Sorry i havent been around as of late but been very busy getting married lol
Well after finding a lot of things wrong with my sx i found it very difficult to fall in love with so i fixed the major issues mot'd it and tidied it up then sold it. Didnt go for a lot but made a small profit so thats all good. It got picked up yesterday evening and an hour later i was picking up my new toy

Its a gtst spec 1.5 and has been owned by a very good friend of mine. He is a professional painter and has repainted the car in ford focus RS green but with a slight difference to the base coat to make the colour stand out more. Mod wise it has had basic breathing mods and an intercooler so i will be looking to colour code and tidy up the engine bay sort some electrics out and get a boost controller and a remap done.

I am already in love with the car and it is a joy to drive

Couple more pics

It is currently an auto but that will get sorted soon and the interior needs bringing to life with some green and black paint along with my usual led light conversion to brighten the dash up from its current sad state

It needs a bit of tidying up electrically and in the engine bay but the shell and chassis could not be cleaner

Well got a few bits sorted to start with on the car.

First off i fixed the lights in the rear 'skyline'panel so it now actually says skyline not sky lol
Then i cleaned and added sealant to the boot sills as they were leaking into the boot which is a common issue
I have also started to sort the interior and the awful wiring on it. I have fitted a nice jvc double din head unit (that lights up green) and have worked my magic on the dash lights making them all green as well. Next up is changing the interior headlining bulbs to white so they actually light stuff up.
I also got some super spark coilpacks as i was getting a misfire at higher revs and it nows drives so much better and boosts a lot better so guessing the existing packs were on there way out.
Will get some pics of the changes up soon
