The front cam wheels are to far retarded, the car mpg isnt as good as it should be although still ok on a run, the Bolts on the cam wheels are all the way forward to the end of there slots, the bolts should be central. car feels a little down on top end power although this maybe down to the map also. Car has alot of popping on the over run and flames most of that is down to the fuel reg. lol
Like i said this is getting done thursday and im trying not to use the car between now and then,

That looks really,really good. I never used to like black cars cos they show the dirt but since getting mine my views have changed somewhat. Not sure I could get quite the same results as you've achieved here but I'm gonna get cracking with the clay see what I can do! Photos to follow in due course....

Wow the under bonnet looks like it just come out of the showroom! You must have spent many moons getting it like that so you can just dust it off every week or so now I guess!
Now, if ever you decide to part with her ..........bet I would be at the bottom of a long queue here!

Thanks for the kind words, the Car has done 138k, the engine is the ported and polished one out of my previous red car this engine has done 140k and has a full top end rebuild. engine and box were out hence how clean everything is.
The car cost me £495 a few months ago and yes ive spent alot of time cleaning it lol. Camera makes it look better than it is but she is a clean straight car.
Unfortunalty with all the mods the car is worth alot more in Bits than as a whole. Much like most of the cars on here. :(
