That's beautiful, as are those roads (Elan Valley as I can see from the pic names).

Yeah unfortunatly, its a bugger to start when its warm so i carried out the puff test
and the front rotor housing is down on compression. Its nothing to bad really im getting the
rebuild kit sent over from Pinapple in the states.

Cocopop,

Do like the FD's in black, how comes yours needs a litle work?

Vixpy,

Cool!, whats the spec if you dont mind me asking?....i've got a soft spot for the Turbo two cabs

It's a Scoot carbon bonnet mate, last thing i bought for it!
U rebuilding the engine yourself?
It's no where near as complex as people think, i've built a few myself now (including mine twice) infact i've got one parked outside my house now that i've just rebuilt!

Black's the fastest colour... *awaits flaming*

It's nothing major, it was rebuilt by Rotechniks a few months back, so mechanically it's pretty sweet, but once you start changing bits you can't stop!

I've got a load of new dash bits on the way from Japland.
Needs new coilovers, which hopefully should be done tomorrow.
I'm after a Racing Beat back box to replace the HKS rocket launcher I've got on at the moment, then refit the straight through mid pipe.
At some point I want to get a new front bumper, ideally the '99 spec one. And like Lum90's a few posts up, I'm tempted to have the spoiler/rear wiper/aerial removed and smoothed over, I just love that line of a spoilerless FD!
And the gear syncros need replacing, and as the clutch is on the way out, that too.
And at some point I'm going to start cleaning up the engine bay.

And the little bits that need fixing...
The tachometer died at the weekend, the speedos very tempremental. Both should be done tomorrow.
Fitted an HID kit at the weekend, worked fine Saturday, and now only one light works... But it's under warranty so no real problem.

Yes.
June 6th is Silverstone
October 25th is Brands

Both are double headers, so two races on each day.
