In the search for boost I've bought a new car

Most people know the car as its been in the club for years,
Jamie's (start) on the forum

Figured it's would be way cheaper to buy an already converted car, so I found out Jamie's was for sale and I bought it.
The conversion works 100 percent how it should, so props to Jamie and Scott!

Plan is to get this handling like my old car, (probably better)
And just do a general tidy up under the bonnet

Can you drive it on P's Wob?

Nice, I like this car.

[Cam.]

Sweet buy!

Just needs a ecu and some engineering. How long until you are on fulls?

[Robert]

Cheers guys

Nah can't drive it on p's just went for a sneaky drive


Ecu will wait, this has obd2 but not tuneable
Makes good power for the moment, haltech platinum sport on the cards in the very far future.

Engineering I might look into
But it's registered as a turbo car so I'm not concerned at the moment

About 5 months to blacks

[Matt]

[Morgan]

Congrats Wob. Always liked this car  

[Robert]

Installed some prova bonnet struts, they seem to be pushing the bonnet up so I need to do some adjusting by the looks

[Matt]

Whered you score them from?

I want some for the rs...but wanna test if the gc8 or gen2 ones will fit it

[Robert]

I got mine from import monster


But iirc Adrian has gc8 bonnet struts on his legacy but it's far from a bolt on job

can test fit one of mine if you like

It is a direct bolt on. But I moved mine a bit to make the bonnet open up to near vertical for a bit more room to work under

[Liberty]

Very nice buy man. Well done. I'm keen to see what you do with her.

[CRUISN]

Washer bottle doesn't fit into location because of IC pipe work..... That would annoy me.

 

Headlight lenses need polishing STAT!

 

Front bumper needs aligning with guard...

 

[Robert]

Ha ha

Going to have a crack at heating up the bottle to manuiplate it a bit, without remaking the piping i think that's going to be the easiest way!

I fear the headlights are too far gone, but I'll give it a go with my mini polisher
