Made a visit to a friend with a lift to get the UEL headers fitted todayLooks like the box was made for the boot?!
Up on the ramps
Old headers
New headers
Comparison of the 2
Can start to hear the boxer engine burble, but until the cats are taken out, it's still a fairly quiet system. Cats should be out soon, just waiting on parts to arrive from the USABonnet dampers fitted
Makes the bonnet sit fairly high, but much better than the stupid prop thing
And finished the evening off with a well deserved clean, mandatory snowfoam picture

Well, well, well...what do we have here?
A box over 2 meters long! Containing:
5 Axis kit with TRD spoiler to get her looking like this:
Borla UEL headers
Bonnet dampers
Auto-fold side mirror module
Still waiting on alloys, couple more exhaust bits and the ultimate power mod to come

Keethos, I've done Go Ape and know exactly what you're on about. My groin was a bit worse for wear after that jump/swing!
The video doesn't really do it justice as to how far down I travelled, must have been a good 120ft before the bungee tightened and I was travelling back up to the sky. And then you're in freefall again for a few seconds, it's just a totally insane experience!
I'd love to do one over a river off a bridge, and see how close to the water you could get

Invidia Q300 catback exhaust fitted today, 1st big mod.Out with the old:
In the with new:
Sound hasn't changed too much, just a bit deeper. Waiting on all the other bits for the exhaust to get some real noiseAnd I got told that my wheels should be with me next week, about 2 weeks before I was expecting them!

They look great to be fair. Do it!
How much are they?
With shipping and import from The States, you're nudging near £500 a wheel
-
This is the picture that had me decide on them
Phew, none in purple, I'm still safe
ERRRRR purple is MY colour!

Some horrible things aren't cheap either....my ex for example!

Work CR Emotions? Already in talks with a supplier for a set of these for me
not cheap though! -
Picked this bad boy up tonight :dance:
Invidia Q300 catback, just waiting for the rest of the exhaust bits to turn up nowHad a 530mile round trip today, car loves a cruise on the motorway, not bad MPG either:
30miles to 3/4 tank so could easily get 450 from a tankAnd just a moody shot in the car park
Big thank you to Tom for the Invidia, top bloke! Pleasure meeting you today fella -

Boot light was done as well, just waiting on the interior lightPicking up the 1st proper mod on Thursday night -
Be rude not to seeing as you're round the corner I guess

After just 2 weeks of ownership, I can safely say this is the best car I have ever had...and I've had a few in my short 7 years of driving!
Picked her up with just 5,600miles on the clock and have already racked up nearly 800miles in just 2 weeks. Great fun getting around town and on twisty B roads, but also extremely comfortable and economical when I had to drive to Doncaster and back, over 450miles to 1 tank of fuel!
Few pictures of the day I got her:
And after a well deserved 3 hour TLC session today, love the colour in the sun!
Some big plans coming up, so watch this space! Whilst I won't ever tell what I'm getting until it's on the car (I like to be a bit different and therefore keeping you in suspense is more fun
) my list of mods so far:
Alloys (ordered)
Track alloys
Coilovers
Complete exhaust system from headers to backbox
New rear lights
Front lip, side skirts and rear spats
New boot spoiler
Supercharged
I'll be using a colour scheme I had on my Audi A3 a few years back. Again, it's different but I'm sure you'll see why soon enough
