My VIII GSR Build - Complete Tranformation

[Evo8Frankie]

Well not really done alot lately tbh,
All iv done it changed the AUX belt and tensioner for new parts as they were squealing :wtf:

Also managed to get round to changing over the studs on the front hubs to longer ones and fit new Eibach 10mm shims. and then fit new blue steel wheel nuts.

Just waiting for MOT on the 7th and i can then fit the new Exhaust

That's a good improvement over the stock manifold. Hoping to have the car running soon enough to act sully see if there is any improvement, need the map tweaked bud

Great write up Frankie!

It's nice to see non stop progress coupled with dedication.

True enthusiasm......

Granted, I caught the Thread more or less on the tail end of things but it made it all the more enjoyable to read in one go IMO.

The highlight for me was the following statement:

yep it was black to start with and the bay was left black when that clown sneezed onit:wtf:

Pure class!!!

By the way, I find that a Sandwich Plate is better, particularly when it comes with the kit.
