that exciting.. The colour defo is!
Painted the OMP Strut in Liquid Yellow ..
Photos don't do this colour justice at all !
Just need to wet flat it down once the laquer has dried then buff it up then add the "OMP" black and yellow sticker back on. Mhm

Sold the V6 induction, got a ktec and can confirm the Ktec is by far superior to the V6 kit!
Had it's first 5K service with me using genuine oil and filter, also a genuine oil change on the gearbox oil, probably first time that's ever been done.
Other than that it's been cleaned a lot. 2 stage Machine polished via DA using megs products and chemical guys pads
Here's how it's looking at the mo;
Gotta love a normal looking car with a Lairy engine bay :wink: :laughing:
