thank you for the kind comments buddy, i have people all round me telling me to get rid of the ambers

i did love my RS7's

yeah im starting to like the moodiness with the black RL'S NOT STILL NOT 100% sure if they suit the car or not?

got any pics of your mates old saph?

i shall update this after my mot on friday

Keep the ambers mate looks wicked with them all round! would be perfect with another set of RS7's

I have got plenty of pics of mates Sapph yeah but none with the RL7's unfortunately. they were only put on few weeks before the car was sold.

Look forward to your next update

It was a clean one yeah. Stage 3 Rwd. it was immense to drive

They are going up in value that's for certain. Saw a set go for just over £1200 recently

I like the ambers lol

right then time for an update

i havent really driven the saph much since FITP as i was trying to get bits sorted for its mot which was on friday (31st of may)

anywhoooo.. first things first

ive bought myself some new cam seals as i have a slight leak from mine and some brand new uprated engine mounts

the weekend that alex and i were stripping his saph mine was also down to have a mot pre check


by , on Flickr

how it was left for a few nights ( little dirty due to the rain we had the day i went down)


by , on Flickr

after the check over was done, this happened, i stripped some bits off it again


by , on Flickr

alt bracket and PAS brackets were all taken off again and re-shot blasted thanks to alex for that


by , on Flickr

as some will know ive been planning on changing the colour scheme of the engine bay for some time now and its finally starting to happen, behold the colour of champions ( same colour my si's block and EFI lettering was painted ) Kawasaki Green


by , on Flickr

the shot blasted parts were then painted in said green.. i know the colour wont be to everyones taste, but im bored of seeing blue, red, black hoses

awesome update

looked spot on yesterday and went like shit of a shovel

do you see my car onthe gopro footage yesterday

Good times, all looking good Terry.

Surely you've replaced every component of the car now? It's constantly getting new bits!

_________________

Good times. The more you replace the more reliable it should be hopefully lol but even so as its over a long period of time you'll end up using those parts and it'll be a big circle, Main thing is your enjoying it!

Good luck with the MOT

thats the thing im doing this to make it the best i can with the money i have, i aint rich so shit gets done as and when i have some wedge!

PS. it passed it MOT on late friday/Sat
