Thanks as always mate! You been on here long? Glad to have yours back all sorted? smile

Just a quick update, I ended up doing a 6 hour round trip to pick up the Enkei's on Sunday and test fitted them today.

I have big plans for the wheels and they need a lot of work but should look amazing once done!

I'm well on that mate, have you booked the session already? It's about a 2 hour drive for me but I don't work Monday's so could work smile

A quick update about the wheels. They are now on and the car is setup how I want it, they do look better in person so hope the pictures capture it ok smile

The tyres are unreal compared to the Toyo's, it's going to take some getting used to but really enjoying them so far.

I had the tracking done today as it was way out and pulling to the left, also painted my calipers soft silver as the gold on gold wasn't a good look.

I need a new steering gator as I noticed mine has a small tear but will replace that shortly!

Thank you, appreciated! I went with Maya Gold Volvo 451, it's the closest colour to the OEM Enkei Gold that I could find from looking online smile

Good choice of car to hunt for! It is at the moment, but I have access to a Jazz and Yaris that I will most likely use over Winter and garage the Teg this year. But I have been using it all year round for about 3 years with no issues other than my own OCD making sure it's clean and it doesn't get damaged.

Mechanical wise, it has just needed a service at the correct time and that's it!

If you have any questions before you buy just let me know mate smile

I took a few pictures after a show with a friend on Sunday,

I will have another one day - and i will never ever sell it.

haha Do it! You won't regret it smile

Just a quick update about the car, it's now off the road and I have a little 1.0 Yaris to travel around in over winter!

I have managed to pick up a Gen2 Mugen intake from Hoho (Thanks again mate!) and started cleaning up the OEM intake and buying the bolts ect so I can install it tomorrow.

I'll let the pictures do the talking but I should have a MK1 AEM long arm intake up for sale soon!

Thanks a lot for the comments guys! smile

No real updates for the car, other than it's off the road for winter and tucked up under a car cover on my drive smile The only down side is I am using a 1.0ltr Yaris for the daily duties haha

I'll also be going Nurburgring from the 4th to the 10th of June this year, which I can't wait for!

I will be joining the Audi sport forum for a rolling road in April at AMD performance.

Looking to get a new manifold before the rolling road and was thinking the Tegiwa Toda rep? Any opinions from people who have switched from a 96spec manifold?

Also, two random pictures I took last year that I liked smile

Your car looks fantastic OP,

Just picked up my DC2 and I hate to say it but in terms of looks yours is basically where I want to get mine... Amber indicators, nice wheels, and clean.

You have excellent taste!
