Right with hopefully good weather on the horizon im going to get the Vo back on the road with some extra goodies though, always intended to get it remapped so ive started collecting the relervant parts for it along with some other bits and bobs 
Drilled my SAS bolts out, they are originaly around 2mm so after researching i found out that you can safely drill them to 6mm so ive gone 5mm, this will aid "pops and bangs" once mapped.
Also got a metal re-cir dump valve as an upgrade on the oem jobbie that are prone to leaking plus this also helps the machine gun in the exhaust haha.
A 3 way boost controller
and some HID's as the stock evo lights are shiiiiiiiiiiiiite.
Parts still to gather are an uprated fuel pump, larger FMIC and hard pipe kit, coil overs, new brakes all round and poss a Blitz NUR spec exhaust.

Been collecting a few engine dress up parts on the quest to tidy the old girl up a bit.
Also aquired some HKS coil overs which will be going on soon.
Also fitted my twin gauge pod
Finished front end...
Next up will be new brakes all round with braided hoses, Double din dvd on order, after a Nur spec exhaust and soon to be ordering some 9.5 x 18" Bola alloys B1 in white as ive sold the current alloys.

More work over the weekend, fitted my HKS coilovers plus a few engine bits and bobs to tidy her up a little plus went for an MOT!
1st job was to address the crap idle and sudden stalling issue, turns out was a gunked up ICV so removed and cleaned up with carb cleaner and all good, perfect tick over and no cutting out now
Coil overs next up, think it was over due.
and the crusty fronts changed over...
Better
Then off for a hassle free MOT :lol:
The bay with some blingy bits
Next up after the new alloys turn up is to fit new discs and pads all round, re-locate the battery and fit a hard intake turbo to AFM pipe plus so much more 8-[

Managed to get some time to finish a few bits on the motor, 1st up was to collect my Carbon dipped oil cooler vent (f*** paying £180 for carbon one) came out really well.
Then i finished my battery re-location using a Nevernever man kit, turbo to AFM pipe was then sorted in place.
Then fitted the Bola B1 9.5 x 18 et30 with a 5mm front spacer, love the look now really fill the arches out nicely.
Dish!

Managed to give the old girl a good going over on sunday, new clean wheels and a filthy body just didnt work well haha.
So out came the Mequires and after a wash/polish and a wax it came out rather nice.
Want to clay it at some point but happy enough with the finished Wax result.
No apologies for the pic overload
Helping to clean his 1st car lol
and then tucked in for the night

Started to restore the underneath now, parts are starting to look a little crusty so the fun begins on cleaning it all up!
The Arb and brackets were looking tired so striped it down and refurbed it along with some powerflex bushes and some new drop links.
Old and crusty....
Brackets getting some love....
And finished then fitted
Want to rub the floor down and re-apply the underseal.

Looks great.
Got to say though, just chuck the arb away and buy a whiteline one! One of the best mods i did
