Little update with some recent work:-

New CyberSpeed rear camber arms, I didn't get a good photo before they were installed so I've used the stock photo to show them (still doesn't do the blue sparkle justice)

Look away now N&N, this wheel arch may give you nightmares

Image


I also purchased some new rubber for the 17" buddyclubs, going to try these federal 595 RS-R semi-slick tyres at the next track day
Image

Wheels and tyres in the living room? well as the tyre fitters had covered the wheels in black mud and it was raining when I got them home I washed them off in the bath (one of the benefits of living on your own) :lol:

I heard that with these these extra sticky tyres the engine may suffer from oil starvation on track, cue a little birthday present to myself

It's a K-developments v3 drop in baffled sump, supplied and fitted by RMotion - cheers Mike n Kris

While the sump was being fitted the car had it's valve clearances checked, new rbf fluid and new ds2500 pads fitted to the front; my sticky caliper resurfaced on way back from RMotion so a new caliper is required - grrr, it's been an expensive month

Decided to take the opportunity to refurb the replacement caliper rather than paint it in situ; cleaned it yesterday, going to paint it today
Image

I bought yet another oil filler cap last year as the previous two never looked quite right with all the other reds going on in the engine bay, up until now I had not taken a picture of it (and on reflection, I should get a better one)

Cheers, the black buddy club oil cap finishes it off well, the picture probably looks better than in the flesh as there's still too many different shades of red going on in there

I fitted the wheels the other night, the new tyres kick some serious botty - grip is immense even when cold, I couldn't even get near the limit, not sure on their wet performance yet

Went out and took some pictures yesterday, I hadn't washed the car since tuesday so it's not as shiny as could be, thought you may appreciate these shots beefy [smilie=karls_thumb.gif]
