Your car is bringing a refreshing touch of class to the streetscene, imho!

Lucky enough it won't be on the road much I was very surprised it's worse than the vibra technics ones I had in the RS2000

GTI spoiler car would look good with charcoal trim and wheels imo.

Finally got round to getting the auxiliary gauges, kill switch and the map switch in today so for the time being all is done....

Taking it into work tomorrow for check over and to do a full 4 wheel alignment but wont be putting on the rear discs etc just yet as im booked into the local village car show on Sunday so i dont want to do anything that may end up causing a problem since i need to give it a good polish Saturday so looks good as can be for its first outing at LAST!!!!!!

Finally got the car MOT'd today straight through luckily as we are at the car show tomorrow poor old girl has only covered 42 miles since 2012....

Thought id post a few pics from the last two classic shows i took the 200 too. I must admit car shows of any kind are not really and think but thought as they were both local i would go and my glad to report a lot of people have taken a interest in the car mostly because of the engine but a lot of people have remarked on how good the body of the car is and when i tell them its never been welded and there is no filler anywhere they seem quite amazed....

Few more bits off the shopping list today, got a set of PowerFlex Black Series brake reaction bar bushes to stop the wheels moving under breaking and a set of Hardrace rear toe adjusters (thanks to Drew from RoverTech for the great price)....

Just need to get the rear trailing arms on now with the rear discs, re-adjust the 4 wheel alignment, change engine and gearbox oil and im feeling ready to take it om its first trackday when it cools down a bit as im having trouble with high coolant and intake temps at the minute.

And finally another of the car in the place it see's the most the local V-Power pump need to stop driving it so hard as im only getting 30-40 miles on £20 think the throttle bodies must be sticking open....
