How comes 2x silver 5g's at home? Thought you only had the one?

Also, any idea whose the black/phantom 4g with (Hiro?) kit in the shop was?

I did ask if the owner of the 4th Gen was in the forum, but Rich wasnt sure. Nice looking car though 8-)

The other silver 5th gen is what I bought as a donor for the engine. The guy I bought it off was going to break it until I offered to buy the whole car. It's a bb8 SiR auto. The shell is rotten, can't even jack it up at the sills. But it did have some goodies on it as well as the red half leather interior :twisted:

No, I couldn't do that to my old pride and joy. It's still far too good a motor to break.

Starting to add a bit of colour to the engine bay.

I also managed to give the car a good polish with a dose of scratch x, so the kids artwork has now gone :lol:

Next up is to get my sounds installed, missing the bass line at the moment :(

Normally I would be saying "you went from JDM to UKDM = Downgrade"

But... as I have seen this car (salazar's old car) personally and touched it with my hands it's automatically an upgrade for you.. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Just over a thousand miles in since I got her back on the road, and it seems this prelude just wants to eat oil pumps :roll:

The oil warning light has started flickering on when the car is up to temperature and the revs drop to 1500 and below. Rev it back up and the light goes out.

It's doing the exact same thing as it did when the oil pump failed on Salazar, except for 1 difference, the engine sounds rough and is tapping quite bad :(

Well and truly gutted to say the least :cry:
