Got rid of some bling... - 18inch wheels have gone, for me it has a more classic look now, and handles better. - Aftermarket small steering wheel has gone (purely because the lack of power steeing) - Dual gauge pod has gone Also plumbed the blow off valve back in, this actually made no difference to the sound, that i was expecting. Still quite aware its a turbo, might as well be sitting the the passenger seat with me ;p I will be changing the ride height eventually, the roads i like are narrow and twisty, which usually mean bumps. Sitting that low it just doesnt like bumps! I also think there is a dodgy bushing at the front, will need to raise it up and have a good look. It is that dark emerald green pearl...it was an overcast day.

Some new bits and old bits. Very happy to find a gen3 airbox. Looks to be a good design especially with how the blow off valve air enters back into the main flow. I can see this being much quieter than the pod, its massive though!

How to enjoy a couple of days off work... one rear strut left. Was expecting it to be a bit harder, but all the bolts were easy to remove. Pretty sure the odometer is correct, as nothing pointing to high mileage, pretty clean underneath. Everything looks good, except for the driveshaft boots closest to the gearbox, both sides torn in the exact same spot (another thing to do ;p). The front strut links were torn too but the suspension comes with new ones. The struts have one elongated hole each for camber adjustment. I am tightening them up with the max camber possible, interesting to see what camber it ends up with. Will be close to standard ride height, i am aiming for 340mm all around, i had 300mm before. Question, if i post up a couple of pics of the gearbox (angled from underneath and wheel arch), can anyone recognise the model by just looking at the pictures? Whether a S54 or E153? Any idea what brand green brake pads would be?
