They look much better in the flesh, you can't really see the dish in the pictures.

Time for Stage 2!
Starting with:
Revo engine mounts
3" downpipe
MTec slotted disks and mintex pads
Braided brake lines
A damn good service!!

Engine mounts in:




Quick plug swap whilst I'm tinkering, old plugs don't look too bad.



All back together again, time for a quick jaunt to test her out

Engine mounts are amazing, completely change the drive of the car. Down pipe has not made much difference, feeling a suitcase delete is in order.

Today I fitted the MTec brakes and HC red braided hardlines. Also I dropped the car another inch.

After



With wheel on



Then I degreased the engine



Will take pictures of new stance once the rain stops.

I used muck off and a sponge, then I gave it a quick light rinse.

I will also say - hardlines for the brakes, what a difference!!!

I'm sure they aren't, but the wheels look huge!
