Neuspeed Engine Torque Arm Insert

Suspension/Ride
Eibach Pro Springs (30mm drop)
Koni FSD Shocks
Neuspeed Race Front Anti-Roll Bar (25 mm)
Neuspeed Race Rear Anti-Roll Bar (25mm)

Brakes
Tarox GT 10 Pot 345mm Brakes with F2000 Discs

Interior
Alpine IVA-W202R Double Din Head Unit with fast iPod connection and Alpine Bluetooth
Seat OEM Aluminium Effect Interior Trim
Seat OEM Chrome Gauge Surrounds

Thanks for the Welcome guys! As for whats next well I have a few things that still need to be fitted onto the car but the plan is to go Hybrid Turbo at somepoint so doing all the supporting mods first.
The brakes are very good. Can stop the car no problem, in fact when I first got them I stopped miles away from where I wanted to be  :grin:
Its a lovely colour and its the first thing that I noticed when I saw it in the Garage.

My work is in EK (Peel Park) but I have been working at Eurocentral since March. Not seen your car about as I am sure I would have noticed it.

I am in Edinburgh from time to time as I have friends there. Can't remember being in Leith though  :grin:
