Looks like a nice base Whats the plans for it then?

cheers mate It will be rebuilt with the same spec i think... Street ported as it is now. cheers bud Thats the plan. Hopefully if i can save enough ill get her back with the new wheels too just in time for the good weather.

Small Update... Not a good one tho The fd has suffered water seal failure so a rebuild is needed. The car is pretty much undrivable atm so its going to be taken of the road so i can save for the rebuild. The chances are she wont be back before winter, which means im going to have to wait until next spring/summer times to get it back on the road... oh well!!!

Why dont you fire down a few layers of lacquer on the bumper to make it shiney? Just take your time and try spray evenly.

cheers mate

Defo mate, wheels will happen in time

Welcome mate

Cheeeers guys Appreciate all the kind words!!!

They can be found much much cheaper than £800 new. Im not sure if your getting confused with aems standalone units.

So got her back from the body shop a few days ago, decided to give her a good wash and head out for a few pics with the BGW... hope you like Cheers

Cheeeeeers shan!!!!

Thats the guy yeah, was having a poke around his time attack evo whilst he was mapping the fd ;) awesome thing! Im hoping for around the 400bhp mark, anything like that ill be more than happy I would go get a few shots now but shes still at the body shop, keep an eye on this thread and ill put some up soon

yeah mate really cant wait... she feels fast at 0.5 wonder what it will be like at double that Getting everything fixed just in time for winter aye lol hahaha. Shame you hardly drive it, im using mines as my daily atm and i love driving her everyday. Some good kills there mate, but with your power im not surprised really , must be seriously quick! My tuner is Russ Paton... dont know if you have heard of him but the guys a legend.

Yeah same skirts too lol, Ill make sure its strong enough, but thanks for letting me know because i doubt i would have really checked otherwise I dont have any bay pics atm, ive been meaning to get some for a while, Its running a t04e single tubby, however ive since been told it may be a t04s so i need to have a proper look. She is only mapped to 0.5 bar because i had problems with my external wastegate. All fixed now tho so just waiting til my tuner comes back from holidays then ill get some proper power runs done seen the power urs is running... must be an animal!

Cheers mate Im not sure what the body shop are going to do, ill have a look when i pick her up. I would like to think that if it was wobbly the the body shop would do something to stiffen it up. What front end you going for mate? I like the one thats on it... same as mine ;) lol Thanks bud like i said ill get some good ones up once its finished

Nice ;) just checked your car out on fduk... looks a minter.

Looks great per usual mate. What standalone you going for?

Heres a sneak preview from the bodyshop, I think this will look awesome with my new wheels De-wipered and the BGW! will get proper photos when all is done ;)

Cheers mate Hopefully a few more update coming shortly ;) Nice one wish i was getting a wage rise lol.

Cheers buddy and yeah man, daily driver. I figure why have a car you love and not use it ;) As for money, I'm far from being paid too much. Practically every penny I make goes into my cars lol can't help myself.

Cheers mate, im glad too, would not have been fun to rebuild her so soon. Just waiting for the nice weather and I'll get some more pics ;) lol

Cheers bud Tell me about it mate, these cars really dont like detonation. I think i was very lucky lol cheers

Ok so got her on the dyno today, had some problems. The map that was on the car (from Haward Rotary) was all over the shot. Around 5000rpm she went mega lean all of a sudden Must have been running very hot at times... Glad i got away with it . The lamda sensor was giving some wonky readings too hence the insane mpg figures i was getting Thats sorted now tho and the fuelling is spot on. I had problems with the external wastegate meaning that she wouldnt boost past 0.5 bar However since getting home ive had the wastegate off and back on again and re plumbed everything and now its working cor

Looks seriously awesome mate!!!! fair play

Yeah shell garage would have been the likely route lol, and cheers mate Yeah its not great bud lol, luckily i dont do many miles and i love having it as a daily driver so dont really want to get a runabout. Ill need to wait and see how the remap effects things lol
