A bit slow on the uptake

I've just realised that I've never actually introduced myself to you good people on here :oops: Although I'm sure most of you will know me from Imoc.

Anyway. Here is my latest purchase. I found it at a decent price on Pistonheads because it had an electical problem that the owner could not track down. Once I got back smoke started to billow out of the alternator so I replaced this with a 2nd hand unit and the problem was gone :D

He's had a hit to the front bumper that I knew about and have just sourced a replacement bar for the front, for now he suffers from a lazy eye :wtf:

And the first thing I did once I'd fixed the discharge was to remove the stock exhaust and as I was after a duplex and following some previous pics from Ben I opted for a lotus Elise backbox (£10.50 from ebay) and a quick trip to Kent Car Craft where they worked their magic:

I love it, it's no louder than the stock box but does make a nice enough growl on full throttle.

Next plans are to get the car serviced fully ready for a session at RAF Woodbridge on 22nd May and get the engine bay cleaned ready for some shiney bits to be fitted including these (Thanks Cassi):

And finally sourcing a full suspension uprade for the near future and looking to Detango the sidelights and side repeaters.

Hiya and welcome, of course i already recognise your username :+:

glad you sorted the elec prob so easily. was worried when i started to read the post, as some elec gremlins are a real pain, esp if the loom has short somewhere....

the front bumper looks like the car has had a mini-stroke with a facial droop LOL

the exhaust is a great mod for the mk1, esp the price you can get them for :+:

nice cam covers :+:
