Love it just realised I saw your car parked in the car park at Braintree Freeport! Made me purchase a J's too cause I loved the look of it.

[*nub*]

what is the sports cat, 200 CEL? Would have been easy job to swap them over come MOT, 1 hour labour max (if they even bothered lol). get that done before you get cams, then you can make the most of your 70mm intake setup

Were you the EP3 and Vauxhall Astra or something that were parked opposite me near the leisure centre a while back?


It is an awesome exhaust even if I do say so myself.

200 CEL CAT mate. I know it's an easy swap (fitted all my mods myself) but I really wanted it 100% street legal. I might put the decat in at a later date as I'm planning some track driving next year.

Must have been another time then. Been up there a few times recently.

Have you got your J's fitted?

Cool. Is it the 60R you're getting? Not sure if you know but the blue "burnt" tip is some sort of coating and comes off after a while. I removed mine completely because it started getting corrosion spots, looks much better afterwards. :bigthumb:

There's a thread about it on here somewhere with photos including mine with the coating.

I bought some new cleaning gear a while back and thought I'd share.



I'd used Dodo Juice Red Mist before but everything else was new. I spent a long time reading reviews before ordering and I'm glad I did because I love how well they all performed. :yippee:



This is without the Chemical Guys mirror finish!

After spending a fair bit of money on the car last summer, I also ended up buying these.

Buddy Club P1 Racing ii plus



Sold the tyres to another member as I plan to get some Continental Sport Contact 5's.

Admittedly not the nicest wheel in standard form (originally came with polished lips) and these had come in a Volk-esque bonze colour but I fully intend to make these a lot better!



Rubbed down some imperfections and mist coated them to see if there was anything I missed.





Primed up this weekend and have booked to have tyres fitted next week, then it'll be time for some paint! :WOOT

[Aid1987]

Got some new rubber this morning.

Thanks mate, very pleased with how it came out. Just need to keep it looking like that now.
