vti_786 Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 Thanks guys, took a bit of grafting but it's well worth it when your car smells fresh when the door opens.I'm going to leave the suspenion to the garage to do, if i try to do it, it will tae me a while as i only have sundays off I am going to focus on improving the look of the engine bay next Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vti_786 Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 I have had the suspension swapped over, but nothing has really changed or improved only benefit i have had is a knocking type noise which i think was due to the strut top mount, that has gone .Pics of my car standard: stainless steel manifold and downpip: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
