  • MSD coil and hood painted

    I was able to get the stock coil pack bolts apart, so I could install the new MSD red coil pack. Looks very nice sitting in the middle of the engine bay. Also painted the under hood. Looks a bit more purple than the stock color, we’ll see how it looks when it dries. (crosses fingers)

  • New Plug Wires

    So I’ve owned the car just about 4 months, and today swapped out a part that I already had swapped out for a second time. (first was the John Cooper Works CAI for the ALTA one), today I removed my blue Kingsborne Plug wires in favor of red Magnecor ones. I actually like the texture of the previous ones better (kinda fabric, vs smooth silicone now). I have a red MSD coil pack, but need bolts.

    • BEFORE:
      Blue Wires
    • AFTER:
      Red Plug Wires

    I was going blue and black under the bonnet, but decided I want it to look like a Dragons innards under the hood, so all red hoses and chrome now 🙂

  • Under Bonnet

    Just finished detailing the engine. Added red silicone tubing for the washer hoses. I’m pretty happy with how things are looking now.
