I don't know where this is going to end up...

Looks great. Love a Silver Mk3
Nice seeing one which has all the same shade of panel too!

Well… almost! The clear coat on front bumper keeps going hazy, it’s one of those things that once you notice your eye is constantly drawn to it!
 
That’s a great effort. Can’t of been many options for aftermarket exhaust on that model I’d imagine?

You’d be surprised - a few South Korean options and a whole bunch of US ones… quite a lot of Kia Stingers being modded across the pond. Problem is they’re so expensive, especially with import fees and taxes. I was really lucky and picked this up from UK distribution in a sale!
 
I swear this f*%king car is doing it on purpose!

Took it for a spin ahead of Bedford and funny gearbox noises ahoy… plus it felt like the LSD locked up at one point. So off to Alex for a gearbox oil check and it’s full of floaty bits of metal - argh!

I’ve had one track day and about 2,000 miles out of it… money down the drain.

Sorry to bring up bad memories, but I was wondering what diff you had, and what diff you moved onto? Ever find out what caused the failure?

It’s was a reconditioned 225 box with a standard R26R diff supplied by BeanieSport that destroyed itself. I went for the same again, but this time supplied by AW Motorworks. It behaves well on the road and track, so fingers crossed I get a few more miles out of it this time!
