Did you use spacers for the rear? You have to so I assume you did.

I'm curious too. About to send mine out to get rebuilt.





I took my 2.5yo out for a road trip today. The expression when boost hits is priceless

Purchased this 2004 6 Spd cab off of BAT last fall with about 69,000 miles. Drove it back from Dallas to southern Georgia in 2 days, 1,200 miles with no issues (well ... if you don't count the cracked windshield from a rock hit about 400 miles from home). It didn't have much for previous maintenance records, so working through the basics to get it up to date.

Bought to keep this British GT company.



I've replace rotors and pads with Sebro slotted and Hawk pads. The original cross drilled rotors had many micro stress cracks around the holes. Previous owner had just installed new Michelin Pilot Sport N3s.
Also cleaned the radiators.


Repaired the leather on driver seat that was cracked from lack of care


Cleaned the throttle body, replaced the fuel filter and yesterday I changed the oil. Fortunately had no problems removing the drain plugs from turbo reservoirs.

Still to do - Plugs and coils, change diff and transmission fluid and coolant, water pump. Have 1 leaking ram for the roof so need to send it off for repair and 1 leaking ram for the wing. It's not bad yet and will likely live with it for a little while until I can replace with an eRam system.
Want to replace the exhaust and get a tune, however recently purchased a 2nd house so most of my free time and $$ will be going into it for a while. First world problems.....

How about offering the full synthetic A40 approved Mobil 1 5W50 as an option as well? That's what I run during summer months....
