Frankly, the fun aspect is why I post at all lol

Always been a fan of fast and furious style stickers like hahaha. Thanks everyone for your input so far. I can't really afford the stillen lip... Not an original one anyway as the shipping and import fees etc kill me but I may well keep an eye open for a second hand one. What about a 99 spec front with the 99 spec lip on the bottom? I seen one of these that looked lovely imo on an 89 spec car. So, at present we have: Change the side markers to clear ones. Get rid of the letter writing on the tyres (I'll consider this pmsl). Change the front number plate (completely agree) Colour the moustache (completely agree if the 89 spec bumper remains) - this could be a quick hit anyway. In regards to the smoked repeated recommended by tony, I have some old UK blacks but I think I prefer the crystal clear ones tbh. What about the headlights (normal 89 spec)? I have toyed th the idea of colouring the inside of them black (same colour as the car). Or chrome. Alteenatively, I have some 99 spec replicas just sitting around (again, either black or chrome).

Might suit the skirts

I've been in the minds about a 99 spec for a long long time,miss just sitting in a garage. I did inanely agree on the moustache and again something I've been considering as the grey looks a little old. Then I think, should I do the wing mirror brackets too? I'm not too keen on the impul bumper though

Thanks graham, I only just re-did the lettering lol. I've been debating on the clear rear side markers, you you still illuminate them red?

:)

I'm wanting your ideas really on what might improve the looks of my car (externally). Generally, I think I looks pretty nice but as with everything, there's always more than can be done so I'm interested in what opinions people have. Please don't be shy, I certainly don't take offence if others are keen and all that. Here's a couple of pictures of the car:

So many little issues with these cars aren't they. Is there a way to check things like the MAF other than the reading on consult etc? It might just be a bit wet

I like the look of it

Have a good day mate

Good to see you posting mate. I hope everything's ok with your son

Pmsl... I thought that was possibly what you mean but... You know I'm dumb right

What do you mean? Or is something missing?

Thanks Andrew. The Greddy profec bspec 2 says 6mm piping. The turbos are Greddy TD05 16G with the Greddy/Trust external wastegates waste gates. The start of the manual for them is foreign but looks like its saying 8mm and that's certainly what's fitted which is why I had to use a reducer/expander thing. I'm just wondering whether the wastgates will be getting enough or the right pressure through the solenoid or whether it'll be hardly noticeable different etc

Sorry, maybe I just have been clearer here. The piping in the the solenoid of the boost controller is 6mm. It the comes out of the controller as 6mm and then changes up to 8mm before it reaches the external waste gates.

Mine are broken sadly. Pods are fine so just the holder bits please

Looking forward to seeing everyone

Get it stuck in properly or maybe worth cable tie it for now. It can come out while your driving fast and you're stuck in excellaration mode which is a little scary. It's happen to a few people on here including me.

Was it one of these 2? First one is Zelda and the second was a guy called jay so sadly passed away

Been trying to sort my boost controller lately but when doing so, I noticed the vac/boost piping that goes to the controller is 6mm but the piping that goes to the external wastegates is 8mm. So there's a reducer/expander in there. I'm just wondering if this matters at all or if it's too small to make much difference.

Happy birthday

I can't get away with the looks of that car, I think it looks a little odd. That being said, body styling can obviously be changed but the wide panels could be due to the arches going, plus if you weren't wanting to keep them, it would be a lot of work to change I think. In regards to the HPI thing, there's loads of databases that get used, such as dvla, experian etc and at a guess I'd think the HPI stuff would come from Experian, that's where most insurers get their details from rather than it being direct from the DVLA. Chances are, it's just been registered slightly wrong so I would let that put you off, but I would check the vin/chassis number matches the car and reg. Good luck if this is the one you go for mate

As an alternative to the normal thing above... I found this on mine

Welcome back buddy

I have the full fight on my iPad so will watch it at some point
