So now I remember why I **** car shows, there is always a panic coming up to them to sort the stupid stuff on your car. So I got out the boss kit I bought Estie (cheers mate) and went about fitting it and the Sparco wheel that I got off Mark. Wheel looks a bit grubby but its just the gay flash.
Next was the rear suspension, car was too low, lower than the front in fact so I decided to raise it slightly, Coilovers needed a good clean anyways and the perch rings weren’t as free as I would like along with some paint chips and marks. I got on Dave in Japanese Performance (The lad who seems to get most of my free cash at this stage :p) and ordered some nice new purple perch rings from HKS Europe, got them and they worked a treat, happy days, gave the Coilovers a clean adjust the height, although the new height makes the baby jesus cry
Next came the wheels, there was a little bit of over spray on the dish which made them a bit dull so out with the peak for the dish and G3 for the centre’s, not a major difference but it did brighten the one on the right up slightly compared to the left. Next was to throw on some decals I got from ‘The Stinky Rings’ to break the red and I can finally show you a better pic of the colour, I still have to put the red ones on the dish but all in good time, as in tomorrow LoL. Finally got onto CJT Motorsport in Ennis and got some Grayston wheels nuts, €75 for the bloody things but they do look well on the car.
Gonna regret putting the car up for sale but its time to move onto something else.
So I just got the car back together at 3am on Sunday morning with a sigh of relief, jumped into bed for a well deserved 2hr nap and up at 5am to be on the road for 6am to head to Japfest in Mondello Park.
Big thanks to The Stinky Rings for sorting my Works stickers for the wheels in time
Got up to Mondello and of course it was pissing rain...
I was up representing tezzaworld.com on the day, sound bunch and great to meet them in person, the below pic's were taken by Banan1984 from the site and I have to say a big thanks to him cause I think he captured the car better than I have to date. Also Team Chihuahua was there is force showing there support, excuse the dopey pic of me with the car but we all had to do it for the site...
