So cheer myself up I got a few goodies I added a K-Tuned spark plug cover
K-Tuned Dip Stick
Also added a new Rocker cover (actually has a k-Tuned sticker on front but I'm keeping my USDM Intake cover on as prefer it to seeing a fuel rail)

Hi thanks for the comments
Had my evo9 rims for over 3 years and still love even more with the new paint.

Grin speed is up north mate and I'll probably have no clue on price yet as I'm not sure what I want in the box yet.

Cost of box build varies depending on what needs repairing and what needs upgrading and weather or not it's drop car off, or just drop box off

£260 syncros
£90 hardened hub
£100 new second gear
£135+vat for box on bench
£450-600 for LSD
Didn't get a price for dropping car off though

Just some rough prices I remember from when I did mine

Problem I'm having is gettingm an idea what to sell my car for I don't really want to go through the hassle of stripping bits off etc but no idea what to price it at as a complet car
