Thanks for the warm welcome!
To answer some of the questions, I’m based in Dublin. Would 100% come to a meet up north if there was one, itching to get to any car events!
Also yes, the car was very low indeed, too low for the roads around here anyway so first order of business was to refit the original springs.
This is what it looks like now... still quite low actually but a lot more drive-able.
Previous owner fitted the aero kit and spoiler, had it detailed and ceramic coated, refurbed the 107s, wrapped them in Bridgestone RFTs (SO HARSH..), and fitted them with spacers, fitted gloss black grills, stubby antenna, an oil temp gauge (very clean install), and had it lowered on 40mm FK springs (now for sale if anyone’s interested they have about 1k miles on em), he also tinted the headlights, fitted Bluetooth streaming, USB port and an AUX in (also very clean install).
Oil Temp Gauge:
What I did so far is refit original springs, replace a drop link that’s seen better days and get a 4 wheel alignment. Plans? Well the list is getting bigger by the day.. but some of the items I’m not sure are very cost effective, like performance seats
-Need a xenon levelling sensor to pass the NCT (Irish MOT) (anybody got one?)
-Might reinstall the foam in the sound generator (have that)
-Retrofit Power Folding Mirrors (costly?)
-Retrofit Cruise Control (easy to do?)
-Roof Down Side Covers (wanted them as soon as I became aware of their existence!)
-Original Mats (Main Dealer maybe)
-Refit 3.0i Badges but in gloss black
-Mirror Switch (mine works in every direction except up for some reason)
-Performance seats ($$$$$) or maybe M-Sport seats (heated and manual preferably)
-MFSW M-Sport Steering Wheel (could I get the buttons to work?)
-Exhaust (NEED SOME SNAP CRACKLE AND POP, decat + muffler delete maybe?)
-3.64 or (3.46 at least) LSD (This is top priority)
-Suspension (Least priority - will see if normal tyres make it less skittish)
-Boot pop mod ( this is just cool
)
-USDM Lights (anybody do this?)
