I've now had Jack for 2 months or so now, and the ideas about what I want to do to him are starting to become clearer in my own head (although I'm never truely sure about what I want till I've done it )

So far, he's been treated to a TMC box, BMC air filter and dump valve filter thingy, and some nice red wing mirror covers

4 or 5 weeks ago I also treated him to some Eibach lowering springs from TMC, which were a decent improvement over standard. However, last week I managed to buy a Gaz adjustable kit from retro on here, which I fitted yesterday....now they are a huge improvement! Yes, they do chirp quite a bit from the back, but thats a small price to pay. As it stands, I'm still playing around with the settings, but what I do know is either the front is too low, or the back is too high. Not sure if I should refit the rear Eibach springs or just raise the front a bit, so any imput would be great

Hey quick work! Maybe swap the rear springs at the back and see if you prefer them? I probably had it a fraction higher at the front but looks racy. 

Cheers guys

I think it does need a little lowering on the back and raising slightly at the front....I shall sort that this weekend

As for the overall look, I like a clean style, so it's not likely to change much...certainly no stickers or anything of the sort. More likely to start removing the badges

As for the next steps, I've arranged to have the Novitec exhaust from Potter77's car when it goes back to TMC, and I've reserved one of the colour coded induction kits too, so they should both be on early next year. I'll be arranging to have my cherished number plate put on next week (any guesses what it is??   ), and I've bought a spare dash to have a go at carbon wrapping it....that could easily end in disaster  

After that, well, who knows!

You will love that exhaust it sounds the business I am sad to see it go but just can't help myself

With the induction kit and exhaust you won't need to worry about the settings on the radio

Potter77

He's looking forward to it

Car looks great, always nice to see them without stripes. Personally Id go for White mirrors as you havent got the Red stripes to tie into.

Sits nice, tad high at the back but some people like that look anyway at least it isnt as bad as mine on standard shocks springs with 16s lol must really do something about mine...

Great looking car

Cheers

I've put the eibachs back on the rear today, so its sitting about 10-15mm lower now....still not sure if its enough but I'll give it a few days to settle then maybe raise the front a little.

Induction kit arrived yesterday, fitted today, lovely!!

And finally managed to get the documents to the DVLA for the number plate transfer

White TMC/GTTuning induction kit looks great, would look great with turbo shield and battery cover in White

It does look sweet, and I love it! Never been one for 'blinging' up under the bonnet, but I think you might be right!

Ordered a new set of front springs from Gaz this morning...200lb and 9" as they recommended, and the dampers won't need re-valving . Can't complain at £70 delivered, but unfortunately they won't be able to ship them out till the new year now

Number plate on

Also bought a cheap ass Abarth badge on ebay to put on the engine cover....actually not bad quality for £4
