Nice to meet you today Steve, and see this car again though in a lot more detail.

Hope the new button brings broader smiles and more enjoyment

been a busy few days, had new set of plugs and 3" downpipe fitted on saturday at CAMS before Andrew C fitted and mapped Alcatek with switchable maps and mafless.

Nankang NS2r's arrived yesterday so had them fitted in the afternoon and its been for an MOT this morning and passed with flying colours.

Garage owner commenting on what a clean and original model it is

Car runs a lot better than before, a lot smoother if that makes sense and the fun switch certainly works.







just need to get my springs fitted and then thats it, nothing else.

Looking very good Stevo. I've just gone ESL but not had time to start mapping yet.
I know you're running 16" wheels,what size did you go for on the NS2R's?
I've just bought some but not fitted yet,I went for 205/55's as they don't do 50 profile.
You will have to let us know what they're like as I read some good reviews on them.

Hi mate,

i went for the same size, 55's as i think 45's would have been too thin especially on a 16" wheel.

look a lot bigger then the 50's that were on it but made the right choice.

Nice looking ra that, great work pal. Another one rocking the 16's. Classics fell alive in 16ich wheels. I agree with you on the 45 profile, they may look a little lost in the arches. I opted for 225/50/16 ad08r on my RA

Gave the old girl a good going over clay bar and machine polish, backs rasping, crap phone pics don't really show all my hard work






also got rid of the aged on stains from over the years on the edges




Cheers!

I love your car, but please don't put those wheels on! This is coming from a place of love...

Get a second set of 16's

I like the silver wheels on it, refreshing in a way. Looks clean
