    Thanks guys - getting there. Be lovely once it is all sorted in time for summer.

    Does anyone know which stereo model came in the 5 turbos in the 90s?

    Cheers.

    Um well that's open to debate but I think I'm right in saying the general consensus is the Pioneer KE 2090. (philips unit in the Raider)

    Another smart looking white five btw

    Pics not showing. The error says you've exceeded your photobucket bandwidth.

    I'd like to see them!

    shame i can't see all your photos but the new ones look good

    it may be my memory but is that the right cap for the expansion bottle? it's either blue or brown and i'm not sure which it should be (they have different pressure ratings and i'd hate to see your clean engine bay get covered in coolant)

    Jut had a quick scan...

    https://www.rtoc.org/boards/showthrea...=Expansion+cap

    Blue - 1.6bar
    Brown - 1.2 bar

    Brown should be fine for normal road usage.

    Got 2 new shocks, wishbones, track rod ends, front headlights, front indicators.
    What exhaust did you go with? I am after a new OE one for mine.

    It was about £300 depending on the exchange rate.

    I like that. Is it standard diameter? It must flow better as no centre box. I wonder if it is still quiet like the OE.
