Wow... was it really 2011 when I last updated this?
Nothing happened on the car as its been the last of my priorities for the past 2.5 years! Moved house, got engaged, moved house again... urgh!

Anyway, car is same as... just a dent on the front drivers quarter thanks to a white van man reversing into my car while parked. Pushed most of it out but will get a new wing at some point.

Anyway, got back into playing about with the car after selling a bike... Induction kit has now been purchased!

 


A catback is next and then its on to sort the suspension and brakes while tiding up the bodywork again.

Been looking at some catcams and a C2 VTS intake mani, but thats just thoughts for the time being!

Cheers! Engine bay needs a tidy up but in this weather there is no point!
Kn came with a drycharger (basically a jacket for the filter) as it hangs quite low in the car and can/could get wet. Checked it today after a bit of damp driving and its worked nicely, filter is bone dry but the drycharger had a few specs of water on it!

Today I started swapping the interior. A bolt sheared on the drivers seat and felt unsafe so I picked up a nice condition gti half leather interior off eBay.

Got the seats in, but it started chucking it down So I didnt get round to doing the doorcards.
Poor pic but it gives an idea... feels a bit more supportive than the old sport interior.

 


Exhaust next.

New tyres fitted this morning, got some Uniroyal Rainsport 3's.

Only had them on for about 5 miles and they already seem better than anything I've had before (Proxes, Parada etc), apparently they get better when scrubbed in an they're incredibly quiet.

Off for a drive over the Brecon Beacons now to give them a workout..

Quick spin over to the beach at the weekend, still enjoying the lanes in the pug.

MOT soon, then exhaust time. Not sure if I should go the whole hog and get a 4-2-1, sports cat and cat back or just the cat back for now!

I'm an indecisive bugger, thats why.. ha!

I've been toying between suspension and exhaust for a long while. I did try and find someone to do the suspension last year, but couldn't find anyone local that would do a good price with the work I wanted. I think KAM Racing or PUG1OFF are just about close enough if the price is right though.

Anyway, my exhaust it rotten, so its pretty much "forced" me to get it done. I just hope it goes through the MOT as it doesn't look like I can get booked in beforehand.

EDIT: I do also need a front wing. Some c**t bumped it in a carpark and drove off. Pushed most of it out, but in some light it looks like its got cellulite lol.
