Thought I'd better get some pictures up as I am becoming a bit of a post whore :pimp2:


Not had the car a month yet, already got lots planned and a fair bit done already:

Done:
Engine flush and change to Amsoil 0w-30
ATF Flush (x2? :P) to Amsoil synthetic
Proper clean inside, out and engine :)

Planned:
Stainless brake hoses and super blue fluid (not going down the Brembo route)
Install oil and boost gauges
WRD downpipes
WRD hardpipes
Uprated intercooler?
suspension service (there is a small knock I need to locate)
repair rear arches, and maybe full respray?

when I'm happy everything is sweet then I will consider a ECU remap or EBC.

Colour is nice, same as my old saloon.

Looks black to most people, but in some lights its very very green.

You got my wheels !!!!!! Kahn SSr's or something.. Mine are 18x8.5, i'm guessing yours are 17's...

The wheels are eta beta's.
Look identical to the Kahn's tho. Don't think they are just copies though.

I've now bought some guages, and half wired them up.
Just need to connect the sensors and boost tubing.
Getting the arches sorted this week, and next weekend I'm going to fit the stainless brake lines, bleed the fluid and paint the calipers.

Can't decide what colour to paint them. I've got some red paint, but everyone paints them red..

That's them RSR's... would look cr*p & bit chav on a Corsa, but quite like them on the Legnum.

(Got my gauges sitting at home to sort still too....)

Gly, do you have the same colour car as me with red calipers?
If you do can I see a picture? Red calipers on a black car is mint, but not sure about on a green car.

Looking nice :)
I have a green one on the way and the question is do I leave my alloys gold or refurb them anthracite?? I think it's a love/hate with gold wheels but they have been on my Probe for years and look great. (sorry to hijack the thred!)

Are you planning to swap the wheels over? Will they fit? I guess this is off topic to the original thread too! Sorry!!

Finesse green. Ahhh..... I remember my first G. V6-24 estate, so dark green several people simply would not accept it wasn't black. S471 JDG. *sigh* I hope it brings you many years of happiness!!

Yep, as far as I can glean it's a straight swap! Hardly anything has the same pattern as the Probe, I couldn't believe it when I checked :happy:
It's looking like the car will be here early April now (one delay after another), but I'm sure it will be worth the wait!
