Had the car a little over 7 months now, and i must say im loving it put 16k miles on in that time and its still well!

by far the best car i have ever owned, since owning it, iv sort of landed on my feet in terms on modifications, found a guy though a friend of a friend who had sold his car about 6 months ago and had all his mods sat in his garage just collecting dust, so i made him a very cheeky offer and he excepted

Managed to get them all fitted eventually

Spoon N1 and Spoon B-Pipe





Havent really got many pics of the next but it was Tein super street coilovers with adjustable pillowball top mounts and SPC rear camber arms, an just the see te top mounts here oh and my custom cover for the fuse box cover




Next up was the Silver-tec bulbs




Brand new Spoon Rear Tie bar still in its box






Rear Strut brace



old brace


Front lower brace



Front upper J's Brace





Spoon Rad Cap - needs a good buff up




Spoon Kevlar Plug cover -




And finlly the spoon earthing kit




front brace fitted

needs taking off at some point and powder coatnig glow in the dark green like the rear spoon one




got a set of HEL Braided brake lines at JapFest @ Combe -




look a goot bit of kit and should have them sorted next weekend along with new CRN discs and yellow stuff pads all round



The car is due a service as well, and as im not 100% sure what has and what hasnt been done on it in the past i figure i might as well do it all. so while im at it got a few other little bits and bobs

J's magnetic drain bolt


Energy Suspension mount inserts


Also managed to get hold of a carbon spoiler for silly money (£40) thats now on




Also had the Car RR'd couple of weeks ago, im very sceptical about RR's and have had bad figures in the past with previous cars, but i was surprised to see a decent result, not bad for just a cat back




Also managed to get hold of some Tein EDFC's for my suspension, got them fitted but not wired in fully yet


Finally, some engine bay bling

Battery tie down



Tegiwa Bolts and washers





harnesses -





New wheels -










New guages purchased





not bad for £40
Planning on Stripping the full car out in the near future and then onto some engine tuning 
cheers for looking

UPDATE

Package arrived from the states monday morning, so i went to pick it up and had to pay £16.85 import charges ah well still £150 cheaper than buying in this country

inside the box was this little lot



Inside the box there was a full polybush kit consisting of -

Rear anti roll bar bushes



Front anti roll bar bushes



Rear control arm bushes



Front control arm bushes



Gearbox aluminuium shifter bushes



Gear shift aluminium shifter bushes



Fitted the two above yesterday, its made the gear change so solid and direct, it was really wollowy compared to before and is pretty much perfect now i think, just needs a shorter throw!

I also decide to take some pictures of the stripped rear and painted spare wheel well






The difference is amazing, feels SO much quicker! rear door cards are also out just no pics yet, just means i can hear every little squeek and rattle now though

cheers for looking
