alwayssideways Posted June 17, 2007 Report Posted June 17, 2007 I've had it a year - finally got it MOT'd, taxed and insured a couple of weeks ago so I thought I'd post a couple of pics and the updated spec. Would've done it earlier but been enjoying driving it too much Stage 3 heads, enlarged throttle body, magnex exhaust, K&N with drilled airbox. Drilled, grooved discs with green stuff pads. Braided brake hoses and poly bushed throughout. Interior is fairly stock, Mk2 dash & clocks. RS wheel. The paint needs a bit of work here and there, but cleans up ok. Next mods will be suspension, anti dive kit and maybe a cam. I'll probably fit a 4spd box as the type 9 is a bit notchy (as theres one in the garage) ! I've got a turbo technics kit in the garage too but that'll be a winter project if it ever happens! Hope you like it, Cheers!!
Gareth Posted June 18, 2007 Report Posted June 18, 2007 Nice If you defo wanna get rid of the 5 speed, Lemme know

alwayssideways Posted June 18, 2007 Author Report Posted June 18, 2007 ...nice one bud....I think my car was actually on the road when you got that !! You could be right, I aquired it over a year ago! You know how it is, I wanted to spend money on sensible things like MOT's, Insurance etc....... but things like loud exhausts and go-faster bits kept coming my way...... I couldnt resist Its great to be back on the road in an OSF! I'll have to start coming to a few shows & meets again. Caprifan, are you still carbing your capri?
Capripete Posted June 19, 2007 Report Posted June 19, 2007 Looking good, remember when you first got it, seems ages ago.
alwayssideways Posted June 19, 2007 Author Report Posted June 19, 2007 Thanks for the comments! Should be getting my compomotives on it soon, I'll probably lower it an inch at the same time. Updated pics to follow. I must admit, it looks a bit better in the photos than it does in the metal. But Im happy with it........... For now
yorkester Posted June 20, 2007 Report Posted June 20, 2007 nice one fella, i've got magnex on mine. they sound awesome. Does drilling the airbox make it even louder and is it worth any power gain
ian2800 Posted June 21, 2007 Report Posted June 21, 2007 Looks nice and straight mate, always fancied one in lacquer red
alwayssideways Posted June 23, 2007 Author Report Posted June 23, 2007 nice one fella, i've got magnex on mine. they sound awesome. Does drilling the airbox make it even louder and is it worth any power gain Drilling the airbox does give a nice induction roar!! But I dont think it makes much in the way of extra BHP - it does seem to give a little bit more of low down punch though............. or could just be my imagination
