Looking nice Phil.

Any reason for the change? Or do you just prefer this top. Roll bar looks right at home there as well.

RPF1's + BD = car's looking more awesome than ever!
Keen to hear more about this soft top also, what prompted the change?
And where did you source the soft top cleaning kit from?

Just trying to make it look like an MSM as they got mohair fabric soft top from factory. As stated before, Ive always liked the fabric over vinyl.

Soft top cleaning kit came from the UK.

Front pipe is currently getting linished and ceramic coated.

Some pic's of the hi-flow IHI its almost complete.

15T wheel added and balanced. Advised not to crop the turbine wheel, as it will increase lag, reducing bottom end torque.

OEM housing

OEM wastegate port its 18mm, to be ported and new flapper to be added. To control creep

Dump pipe ceramic coated.
