Default My Imola Orange

well now's the time to get the things done that have being bugging me all year first up was to fit rear wing purchased from the scrappy then off to the local body shop for painting, very good match considering there face's when they saw the colour, i think it looks brill

next job fit front spoiler, could not find a good s/h one so rang Alm Honda only to be told you have to buy front and rear as a kit at £1200, Muppet's, any way rang Stuart Graham in Crewe and was told no problem so promptly ordered and picked up Fri, now just got to get the other half to fit asap. .

then got to get that dammed rocker cover sorted and while its off get the rockers adjusted, then him indoors said he will strip out the throttle body, idle control valve, and map sensor and give them a good clean out then hook it up to his scanner and do a ecu relearn.

then new tyres all round so will have to get wheels redone (any one know of a good refurbisher in Congleton/ Macclesfied area) then get the other half to do a full Geo check. Ang.

Would look good if you could colour match. The red and orange clashes, and the bay is so clean!

You need to get and induction kit fitted though!

Ah!! hadn't thought or colour coding rocker (him indoors said all top sports cars have red crackle finish and that's the way it is) but as its my S i like the idea of colour match as for induction kit i tried it with the lid up and could not stand that hideous humming noise on idle does it do this with kit?
