Winner - POTM September 2018
Hi all
Welcome to my project thread of my recently purchased Albi Blue 197.
The car is a 2006 FF 197, with the only option being the projector headlights.
The car is on relatively low mileage at 77,000 and the bodywork is very clean for its age!

The car is simply a weekend/track toy for myself as I have a company vehicle and my wife has the larger car (which my dc5 was sold to fund [emoji22])
First thing first was to get the car jacked up in the air this evening to start giving it a quick health check over the next couple of evenings. First thing I found was a slight leak around the bell housing, which I’ve cleaned up and I will examine further tomorrow, but to my pleasant surprise I’ve found what I assumed was a completely standard car was not, it looks to have a toyosport exhaust manifold fitted.

(If you zoom in on the picture you can make out the “toyosport” plaque)
The rest of the exhaust system is completely standard and I have no warning lights on the dash, so I’d assume the car has had a remap/generic flash to remove the EML light that I guess would be present with the decat manifold.
I will continue my check over of the car tomorrow evening and the weekend, and then hopefully soon after some more interesting updates [emoji106]
