No great update, constantly cleaning the wheels, they get dirty so easily, i knew i shouldve gone black

but shes now had a friend do some talking to her ecu, and remap it, as well as now running a set of 135 cams

Should be ordering a full roll cage for it soon too :thumsup: which i guess will keep me busy for a few days

Polybushed the rear swinging arm things, fitted some polyurethane anti roll bar and tiebar bushes too and fitted a front strutbrace feels a bit tighter now. Need to get a set of mgzr shock absorbers and springs from the scrapyard when im next there, should stiffen it up a bit and drop it about 30mm.

Next to the M20 by the looks of it, were you meant to be there? haha I like seeing cars that are absolutely filthy like that, it just looks like the owner has been having a lot of fun

Got a set of mgzr shocks and springs fitted yesterday. Its a bit stiffer, and barely has any body roll now, and sits a tad lower , in my opinion it sits far better and more even now currently waiting for some dry roads, but it already feels a lot better in corners

Been getting annoyed with the slats in the grill, so today, i looked at my spare bit of lower grill mesh, looked at the grill, then the angle grinder and heres the end result, i like it, but the mesh doesn fit right in a few places, which means ill have to buy a sheet kf it somewhere to do it properly.

Then ive got to decide what i actually want to do with it, to do the endurance rallying i want to do itll have to stay 1.4, amd im limited to how much i can strip it down. Unless i do stage rallying, which costs a bit more, but id be able to strip it right out and fit a bigger engine. Or drop the vvc160 in it and trackday it, but i find trackdays boring now.
