Drove into the wilds of Estonia!



Wow! Cool car against  the background scenery!

Cheers pal  :happy2:  I like that shot too!
Funny you brought that one up because I only just the other day set that as the wallpaper on my work PC.

I did that mod, but it failed to work in the winter and gave my lock a bit of a hammering when you have to dial them out so far - result was I sold it. Hmm, is the new spring method any better in the colder climbs?

Ive adjusted mine & so far so good..i think mine was due anyway as the old shocks almost fell off as i removed them.

Swapped the old dealer plates for some fresh ones with the Welsh flag on. Only a small addition but there we go lol

Wheel refurb next but that will have to wait a few weeks!

We swapped bosh plugs for Ngk BKR7EIX and vw coil packs for r8 ones thanks to the group buy from AKS tuning. Car feels smoother and mor responsive on the throttle now  :smiley:

How was removing the oil filler neck? ↑

I've read that once you remove it...the cap fits perfectly into the valve cover, true?
