We are Sean, haven't seen any since I've been home. Monk3y I made the big mouth by cutting the old grill out, and cable tying some oem sort of lookalike meet in there. I'll mount the number plate so you can't see the ties though. Cheers Tom, one busy period to the next, we've just moved into our new house. Off to buy a new tv!
Josh, some awesome updates! Love the front mount and mesh combo. Was the mesh from eBay or alike? Really good match. Do you have a link?
The seats look really good. Holds you well I should imagine? Sounds like that you got them for a steal too!
Everyone needs a man cave btw!! Hope settling into to the new home goes well

Monk3y the bumper has been pretty butchered but it's done now so I don't mind lol. Yeah before I sprayed the cooler black you could, I'll put a pic up off my phone in a bit. Cheers James, yeah it was from eBay, I'll get a link to you mate. Yeah they hold you very well, still want LCR recaros though! Cheers for the comment again.
You'll feel a difference in the coming months though I expect, especially when the iat's are +4 above ambient. Mine has suffered a little more like +6 now but oh we'll I don't look like a chord any more. Yeah some parts of the cooler install are quite fiddle lol.
No it came with the r embroiled and red and black stitched fabric as standard, not many r's about with the recaros especially the bucketed rears.
My oil used to, have a look at the rad fan problem and work out if your resistors are fried like mine were. My oil sits higher when stationary but by about 5 degrees. Could be normal?
We're all settled in The house now, most jobs are done for the moment, so next week I'm going to look into putting in extra supports and boarding up the garage roof. Hopefully make a bit of storage for all my bits.
I test rode a Suzuki gs500e last week, wasn't impressed at all. After this I had a go on a Kawasaki Ninja 300 and loved it! However, didn't want to spend nearly £5k on a first bike especially with it being such a small engined one. So, I am picking up my Ninja 250 tomorrow, compared to the 300 there wasn't any difference I could notice except from a slightly different riding position. Hopefully, this will be a stepping stone up to something a bit bigger, maybe a 600. I've already bought a yoshimura full stainless exhaust for it, with a carbon can as it's got a cheap rubbish aftermarket can on at the moment. I'll upload some pictures of it tomorrow, needs a good detail but I've now got all the stuff! Watch this space. Oh, 0-60 is just a little quicker than a standard 225 lol.

Bit of a sudden decision but she's going back to standard minus the arm rest and wellycooler (I think this will be the only things left) everything else will be available including 3" blueflame tb zorst, double din console, liquid gauge, all the boost hoses, 007p. I don't want to ruin this thread so if anyone wants anything can you message me through here.
Car is too good and low mileage to be used for the motorway miles I do in it. 72k fsh if anyone is interested.

No way, that means your selling up ? was just checking the updates on this too, loving those Recaro seats you dropped in. So what's the plan then ? new car ?
It does I'm afraid, it is literally a sudden decision to sell. I know I'll regret it but I'm not having much fun in it lately always on the motorway with it or using it as a van for the new house. Been looking at a6 avants, 3.0 tdi s line of vw touareg 5.0 v10 ttdi lol. Some torque in them. Got a bonus in may so I can always buy another.... How's the 3?
