  1. Looks nice mate, will be a great sleeper, I'd definitely have the hubs, brakes and wheels off the itr. Great job on the seats too.
  2. That is stunningly clean mate, nice one, love the roof too.
  3. x2, should be shifting into 4th at a ton, cone filter in the bin, k&n in a standard airbox or an itr box if you can find one. Cone filters suffer from heat soak. Change that + a good service is the best place to start. Have you taken it to the redline and can you hear the changes in engine note at around 4.5k and 6k
  4. What a fantastic idea Dave, make it the best deck in the land. As Tom said it would be great if you can make it down to Japfest.
  5. It really depends what you want from your exhaust, how you drive etc., I have a 4-2-1 mani as it gives more torque and more mid range power, the 4-1 gives more power top end. Same with the cat/decat really, a decat probably gives the most power but because of the MOT regs you need to put the cat back in to pass, not a difficult job but a pain in the a$$, especially if your MOT is in Jan like mine. A sports cat will pass an MOT so is a good compromise but expensive. A custom system is the best option as it can be built to exact specification and is often cheaper than aftermarket systems which don't always fit straight on.
  6. x2, also somewhere to hang the kids.
  7. Cheers, I'll have an investigate. I already have a small Filipino in the glovebox keeping the fan working.
  8. While my car was busy passing it's MOT yesterday it was discovered that when you switch on the rear window demister the brake lights come on and stay on. Anybody have any ideas what could be causing this, it's not a massive problem but I don't want people to think I'm a middle pedal menace.
  9. MOT passed yesterday. woo hoo. Aux belts and water pump to be done next week. While it was having the MOT an oddity was discovered but I will post about that in the electrical problems section.

    x2, if you're not washing it properly you can actually be making it worse. Have you tried clay yet, you'd be surprised how much cack that picks up, Autoglym super resin polish is one of the best by hand polishes on the market, really easy to use ad gets rid of swirls and fine scratching.

    I'm sure it will be but it takes time it is so much brighter than when you bought it though.
