It’s been a while since there has been an update on the FD but that doesn’t mean significant progress hasn’t been make.
So where are we at so far?
Last time you saw it (in an update exactly one month ago) it was in the bodyshop with various bits being prepped ready for paint. Well, she’s now back at home plate and all in 1 colour. I’m not going to do in-depth pictures here, i’ll take you around the car once it’s done. But needless to say, the quality of the paint finish is beyond exceptional. Really bloody impressive. It’s immaculate, i shit you not.
Painted in Bentley Beluga Black
I have also made a start on fitting some of the bits that i had “knocking around” 
!! I have undersealed all the arches (will do the entire underside of the car before im done) And fitted a set of brand new GReddy Type S suspension:
We also fitted another toy, a very pimp Shine Auto Projects carbon front under tray.
The other good news is that my young padawan Scott turned up with my rubber earlier on this week. We test fitted a couple of different spacer setups on a bare rim and have found something that works. I’m just waiting for Mr Smeeeth at Garage D to get his order of “spethal” wheel nuts in on Monday/Tuesday and we may even see a “rim shot!” mid week.
What else is there to do?
I need to remove the complete exhaust and turbo setup from the car. Not only does it have no heat proofing, but it’s also got no baffles. It’s a single 3.5 inch pipe from the turbo back. On a street port it’s LOUD! There are also a couple of blown gaskets by the sounds of things.
The car also has a slight oil leak from the sump which is going to be an arse to fix, but i’ll jump on that at some point in the near future.
Fit the OMP block off plate (i’ll explain more about that nearer the time)
And i need to do something with the interior… i mean BADLY. It looks like a fecking war zone in there.
More as it happens.
