well by chance last weekend i came across an irmscher grill for my car and had to snap it up ! been looking for ages and obviously no one really sells them but was looking at other parts and seen this and not bad for £50! when a new one is around £160 came with original box and all lugs at back were all there does look much better.IMG_20170731_164219.jpgIMG_20170731_164236.jpg

woah didnt realize no update since a year! well couple things done nothing major with other commitments came first unfortunately, but should start to do more now i hope! in this past year following has been done, gearbox oil changed only for personal preference not much change but wanted it done, fuel pump replaced took along time to realize pump was the problem as pointless throwing parts at it so with many hours on researching it solved it, 2 services , 2 new front tyres last set lasted 20,000 miles felt should of been more, failed mot on few things one being brake pipes all replaced that was on the to do list , both front springs replaced with droplinks , had problem with 02 sensor deleted code few times but kept coming back so figured a new one would sort it and so far it has , picked up dipped engine covers from fellow member and gave the engine bay a good clean up. also picked up painted rear lights as i couldnt for the life of me wrap the top part as i wanted it also got a sunglass holder , also a vxr bumper yet to be painted , also picked up a blank black grill thats 3 to the collection for no reason , and picked up some heated switches then realized its much bigger job than i fought so they now just sit there doing nothing looks nicer though , done other things will update once i have look at paper work as i keep every paper trail for the cars, current mileage on 105,000 by now i had hoped to done fair bit on it , have considered selling due to lack of power but then i decide nah its a decent working car etc may keep it but either way i still got to replace few things exhaust could do with a change now rusted fair bit rear shocks also need doing so now should be the lowering time perfect excuse, well lets see how long till next update!
