Lukey. 381 Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 Looks like youve got good taste mate ;-)look familiar? lolim interested in this rear lock plinth, does it still retain use of the boot lock? can you unlock the boot from the outside with the key? Link to post Share on other sites
cornishvr6 52 Posted August 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 Ha ha yes quite alike, yes the rear plinth is a cult society one, still retains the boot button and lock but with this plinth it is concealed underneath and can still be opened with the key, if you want some closer pics then let me know and i will take some for you Link to post Share on other sites

cornishvr6 52 Posted September 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 First of all Just a couple of pics that i found on my phone from Dubs at the castle and Cornwall Jamboree. fun times Latest updateMy rear calipers had seen better days and decided not to work so picked up some replacements and gave them a coat of paint ready for fitting tommorow. Something else i have also wanted for a while.A milltek de-cat pipe arrived the other day (early birthday present from the misses)so hopefully will also have this fitted in the morning.and finally to start my collection of polished/chrome goodies over the winter a rear boot catch.

cornishvr6 52 Posted September 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 Heres a quick pic of the car getting its mot, just needed a front nearside abs sensor after i got my replacement rear calipers fitted, so now has a fresh mot, not bad for a 18 year old car. struggled a little bit on the ramps in the garage, managed to get it on with what looked like some old railway sleepers So with the new mot decided to fit my new lights and give it a quick wash and polish.

cornishvr6 52 Posted September 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 im unsure mate, the suspension was fitted when i purchased the car but when i have cleaned the dampers up its running some fk fronts and bilstein rears with lowered springs, im guessing 35-40mm....But also has some grayston spring assisters so when i take them out at the weekend it will sit a bit lower, i guess a previous owner fitted the springs and thought it sat too low Link to post Share on other sites
