Yeah I agree you'll have to go with the pea shooter and get a venetian for the back window. Very cool.

They will definately be going into my 4 door.Realisticly,the next job on this car is to move the front xmember back to correct the front end geometry[%].Then probably the rear wheel arch work to accomodate the 17x10's[:p]

It looks that way....there is a family resemblanceI have had plenty of people ask me for the name of the colour over the last 7 or 8 years....this may be the first car I have seen with the colour on...or it could just be a strong coincidence[:p][%][;^)]

I had my first taste of launch control last nightI was playing with the settings and trying various things out[:p]Bloody Awsome[%]It sounds crazy(very much like antilag)and the acceleration on only street tyres is sensational[:p]Cant wait to get the traction control happening....that will be amazing

Hi Phil, great timing with the handbrake pic..

I'm having issues with mine at this very moment and ive already spotted an error on my behalf... I noticed that you have the line coming from the pedal box going to the rear outlet on the m/c and the line going to the rear brakes coming from the front outlet on the m/c... Is this the only way it can be ??

As I have mine the other wayt around [:o)][:o)] I'm sure I asked somebody about it when i originally fitted it (a year ago) ... But its not working for me [:-(][88]

Yeah i do.. Ive got the original handbrake with the m/c mounted to the rear on a bracket.. so i can hook up a cable if need be.. as I'm not sure if my 'mod plater' will let me through without a cable setup as yet.

Who makes custom handbrake cables ?? As you would have got one made originally right ?

Thanks.

By the way, your latest mods are looking great

The high tech autronic sounds like a hardcore bit of gear.. do you just have a laptop plugged in when you are playing with the settings ?

It will be a few years until i will be looking into fitting an aftermarket ecu.. but my time will come [:x)]

In the meantime i will sit here and continue to be jealous [:u][^]
