love this car! my old manifold still looks the tits in that bay, glad its being put to some seriously good use

terry it still gets plenty of attention mate when I lift the bonnet

fitting the gearbox tomorrow, and giving it a try out at Crail raceway at the Performance Ford day in a couple of weeks time. ill give it a wee go on th e1/4 mile and see what times it does. Best time last time there was 14. 3 secs at 94 mph

Fitted the gearbox on Thursday afternoon, took roughly 4 hours, so all ready for the next event











Emlyn not really into 1/4 mile so aint quite sure, if its a little quicker , then Id be happy, but they have a good handling circuit up there , and I normally take our club members out for a wee blast round the figure of 8 circuit, good fun, and I love scaring the crap out of people who aint been in the car before, its surprises a few people

thanks for all the comments guys , much appreciated

So Ive decided to do something with the colour scheme of the car this year, as well as all the mechanical mods

So Ive changed the colour of the bumpers, and finally decided on the design for the new graphoix for the car. Im keeping the flags on the side, and adding some more graphix on the car. should maybe have them on the car by Wednesday , Ill post the pics up when complete

heres the pics of the bumpers white

you ask me m8 i think it has paid off.
are you going to keep the green flag decals on i think you should they look right at home with the white
but i am sure what ever you do to it i will be watering at the mouth.

the st170 setup look's fun.
also do you run a bigger size rim on the rear as in the pics the rear wheel looks bigger than the frunt. and if so wot are the advantiges of this

_________________

Its 15s on the back too, but I think its cos the rear coilovers are sitting too high mate, came of a road car , and ive no weight in the rear of my car. tried to lower them today, but surprise surprise, theyre seized solid, so theyre going to AVO for a refurb , and Ill refit the KONIs back on for the weekend

the green flags are staying, theyll go with the new graphix hopefully,

thats the graphix being fitted right this very second, hopefully have it finsihed today
