Pretty stock really just a few little touches nice and simple haven't really got around to modding it just needs abit of paint work done and engine cleaning and tidying it other than that i love it and runs spot on there's a few little issues atm with my brakes think the master cylinder has had it!


when i first picked the motor up in scotland


1st Windscreen Wipers Decided To Be Stupid and kept lifting up to far when doing 70mph+ and on the way to bristol to get my rims the wiper flew off and scratch my sill no happy!!!


Decided to buy some winter wheels but wasn't keen after the fitting


Then i bought some wilwoods cheap from a friend fitted them but had issues with the caliper and the disc not being big enough but couldn't use bigger discs as they wouldn't fit under my wheels and didn't want to change them


I have recently bought a 1'' master cylinder [[But yet to fit]


Then my new discs arrived


Then These


Engine was a bit tappety so decided to go to my mates so we could get on with adjusting them it seemed to do the trick as the engine is a lot quieter now



So had the mot coming up thought all would be well but it failed on trailing arm bushes so thats why i bought the energy bushes



we had a problem tho as we tried to undo the hub bolt it snapped the head clean off so we spent hours
drilling it out Finally got it off to rush to get my mot done




after that nightmare was over the mot tester said my rear driver side caliper spring for the handbrake was really stiff so i had to take it all off and try and un-seize it





This has all been done over the last 8 months since i've had it theres still loads to do but all in good time
don't really have any plans other than these

Paint Front Bumper & Roof
Clean Engine Bay
Paint Rocker Cover
Silicone Rear Lights As I Get A Drip Of Water In The Boot Sometimes
Re-Underseal The Car

Heres A Few Pictures For You Enjoy










Just a little picture from the Flood street meet now [JDMC]





Things Still To Do

Refurb headlights
Paint Front Bumper
Paint Roof
Re-Underseal
Re-Lacquer Mirrors
Paint Spoiler
Re-Powder Coat Wheels [Centre Part]
Weld Manifold
Full Service

Not Alot !

Update ++++++

I've painted the rocker cover now not the best job as i ran out of paint but looks far better now also painted my wipers took a few shots the weekend as well

also need to get my alternator belt changed as its fraying badly
still loads to do tho







Been messing around with my camera recently still learning with it so decided to get some rolling shots of my EF9 i was brave and let my mate do some fly byes whilst i was shooting these are not that good its my first attempt at moving shots they will get better i assure you these shots were done at him doing around 25 Mph

any advice would be appreciated

Enjoy!
