You get a much deeper tone with the HPS in place, especially once the 2nd intake opens up. Had mine on since the week after I had the car so can’t really comment on throttle response but the car sounds much nicer, lots more induction noise with the HPS in place. Apparently they are less of a heat magnet than the metal ones but i’d always assume the metal or hard plastic ones would deform less under load. they are nice bits of kit either way!

You could try and polish that but I'd not be expecting great things! Plastic does not tend to buff up well.

Was talking about that with my wife last night. I'm sure geotagging is turned off as standard on most phones and I'm not sure it would survive the upload process. Thankfully all mine were taken outside Big Rat's house with my house photoshopped into the background. #parkitsomewhereelseforaweek

I take it you've not been outside yet. Yours is the black one, recently stolen from Coventry

I can see this being my favourite thread ever.

Had you down as a Waitrose guy!

Such a shame, I was just about to send him £8,000 repatriation money to secure my winnings in the Namibian Lottery. what am I supposed to do now?

I thought as much. Didn't like the "show us your cars" request when there are plenty of other posts already showing this. Only one step way from "show us where you keep yours locked up"! Incidentally, let me know when you are next going to be out and where you keep your valuables!

Where has the post gone about Shahid's new GSF? I'm getting some new floor mats for the ISF off ebay and the seller turns out to be Coventry Lexus. I had a call off them today confirming my postal address and mentioned that I'm a member of the forum (to see if I could get a further discount) and that we had the new owner of their black GSF on here. The guy was a bit surprised as he said he was looking right at the car as we spoke, it's still on the forecourt yet to be sold....... Shahid, you might want to check your VIN numbers. Looks like you've bought a ringer

Could be wrong but it looks like Lam Le’s old car. He’s a pretty well known ISF you-tuber who has posted a lot about his car (he rose gold wrapped it at one point). His made up tuning brand is Kanstandlam Garage and the car in the review has the KG sticker in the same place as Lam Le’s car did/does. Could be wrong but it’s an identical car and spec. They are a little more common stateside.

Two weeks old apparently! good from about 6.30 onwards

Like it!! I'm assuming the tinting is on the outside of the lenses? Not a "bake them open in the oven and tint the insides" job?

Looks niiiiice! Best colour too!!

Looks ace! Crystal Clear

It was tough to let it go. Really hid the dents!

+1 that the road noise will be tyre related. Sold my old R32 as I was convinced there was something wrong with it due to loud whining noise at all speeds. Drove it again after a friend bought it from the dealers I'd shopped it in at (had no idea he was after one) and with only the tyres being changed the noise had gone. Couldn't believe it!

And you thought I was destroying that ISF!

A few of us getting it built back up. Can't seem to find the folder with all the finished article shots in it but hopefully these give an idea of how it's ended up. Hope you enjoyed 'em! Now back to ISF's

First coat of pure brilliant white (not Dulux!).

All filled and smoothed and in the first coat of stopper.

All the various bumps and scuffs along with the annoying bump strip and all the joins between bumper and bodywork have been fibre glassed, filled and fully smoothed-in so the only obvious joins are the doors, bonnet and bootlid etc. Everything else is smoothed-in.

Border Front Bumper and Rear Spats fitted and fibre-glassed in place to prevent cracking of the full-smoothing job that was to come next. The car came with the side skirts already (badly) fitted, can't remember the name of them, it'll come to me. As you can see, a fair few dents filled and smoothed too. We also decided to remove, fill and smooth the factory bump strip that ran all the way down both sides.

Forest Green 1990 MR2 G-Limited, rust free but full of dents, bought on eBay for £480. Here it is stripped and ready for work to start with a few previous botch jobs visible. Came with a full decat Magnex Exhaust and a load of HKS under bonnet trickery already in place. x

Now then all. Merry Chrimbo! Just letting the Turkey settle and thought I'd treat you to some true automotive creation (or destruction, as I'm sure some will think ). When I was 26 I had the opportunity to buy the car I wanted when I was 17 and with the help of one of my dearest friends (Richard Brown of RJ Brown Motor Repairs - Kirkbride, Cumbria) turn it into something I'd only ever dreamed of owning. I still have the car although it is soon to be up for sale (currently in having a new petrol tank fitted) as it never really gets driven any more. So.... in the haze of turkey, stuffing and roast everything...... cast your mind back..... remember the car you dreamed of owning when you were a boy and imagine getting the chance to do a proper Fast and Furious job on it! Enjoy!!
