In the spirit of #longlivetheforum I thought I’d pitch up and do a ‘build thread’ 
So the car was reasonably standard when I picked it up last year with the exception of a open air filter and the 240r forged wheels.
Since then I’ve just been enjoying the car, took it to a friends wedding in wales and added a couple of days to explore some cracking roads.
Fitted engine mount inserts to the rear mount as I hate how much these engine wobble.
Changed the gear oil for some redline MTF
Put a pioneer head unit with smart sync into the car.
Touched up a few bits of paintwork.
I’ve bought some Nitron NTR40’s with some custom valving from meteor motorsport leaning them slightly more towards road use than they would be from Nitron, presently getting the springs refurbished and then they will be going straight on with probably a 5-10mm drop in ride height.
With the hope of some trackdays and in particular a trip to SPA, it started playing on my mind that this car was still rocking oem toelinks and sump. I did a poll on Facebook to test how small a minority I was in to still be relying on these standard items and the results were clear.
Wind the clock forward 1 weeks and I am now the proud owner of these.
The spitfire toelinks looks absolutely devine and I can’t wait to get tinkering!
I’ve gone for the seriously lotus baffled sump, made by pro alloy, any recommendations on a liquid gasket to use when fitting?
That’s about it for now, I anticipate some new tyres will be needed in the not to distant future, r888r, a052 and ZZS are all in the mix for potential replacements atm….
