Yep we took an hour and a bit detour just after I picked the car up. Great place for photos
It's a great place for photos, just don't go there after it get dark, heard it gets a bit weird :crackup:

Don’t call it finished yet! the best interior mod I’ve done is the 5spurs armrest/cup holder cover, I couldn’t imagine mine without it, ads a bit of class and comfort imo
I agree 😀

Failed my MOT, was 0.03 over on the emissions. How much would year old fuel affect that ?
not much. make sure engine is nice and hot when you take for test (give it a 30 min drive before going) and drive it hard make sure you get it up into the rev range get it nice and hot clear out all the shit, it'll retest below.

Took it back for a re-test and failed again. Turns out it failed the lambda test which means either the engines running lean or there's an exhaust leak. Wish they had told me that the first time and I would have checked all the exhaust joints :facepalm:

After half a can of brake cleaner, the air leak doesn't appear to be on the manifold side, next stop, the exhaust.

Fitted Borla S-Type active axle-backs to go with my Mishimoto H-pipe (and yes the active function is being used despite it being a pre-facelift thanks to some aliexpress motors and controller). Absolutely thunderous with the valves open, but nice and civilised when closed to keep the neighbours happy. I also had my oil cooler done at Modurstang on Monday, first time up there and the service was spot on👍

Took it to Silverstone and made it sit and watch while I drove another pony. Got blown kisses at on the M40 on the way up by some bloke in the back of a Clio. This car definitely attracts attention. The petrol station attendant last weekend said he loved my car and kept asking if I was married. Seems a bit much to want to marry someone for their car but takes all sorts I guess 😁

nice indeed. Did you dremel the rear surround to get the quads to fit? I went Varex exhaust (pre facelift as well) to give the neighbour noise level option but just duals like stock

We used a 5in holesaw to open it up a bit, then a small hacksaw and files to tidy the edges up👍 I've got an MP Concepts diffuser on the way to make it look more like factory fitment, but it isn't too bad for a hack job
