Finally got to drive my car yesterday, and i love it! the sound is awesome.
Changed my exhaust to a 3 1/2inch outwardly rolled one too.
took a few pics today, engine bay still needs a little clean, excuse the bonnet, its half flatted for buffing.
need to find the rubbers for the cambelt cover so i can fit that.
Had a play in it last night and ended up beating in a straight line an RX8(dont know what model) and an audi S3 1.8T, they wouldnt come along side me when i slowed down

car looks so nice mate! black is definitely a gangstar colour 
just please lose the rear lights  and a completed semi smooth boot would finish the car off a treat IMO.
engine cover looks

Get a chrome oilcap aswell, they make alot of difference.

right, like i have said sooo many times on here, the rear lights are only on untill i find some mhw's, i almost had some off a lad on here but he f**ked me about and ended up not selling me them.
the boot has had the wiper arm welded over and smoothed, im not smoothing the lock as i cant be arsed putting a solenoid in, more practical leaving lock.
the xe is misfiring a little bit only sometimes though, its suspected to be the leads so im changing them this week and all should be good

its form the old engine when it had an oil filter on it, oil went everywhere, im cleaning the engine bay up this week so will look nice and spanky.
only other thing left to do now is flat and buff the paintwork, still havnt done it since it got re-sprayed.
then it will eb ready for PVS, hoping to get accepted onto the corsasport stand.

im after a carbon bonnet but they are mega expensive.
its ace, the car is very very loud, didnt have and big silencers so stuck 2 small ones but its still loads loud, had a play and was quicker than an rx8 and an audi a3 1.8 turbo last night
