rolled the car out of the garage today just to fit the strut brace! i had to bolt the throttle butterfly on the lower bolt so it cleared but all seems well!
however i couldnt bolt the brace down as the bolts i have on mine dont fit in the acs brace mounts but will get that sorted
and also refitted the carbon viper induction kit its pretty tight but it fitted however it needs a new hose as the old one is wrecked!







as always any comments good or bad are welcomed!

well gave the car a good spruce for gaydon and then didnt go after a finding out how bad the inner edge of my rear tyre were this morning
but thought i'd put a few pics up anyway! before it went back in the garage until new tyres are fitted!









even spruced up the engine bay as i knew a few wanted to have a look!







the pics are from a crap diggi cam and i was hoping i'd of had some pics taken by people that knew what they were doing with a camera today!

contemplating this as my next mod as i've been looking at gauges to monitor a few things and this seems to tick all the boxes without having gauges everywhere

took the car to get 4 wheel aligned as the inside edge of my front tyres are rapidly wearing only to find the tie rods had seized and wouldnt budge even with heat so got some new meyle ones



and also now the standard manifold has gone i'm hoping the 6 pot strut brace will fit
and a member on another forum was breaking his car so i bought a carbon acs brace from him





just hope it fits now!

not really an update but my battery hasnt been holding its charge recently and i've looked a dick having to ask people to give me a jump! so this week id done the current test and sure enough no charge!

after checking the back of the alternator and tigtening the connections still no joy! so i was worried the supercharger had melted the wires underneath it or something
so this afternoon i removed the supercharger (only took me half hour now i know what i'm doing) and found that the bolt that hold the coonection at the bottom of the starter motor had came off so the wire was just dangling!
so everything was tightened and re fitted and now everything is back to being 100% and i'm chuffed i didnt have to buy a new alternator!

still trying to convince the mrs to upload her vids she filmed while i was driving but her screams almost drown out the charger! so i'll try and post them later!

had a few pms on another forum about how the supercharger has altered my insurance premium! so thought i'd post it up for anyone that might be considering it!
i've paid an extra £188 and thats with adrian flux!
