Its been a very busy year!! here's what ive been up to!

Went to a Tarmac rally stage in mid wales for a weekend with some mates, very wet but had an awesome time! my Hankook V12's kept me safely on the track!!

then did a bit of camping in cornwall with some mates:-

and went up cheddar gorge!!

and in the summer did a 1600mile 9 day trip organised by me with 5 mates in our 4 cars a simply epic trip, amazing from start to end! i love Irish roads and people

Had a lot of knocking sounds coming from the suspension half way through the Irish adventure! when i got back it went streight in to get fixed! heres what was done:-

- 2 New entire front suspension arms (old ones where bent!)
- 2 New front droplinks
- new metal brake pipe
- New Goodridge Braided lines
- All new front suspension bushes
- and the electrical problem sorted!!

spent full 2 days cleaning the car, removing stones set in tarr off the inside of the alloys and tarr all over the paintwork! nightmare to get off!!

then fitted a carbon bonnet i bought of a friend 11.30 the night before Japfest!

then went to a rolling road day at Powerstation 2Bhp less than last year's run but 4 lb/ft more torque!

2011- 169.9bhp 109 lb/ft
2012- 168.2bhp 113 lb/ft

then swaped for some winter rubber for the winter months, to keep my alloys salt free!!

I really like how this car has come along and the tranformation the wheels made . Nice work !
