    Found a business card under the rear seat base while removing excess crap last week that i think could be the original seller of the car (or at least serviced it)

    What can i say apart from a to S P A.........again

    Andy kindly sorted out my fubar'd manifold stubs - 4 of the buggers and the car now feels completely different. Much better on acceleration pickup and weirdly doesnt seem to be hunting for gears around 40-45mph - must have settled the revs or something.

    Happily did 1/2 tank on the way home (about 60 miles)

    Due to the standard stereo being knackered when i got it i was left without tuneage for a few weeks

    Thats now all changed, thanks to Delboy for sorting us out some speakers :thumbs:

    2 sets of these in the doors but without the grills


    and a pair of these





    Going to paint the woodwork a dark grey and cover the top in a dark grey acoustic carpet - stealth shelf style to hide the 6x9's

    I like what you have done with the 6x9's, just a shame you have now lost the rear seat reclining ability... Most welcome feature on long journey.

    Are front and rear doors not both 13cm ??

    the standard door speakers have been replaced with 6.5" speakers fitted to the standard plastic rings but with a little strategic trimming

    As for the loss of rear seat recline-ability - i sit in the front so it makes no difference to me but if i like someone enough the whole lot only weighs about 10kg so can be moved easily

    Cheers, its getting there slowly. Arb's will be ordered at the end of the month too just to really tighten the car up.

    oh, original skirts and rear lip this way please

    What kit did you go for in the end?

    First mod I have in mind is brakes and suspension!! I always improve handling and stopping before going for power!! Just my style of modding.. until I am happy with these two departments do I start improving power..

    Those Do-Luck lines look gorgeous!! Going to save up and get some braided lines and Brembos!

    The brembos are a very good upgrade but just remember to add in the cost of sleeving the caliper bolts.
