Had the car a little over 7 months now, and i must say im loving it :D 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

Image
Image
Image

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

Image
Image

Next up was the Silver-tec bulbs

Image
Image

Brand new Spoon Rear Tie bar still in its box :)

Image
Image
Image
Image

Rear Strut brace

Image
Image
old brace
Image

Front lower brace

Image

Front upper J's Brace

Image
Image
Image

Image
Image

Image
Image

And finlly the spoon earthing kit

Image
Image

Image
Image

Image
Image

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

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
Image

Energy Suspension mount inserts
Image

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

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 :D
Image
Image
Image

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

Finally, some engine bay bling

Battery tie down
Image
Image

Tegiwa Bolts and washers
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

Image
Image
Image

New wheels -

Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

Planning on Stripping the full car out in the near future and then onto some engine tuning 

UPDATE

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

inside the box was this little lot

Image

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

Rear anti roll bar bushes

Image

Front anti roll bar bushes

Image

Rear control arm bushes

Image

Front control arm bushes

Image

Gearbox aluminuium shifter bushes

Image

Gear shift aluminium shifter bushes

Image

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

Image
Image
Image
Image

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 :( :lol:

cheers for looking
