More track photos, track day was @ Luddenham Raceway, such a mint track & the semi-slicks made it amazing to drive.

So, been a while since I posted.

Car spent a majority of February / March at the mechanics due to:
- broken plug for DFI coming loose from harness & causing the car to turn on & immediately die.... also my 12 month old MAF sensor was also knackered (thanks eBay)
- flexplate/converter bolts had worked their way almost completely loose (finger tight) with one disappearing altogether which resulted in a knocking noise which was good fun. Glad I caught it early!
- Fenix radiator shat the bed, was in the car less than 2 years and no more than 15,000k’s. Their warranty process is a joke so we gave up and bought a standard Adrad replacement.

Scored a set of VE SSV Redline wheels dirt cheap from a good mate of mine, next step will be to get them machined down to fit & I want to fully detail/ceramic coat the face & barrels to reduce regular wash times & keep them shiny etc.

Other than that I’m looking to get done PDR dove & get my spare steering wheel retrimmed.

Yeap, I also had an underwhelming fenix.
Car is looking great by the way

I keep using my credit with my mate for parts to keep this going

Well look at that, so it was.
I didn't even remember until you mentioned it (and I looked back a page)

Looking mint.
P.s keep an eye on that fenix in years to come. Mine is 4yr old and needs replacing.

Been several months since I’ve posted.. just some general photos as always.

Had my spare steering wheel retrimmed in Napa leather with stitch to match the paint.

Was so happy how it turned out I came back with console lid, handbrake & shifter to have it matched! Eventually will look to have my door trims aligned to this look as the original ones I got trimmed in vinyl & suede aren’t holding up to time.

Just waiting for the right time to install it all.
