far from standard lol, its got a GT3076R running 470bhp

looks like its got potential mate

What steering wheel have you got? I may be interested in a swap for my 350mm momo corse, Im only small so I prefere a smaller wheel.

Welcome back Beau, where did you get this one from?

New beautiful car!

Welcome back seen this for sale should be a animal.Wanna sell your plug cover ?

Saw that on ebay. Good price you got it for considering spec, theres definitely a few things i would change if i owned it and no1 would be the steering wheel lol.

this is the steering wheel, is very small, like a go-kart sort of size!



thanks for the offer but i actually already have a momo corse wheel from my last pulsar! so il be swapping this over onto it.

i got it from Birmingham! they all seem to come from there lol

im not going to sell the plug cover lol :p

first job was to remove the illegal window tints! i dont fancy getting any points on my licence for such a useless modification !

Ahh no worrys mate, Yep it is abit small that lol

I know that car very well beau
have you checked out the alignment on that car as before the guy owned it in brum it belonged to a guy called dave from enfield. we carried out a lot of work to the engine etc but the car had had a wallop in the past and the driver wheel was sitting an inch further back than the passenger side.
the guy (dave) had just had the car painted aswell but never bothered about the alignment (don't think he even noticed it until I showed him on the lift) think he ended up chaining it to a post and reversed it to try pull the thing back again then he whacked it up for sale where the lad from brum bought it.
I picked some stuff up from him last year (nice fella) but the driver wing was still poking out near the door and the wheel still was out of line despite it looking better than it had done when it was at ours.

check it out as the handling at speed in it was awfull

If you zoom in on second pic you can still see where the wings jutting out

Bob I spoke to you about a month ago about it, clearly worse than me for remembering things :p

But yeah after speaking to you, I set back my original collection date and done more investigating before viewing, I had a good look over it, I don't think it's been bent at all, just suspension damage which has been fixed, but yeah the wing is still out but it doesn't seem to be bolted on correctly, I'm happy with it

There is no damage behind wing, il try sort fitment of that tomorrow

Sorry can't remember beau but someone else asked about it recently so I told him and he said ok thanks for the info il leave it

We tried swapping all suspension parts to see if it was those but was still the same so must be front outriggers or turrets out of alignment but then he tied it to a post and reversed up to pull it back a bit.

Other than that it's alright beau and as long as your pleased that's the main thing, just be carefull with it especially in the wet as it under steers really bad. Think the other guy from brum only used to use it at the pod where it doesn't really matter to much

Well i will get it double checked, I want it right, not like I'm shy of spending money on them :p

Remind me to poke you in the eyes before you look around mine Bob as I don't want you looking around it too close lol

Lol I don't normally pay that much attention but that car just stuck in my mind as the guy wanted so much done to it, had it all painted and so forth but neglected the bit that really mattered.
He sold it just after the riots in London a couple years or so back, I remember that as he wanted me to deliver the car back to him as he was worried about it getting smashed up by loads of nutters roaming the streets.
So I went down there with Craig who worked for me at the time and we were both tooled up just in case they tried to rob the car from us lol

managed to find and fit my steering wheel today:



just need to find the center cap!

this is the engine bay now, minus the manifold/waste gate, getting a crack on the waste gate welded up!

did you take it to my mate to get welded beau?

yeah the guy you said is doing it :)i just gave it to my neighbour (who owns bikewise) and knows him very well and he sorted it all out  

what an absolute pain it was getting the manifold out! JUST managed to squeeze it out off the studs between the turbo

i spoke to previous owner, said its painted audi ibis white too

got the car out today (not on the road) just out of where its kept

got the engine bay all back together
had the front bumper fitted
cleaned it!

thats about it really, it took me for ever doing the manifold! mission lol

not sure what to do about the exhaust, its 3" pipe from turbo to back, no boxes or anything, its seriously loud, is fitting a silencer going to restrict it at all?
