next is to get the ICE & install fitted & wired up before ISTS on 10th April. Order & fit de-badged grill before ISTS.

Then i gotta save up some pennys for new brakes, think i'll go for EBC Turbo discs & pads as i had them on my 206 & they were good brakes for the money.

Got loads of other little custom bits as well like car mats & trimed engine bits that i'm working on (details make the car).

Another little update...

I got bored last week so went & took some pics of my car in Southport.

Decided to fit the install ready for the ISTS show. Had a few problems with the vibe amp, it powers up but wont power the subs. So going to get a new one as soon as i can, thats why i'm using the InPhase one at the moment, the install dont sound good at all at the moment. But you get the idea...

Also got my new grill from LMF...

Before...

After...

This is how i want the rear bumper to look, short plate & smaller plate resece.

Went to the ISTS show at the weekend.

I was going to buy an irmy splitter & vxr spoiler this week but was on way to London on Sunday night & the car went into limp mode at 90mph on the M1. Started judering & lost all power, went down to about 40mph. Was a night mare as i didnt know where to go at like 12 at night. Ended up staying in a holiday inn in Peterborough & got vauxhall to look at it in the morning. First garage said they couldnt do it till Wednesday. 2nd garage said they would look at it but not do any work till i said so. Got a phone call at 4pm on Monday & they said they had fixed the problem & it was the no.3 injector & the bill was £170.

unlucky about the injector,loads of people on here have had that problem i think from readin a few of the threads about it.there should be a recall on this problem.

how about they discs,they make any difference to the stopping of the car compared to before,and how much did they set you back if you dont mind me askin,they look good behind them wheels,cars lookin good

I managed to get them discounted from demon tweeks, cost £460 for front & rear discs & pads fitted. As for performance of them, there is not much difference for normal road driving, they do stop the car quicker at higher speeds tho.

Fitted Ripspeed DVD Player headunit a few weeks ago which came in useful on the way down to Nationals at the weekend as there was loads of traffic on the motorway so managed to watch a DVD.

Went to Modified Nationals for the weekend, was a good show & i'm now sun burnt very bad, lol. Added a few bits for the show.

On show...

Bullet aerial...

Never been...

Getting some attention...

Front...

I love speedbumps...

Alloy...

Alloy again...

Bullet valve caps...

I am trying to get some green bits on the car for PVS but not sure if i'm going to have time. We'll see...

I'm not sure about the bullet aerial if I'm honest but it's certainly something I haven't seen before. The car looks great though. What suspension set up have you got on it? It sits very nicely on those wheels.
