Of eBay not sure where from I’ll try and find a link 

Soooo a few things have turned up 

 

new revo rv019 alloys in gloss black not sure if to fit them or sell them got them for a mega price so had to buy them 

 

also damon motorsport racing engine and transmission mounts 

[D13 HPD 95]

Also had my powerflex anti lift front wishbone bushes, front caster bushes, while line front and drop links fitted, wheel aligned up, caster is at +6.43 and +6.34 degrees angle around 2 degrees more positive than stock, and I tell you what the ride and control round corners now is so much better it’s untrue how much difference it’s made, the steering is slightly heavier but nothing to drastic, turning circle is the same and parking is still as easy as it was before, camber and toe are set the factory specs still 

 

 

also here is the link for the door the door hinge things

Not really much to report but an update non the less 

fitted a carbon spoiler for an hour and then removed it lol not really 100% keen on it being all carbon 

 

got mtself elf a new gauge pod completely carbon this time 

also my new SS steering wheel should be here in 2 weeks 

 

other things that that have happened, I removed my carbon gauge faces for the stock ones as my needles kept getting stuck no pics of that tho 

Also fitted an F1 style fog light brake kit so it flashs for 3 seconds then goes solid when braking but acts as a normal fog light when the fog light is on, need to get a video of this 

I go away for a week tomorrow but when I get back there will be more updates to come!

[b4zz]

that carbon rs spoiler looks a bit marmite to me can see why you wernt to keen on it.

enjoy your week away and look forward to the update when you get back.

Decided she was getting one quick deep clean before holiday 

New RS spoiler gels in carbon fitted as well 

[zain611]

That carbon spoiler is a hard one but depends on how it looks when looking at the whole of the car. Looking forward to seeing the fog light upgrade. Will be interesting to see how it works. 

[b4zz]

liking the rs carbon gel badges for the spoiler. cant beat a clean car before you go away. I done the same thing with mine before I went on holiday

[D13 HPD 95]

Few thing completed today 

summit rear upper brace installed in the boot 

carbon fibre intake scoop 

carbon fibre battery cover

carbon fibre bumper panel 

 

few more things coming this week to kick it up another notch!

[b4zz]

loving the carbon fibre touches fella and this is coming along great

[D13 HPD 95]

Latest mod is here ready to be fitted next week - I need a new reducer hose as this one isn’t longer enough, breedt inlet manifold with throttle body spacer and 67mm larger bore throttle body to fit 

 

also got one of these funky air fresheners haha 

[b4zz]

loving the new part fella and the air freshener is a bonus lol

[zain611]

I really like these little engine mods. I'd never would of think or even know of these parts. 

[D13 HPD 95]

Dsc controller installed today 

here a review of it online 

I would 100% agree with this review it’s what made me buy one and I love it done 150 miles today after the install and I cannot get enough on how the RS feels and handles now 

 

also installed the F1 style fog brake light unit again link below on how it works 

I tidyed the wiring up after and recovered everything in electrical tape to protect all the connections 

and finally the front end of the car is slowly coming together now! 

Custom carbon to gloss black faded oem splitter!

Cheers it’s a good mod it’s come with a secret switch down by the interior footwell light so I can turn it off at any point which is handy as well 

[zain611]

I like that however does the brake lights work when you press the brake when the main lights are on? It could confuse some people driving behind you in traffic when the bottom light is out of view.

Yes so everything works as normal when braking or having the lights on the fog light just comes on to act as another brake light to be more visible the fog light flashes for 3 second then goes solid
