This car is ridiculous now, it used to be a beast but now its a complete animal, I swear its breaking traction in 3rd.. (or I've got some bushes gone.. )

Pretty lively these tuned 3B's, eh, Newsh?

Nice choice of wheels too.

Need picture updates, and a video :mischeif:

Wheelsping in third sounds fun/frightening.

Rear bumper is on and wheels changed for 17" Superleggera

This is what the forum does to you.

I don't know if its a year in a 300 ish hp Avant but I kid you not this thing scares me

The Wagner manifolds and IC kit has made a massive difference to the spool, it just gets up and goes now.

Finally had some time to do a few more bits on the car today, went back to Halfords and exchanged a couple of belts, spent some time trying different belt lenths and widths and got the PAS belt and alternator belt running tighter, alternator was slipping and no clearance to the samco from the Wagner IC. Still think I could do better but there are gaps in the sizes..

Finished off the battery wiring, up till now the new wire from under the back seat was just joined to the old wire under the bonnet. As the new cable wasn't long enough I ended up using the original 3B cable down to the starter motor and joined the new one to it behind the air box. Made a joiner out of a copper plumbing fitting sawn lengthways, crimped it on and soldered it and covered with some plastic tube.
Ran a new wire from the back to the fuse box using my original ends spliced onto the new wire.

As we had some rain this evening and the carpet is out I was able to spot my final water leak which runs down inside the passenger door seal, so first thing is to pull the seal out and check the rivets on the trim etc. Driver's side, which was by far the worst is now bone dry

Now just needing a rear bumper, a front bumper in the correct colour and Pete to come over and fit my electric windows

Try a knotted wire brush on a grinder to shift the rust on the rotors, I had the same issue when mine was in bits for a year cleaned them up a treat
