A couple more pictures of my car, I've removed the standard dampers and bought a pair of C2 vts dampers which have made it better handling, and were very cheap.

Right a small update seeing as I haven't been very good with this. I've done several thousand more miles in the car including lots to goodwood which I treat as my second home now (I'm sure lord march doesn't mind) hehe

I've got a few more pictures of the car:



After a nice wash




And this is one of my favourite pictures of my car on a Hindhead tunnel run which was very cool except when the TVRs nearly destroyed my ear drums! smile this photo is thanks to mr Waugh.



And as some of you guys may of noticed, if you didn't see the bad parking thread, is that the spoiler is now gone forever. I have a new vts one to put on but I have been waiting since march just for a pair of screws for the bloody thing! If I don't see them soon, some frenchys (probably the right term) will die. shoot

Wasn't that after a recent Sunday Service? Then Tom took a picture of your perfect parking. hehe

Isn't that Johnny5 MX-5 next to Tom's Pug?

I'd leave it spoilerless. Looks much better.

Nice isn't it.

James, what are you doing about wheels/trims? I'm 100% sure there are some other type of trim that looks cooler..

im not sure yet, im not sure how long im keeping the car for but i am looking at a nice set of team dynamics 1.2 or standard loeb wheels, but they are very hard to get.

Here's a couple of photos from when I went to watch a bit of revival testing, I'll upload some tomorrow of what it looks like with the proper spoiler, its done nearly 26,000 miles and is still going fine after I had to replace a wheel bearing and a new truss rod end.





It didn't look too bad for a 35 mile blast down to goodwood. smile

Not sure, I'm pretty sure that's what they said. Hopefully I'm not confusing it with a guitars truss rod. hehe

Track Rod End tongue out

Get that spoiler on there, and some nice wheels.. Even VTR/S wheels.

I was just about to say track rod end. I would like to find some nice alloys. The spoiler is already on but these are from late last year.

Just a crappy iPhone image of the rear spoiler and a nice little present someone left me along the whole length of the car. frown

Sorry to see about the keying, absolute scumbags.

I like a nice c2, was debating them for my second car but got the Vauxhall bug.

What's the story with the plate (may have been mentioned - only skimmed over the replies at work) - it must be worth a decent amount?

Well the plate was my parents that they gave to me, it stands for David and Denise Dixon (my parents) and their birthdays were on the 7th and 10th hence 17, coincidentally I was born on the 17th. smile

I'm not 100% sure on the price but DDD14 is for sale at £700, DDD18 was up for £7000 and a few different people have told me it wouldn't surprise them if my plate sold for £10,000-£20,000 so I'm not really sure of its value.
