Looking good Steve, IMO just need to get rid of those nasty Fox Alloys and get a decent set to finish the look right off.

 

Looking forward to seeing you at the shows this year.

Spec'ed to the max!!! That's C going to fly.

 

Nice car Steve, in my favourite colour too.

[samm_cvr6 0]

yea, bet she flies! and there was my boss today banging on about how his nissan primera "flies" lol. I didn't want to look like a cnut and say "yea but my VR is much quicker" so just zipped it. So you going to go to the Pod Steve?

New alloys are definitely on the cards. I've found some that I like & I'm gonna have them re-finished in black - to match the rest of the car .. :D

[samm_cvr6 0]

Slots A8 alloys look pretty cool although I haven't seen them in the flesh on a C yet.

[stevemac 0]

I quite like JBOB's wheels - a set of those should look good on mine (painted black)

i was gonna say u need some compomotive 5 spokes (i think MO) in white or even painted shiny black

[stevemac 0]

Yeah - I think shiny black would look great. Maybe the end of the summer before I get them fitted though - kind of running out of cash at the mo .. :(

[Rustynuts 0]

I reckon black wheel centres with a polished rim would be the best option on your motor.

 

Looks sweet by the way, black would have been my prefered colour had i not gone for my new one.

[Furkz 0]

steve u need in jus before summer,,,,,unfortunately i totally understand the cash prob thing,,,bugger

sweet spec and motor.. and sexy looking grille you have their 8)

[chargedupstorm 0]

Steve, you going to have it all back together prior to Le Mans?

 

I was hoping to change the box, add an LSD etc. But I'm considering driving over to Wothersee now too, so this 'idea' may change somewhat.

Beat me to it, exactly what i was gonna ask.

[stevemac 0]

Hoping to have the car back on the road during April. :D

 

I got some more of my engine built back together this weekend. Can't do too much more until my new intercooler & pipework arrive. :?

 

Definitely back on the road & re-mapped before LeMans. 8)

Nasty looking crankcase needs a good clean & de-coke

[RACK 0]

What's the best way to de-coke?
