So Wednesday I was having a bad day and decided that I wouldn't carry on with the 180 and start saving for a replacement, well after alot of thinking and chill time (blast on the motorway  ) I realised that the cars I would consider buying, focus rs mk1, 8P S3 and others were out of my price range not to mention parts will probably be more expensive than for the pug.
So to celebrate, I've given to go ahead for my centre console to be hyrdodipped by GarnishDip which will finish off the cf look interior  |
Focus RS mk1 is a total different ball game to an S3. Now that, that is worth while!
Glad you're keeping the 180 going! it looks lovely, I keep wishing mine was black the shine from a black car after a detail, I'd love it haha. My old Fiesta ZS shined like a beau might dig out some pics haha.
Pay day my b***h is getting some stuffsssss, including brembos! Some just up the road from me going cheap!
Shame I cba sending parts off ect or I'd do the same!

Team Gti 180 all the way mate
I would love a mk1 focus rs if I could afford it, even though they are quite a few years old, the styling is awesome and even a standard focus is nice to drive
Black is such a lovely colour mate, there's so much shine when it's clean and that's even before a polish, just as well I have a basic camera because you'd see the swirls else  although I may invest in a dual action polisher at a later date

Would like too bud but remap is about £225, cams are even more plus they need alot of working on to get the timing etc right and i'd only use pug1off for that

Remap @ RSTuning is 300 iirc, I'm getting mine done soon Matty,
I want cams but I won't shell out anytime soon on that, so when my decats actually on I'll just have it mapped and if I get it cammed one day I'll just have to have another map for it.
Map is definitely worth doing btw, I had a generic Angel tuning map slightly tinkered for my Scorpion decat back & simota before and that car moved!

There's a company based near me called MB Motorsport who specialise in TVR's etc www.mbmotor-sport.com/ so will get them to do it, places like RSTuning and Pug1off are too far just for a remap unless they did other engine work at the same time, at the minute I need to change my factory induction before getting a remap, may get the clutch changed too as i'm not sure this was done and even after 16months of ownership still find the clutch uncomfortable

So after watching the F1, decided to pop out in the car and saw that the car was absolutely filfthy probably after a shower last night so decided she needed a wash when I got home
hoping this month to get my engine cover in cadbury's purple and get the roof strips sprayed up and then if enough left over black zunsport bonnet and bumper grilles

Well purchased this tin of what looks like an amazing shade of purple, not sure if it's a match for cadbury's purple but it looks pretty close, comes in a 1ltr tin so hopefully can use it on the calipers too

As of 1pm today I have joined team typhoon due to someone not sending payment for kit on ebay.
However, the pipe is in blue so needs to be changed but I am in 2 minds as to get it powdercoated gloss black and fit a purple sfs reducer hose OR spray the pipe in the same purple pictured above which the engine cover is being done in and keep the original k&n hose

Do it gloss black with purple hoses for sure. I'd also put a K+N sticker on the pipe somewhere I think :).
I'm having my pipes & new coloured hoses done at some point soon. :).
Got sooo much to do for show season if I go, I really don't know if I can be asked with FCS though I know I'm going to be disappointed.
I'm not selling mine, eventually I wan't to wene it off as a daily and turn it in to a track toy as I've always wanted to track but kept my paint too well to risk it. When I get it low goodbye rear interior again.
You need to get shot of that red pinstripe on your grill now dude
