    My Turq updated

    Thought i would update this as iv'e done a few things recently including getting it back on the road.

    So to get it back on the road, i had to do a little welding to both sills and only other thing was to change the rear passenger hub/bearing.

    Also purchased Chets/Mottys engine from the written off Arden blue GT as mine had very low compression on 3 cylinders.

    Since getting it back on the road iv'e changed number plates



    Fitted plasma dials and gauges



    Fitted leathers front and back courtesy of Jrracing




    Also purchased a Carbon abarth spoiler from PHuge



    Also while the engine was out i cleaned the engine bay tidied up the old wire casings, cleaned all hoses and repainted my bonalume and the other metal boost pipes. Then decided to change the filter as the old 1 was pants.

    Oh and before any1 says, the old header tank was due to be replaced but all 3 holding bolts have come away from the body so they need cutting and new thread re-applied which i couldn't be arsed to do yet lol

    From this....



    To this....




    Just waiting on a freshly powder coated battery tray, AFM bracket, Alarm bracket and fuse holder (on the left).

    While painting the boost pipes i also did the intercooler as i prefer the stealth look

    From....



    To....



    Also lowered the car with 60mm Gmax springs and shocks kit

    From....



    To....



    A few other bits and pieces have been done like changed rear bumper, fitted evil elbow, exhaust from previous GT but the best mods are PSC and pedo bear sticker






    Thats all for now but still have Tipo's to fit once i get the rubber, GT1 skirts to test and a new carbon bonnet, i have been promised a new 1 after Xmas

    Not really, need a new bonnet so will be getting a carbon 1 in the new year, also just swap the skirts as a trial to sporting/GT1's and if a TTS1 comes up for grabs may also be tempted

    Not sure on the roof, thought about vinyl wrap but Vern is going that way too now so we'll see.

    If you get colour coded skirts i'll take your old 1's
