History in pictures so far...

Something I've been meaning to do for a while is show a history of the bug so far in pictures so here we go...

1.Get the car, totally standard, needed some welding and mechanical work to get through MOT


Remove standard airbox and fit cheap and nasty cone filter.


Buy some 'MG mini' green high temperature paint and go a bit slap happy on the block


Fit a carbon fibre 'effect' strut brace
 
Get some 15" momo alloys and put cheapo tyres on it




don't have specific picture but get Brembo front discs and green stuff pads fitted around now
find a veilside / bomex bodykit up north on ebay, spends a month in my kitchen being rebuilt (front bumper in several pieces etc)
 We fit the bodykit and use tins of halfords special to spray the body kit up
 ...with ridiculous rear wing

Have custom exhaust made up so I can interchange between 2 back boxes, a less sporty mazdaspeed one... 


...and this ridiculously loud titanium japanese one.


Does it's first ScumRun 2009 (our second)


Made it back in one piece but paintwork a little worse for wear!


Get adjustable coilovers


have the coilovers fitted



Car now looks pretty cool dropped about 100mm


I smashed the clutch bearings going off the limited in tunnels in france so needed new clutch


turns out I'd sheered the whole drive shaft so needed new gearbox too!


Swapped the nasty cheap filter for an APEXi induction kit (which is awesome!) 


We take it to the Nurburgring 'rag the ring' 


It massively impresses on the track


Have crazy spray job done ready for the next ScumRun


OK so that's it so far! 

thanks
