Hardly surprising that you've been a lurker given how busy you've been! Car looks stunning :thumbsup: Hopefully you've got more time on your hands now...
Now Gone - 2008 Coupe, Montego Blue, Champagne leather and Piano Black interior, Eibachs & Koni Sport shocks, Style 230 19s, Eisenmann Quad - approaching perfection...

This car hasn't been LPG since July 2015, that is strange though!
Apparently the engine takes LPG pretty well, I just decided that I would prefer to run it on SUL so I pulled all the gubbins out. Plus it more than doubled the size of the boot...
Obviously a different car then :? was parked in the centre of the main arena , mileage on the car i looked at was over 130k iirc

Pic here with bonnet up it actually looks as if it was a Si Se ?

Yeah, how odd! I've never been, but it's on the list of things that I would like to. My mileage is currently around 115k and I've had it from about 91k. Mine's an Si Sport. Good collection of cars though, I do like a red roadster :)

Thanks :thumbsup:
It’s not finished, I’ve still got to finish the suspension (probably a b12 kit), a few bits of paintwork and refurb the 108s. Then maybe a birds diff, polybush subframes, engine and gearbox mounts, brace bar, lightweight clutch, more exhaust mods, aero skirts, cams and map...

The list goes ever on!

Welcome to the forum - at last! :lol:

You've been pretty busy already, but good luck with your future plans - they are just such great cars.

And you are obviously a man of impeccable taste, so welcome to the very exclusive Montego Blue with Pearl Grey and 108s Coupe club! :thumbsup:

I suppose a photo is required now!

Thanks, they were a complete state prior. They aren’t perfect but, as with most of the rest of the car, they look great from a couple of feet away.

Thanks :thumbsup:
I’ve just spent a few minutes this morning hardwiring in a dashcam and I realised I missed a few bits that I have done, mainly: a Warren Engineering bypass pipe on the exhaust, felt sticky tape all over the underside of the interior trim to remove squeaks and rattles, diff and gearbox oil changed, handbrake mechanism clean and rebuild and changed the rocker cover gasket.

Thanks both!

One final job I have done is tightening the locking ring around the steering assist motor, much better feel now.
