Had it for a few months now, nothing too exciting.

Just had a fantastic experience with a timing chain at 65,000 k's. (When it should last anywhere up to 100,000k's +!)
$2500 later it's replaced and running awesome,

Couple of budget P plate special mods,
- deleted rear mufflers, replaced with straight pipes

-Added a sub behind the drivers seat.

- Has a big shiny strut brace


-Future-

OTR is on it's way and should be here in early FEB

The coil over vs lowered springs debate still rages on... Haven't decided yet.

And a nice set of G8's if I can get the money together,

And a lid, which Is priority one, to hide the tools of corse.

Bout it I think.

Purely laziness I guess,
There is a drone at 2000+\- 100rpm. But it's not too bad.

It's not that bad really. But I'm still keen on a full exhaust. Once I find 2.5" tips to weld on then it will look fine.

Yea I'm looking at the hardlid from esp (I think) which is central locking. So no locks to break or rust out.

And yea some nice staggered wheels would go mint.
Just a matter of the $$$$$ haha
