Hello chaps, coming from an E92 m3 but have had a few s2000s, e46 m3, 300bh octavia, few civics, dc5, mx5 in the past. Always wanted one of these, prefer the looks over the lotus counterpart. Said id sit on the money from my car but it lasted 48 hours before id purchased this...

 

 

Liverpool to Exmouth and back via Cheddar Gorge and surrounding road in the day, tired now! 

Came with a few bits on - ATS wheels, rear diffuser, carbon spoiler, hardtop, exhaust and a couple of other bits.

 

Plans are to get it tidied up to my standard. Its already on AD08R tyres which is good as it should see a few trackdays. Handles well but needs an injection of power (its the 2.2 na currently) so a supercharger will probably be on the cards early next year if i can wait that long...

There was a factory metallic green, called "Le Mans Green".  The flat green was called "British Racing Green".

Ticked a few jobs off today. 

 

Swapped out smallest ITG filter i've ever seen for standard air box. Discovered some vibratechnics mounts on my travels.

 

 

Pulled seats out, cleaned them down, hoovered tub (found a baby bell under the seat... looked older than me....did not eat it....) and gave it a wash.

thanks mate, ordered a load of spare plastic fixings as mine have gone wandering...some normal length black wheel nuts to do away with rear spacers. Touch up pen to touch a few little bits up short term. Going to book on either anglesey or oulton soon too.
