FULLY FORGED - New pics of the car (page36) + 1/4 mile times

[Gullzter]

Cheers buddy, nothing really big on aero this year tbh, just a change of some panels as I want to enjoy the car over the next 3/4months, I've got a couple of options which will be seen within a couple of weeks hopefully. The real aero side will probably be next year if I take things a bit more seriously with the car

[Gullzter]

Oil change and coolant done, this time drained the block as I learnt over winter if you don't drain the lock it doesn't fully drain the system, took me another 5litres from last year so done right this time















Amazing what a magnetic plug finds

[Dale_V]

Are you not concerned about the swarf? Thats if it was found within the engine and not just a sweep of the garage floor

[Gullzter]

Not really, It was in the radiator but I know why it has happened and was expecting it hence doing another coolant change less than 1000miles later

[Dale_V]

Fair dos, explains all as I've never thought about a metallic plug in the cooling system

[Magic Beans]

She's looking good. Really interested to see the end results

[Gullzter]

Thanks buddy, me too.. hope I like it

New addition, I didn't even see this coming myself but HAD to have it!!

[Gullzter]

Picked my wheels up yesterday fresh from powder coaters, looking amazing I think

[Magic Beans]

Oh my!!

[mister two]

Nice.... I do like black lips rather than polished

Did you take them to the wheel specialist?

[Gullzter]

No it was The Wheel Station, use them all the time.
I had considered black lips but really want polished tbh, lips should be here before the weekend

[mister two]

Oh I thought they were the lips. As much as I like black lips I think polished will suit red better

[Gullzter]

They would be some epic lips if they were the lips

[mister two]

They do look a bit skinny when I zoom in lol

[Gullzter]

Haha give it some time and we shall see the lips

[Gullzter]

Another new addition, probably won't run it this year but will try it out for a day at least

[Magic Beans]

I loved my old one.

Visibility is horrible, they like to blow over if you don't have them flat, marking the paint and they leaves marks on your rear surround. Other than that though they're brilliant

[Gullzter]

Not too bothered about that, got a spare surround so I'll just paint that up
Just got to fit a few bits then decide whether to paint it black or red

[Magic Beans]

Depends on your aesthetic goals for the car. Might look mean with the red nicely polished and then a few black accent bits. Means you can add carbon bits without them standing out too

[Martin F]

Just red in my opinion, black is going against the colour of the car and giving that boy racer modified non standrd look, if you know what i mean.

p.s. this lid does wonders for helping with cooling, imagine trying to cook a chicken with the oven door open
