Glad it's alls sorted mate. Hope see u in summer or at wroxhall again

 

Thanks for that! Yep already booked my tickets!

 

Just caught up on this thread and im gutted to see that happen again to you mate.

 

But its nice to see it work out in the end.

 

Yea I know mate, maybe it's something about cambridge as these things keep happening there :D

 

Thanks for the kind words it is nice when everything works out.

 

Great to hear it's all working properly now :)

 

Thinnk I have a spare VVTi plenum still if you need a spare for modifying/painting etc. I got the ridge on the top of mine cut off, and then got it powdercoated in sating black. Looks much better than stock, and much cheaper than buying an aftermarket plenum.

(ignore the red lines near the throttle, was a pic I did a while ago to show someone my throttle adaptor)

 

Thanks Jay, that does look really good! You'll have to PM me a price. My missus is already judging me for the last lot I spent :lol:

 

Happy days mate, nice when it all starts to come together!

So got the car out today after charging the battery up this week.

 

I got my partner to take some photos with the camera I got her for Christmas. She had a play with some effects as well but still getting the hang on setting up the camera.

 

If anyone has any tips on photo editing software as well that would be appreciated!

Oh and the car is driving great. Need to get the restrictor ring fitted though as hitting 1.3 bar when it gets colder!

 

I also fitted this in the glovebox: imageimage

 

Really handy and well made!

So quick update as quite a few things have happened since picking the car up from SRD.

 

Only had the car out a few times and the front main oil seal let go and dropped half the oil. Luckily I had one of SRDs undertrays to keep the oil contained. Lee also changed all the belts and gave it a going over while it was there and it appears to be spot on.

 

Decided to get it detailed while it was there and got the engine bay cleaned up. It's looking great right now.

I was really worried about getting it detailed as the paint is thin but despite that the detailed said the car was in really good condition, so shout out to Darren at Atlantic detailing. It's near SRD so definitely recommend them

 

Car is driving great again. Got a video to post up. Need to get a decent microphone with a cover on it to reduce wind noise.

Looks real nice man! :D

 

Well done mate that looks sublime! Bet you are over the moon! Christian at Invisible Touch did mine when at SRD years back and that is definitely on par from Atlanta. Very nice [emoji3]

Thought I had better update this as its been quite a while. I guess the next thing to happen after the last post was Suprapod 2017. It was a great day with the GTR club in attendance and I had some great races!

car performed well but seemed to be low on boost at the time i remember which in the end I believe was the boost pipes being collapsed. i changed these and all was well. it was a pain of a job and i cant seem to find the pictures of it. All fixed after that though! (Edit: added the photo of that pipe!)

some pictures and a video here: Suprapod 2017 - YouTube
