well i decided to strip the interior and make things to my own taste.

since last update:

-took the carpet and rear interior out

-removed sound deadening on passengers foot well

-hi/low button now is a manual rad fan button as i dont use hi and low.

-fitted trs tow strap

-cored holes for the fmic to get more air

-lowered the car 20mm at back and 25mm at front

-removed aircon gubbins

-sprayed intercooler piping matte black

-sprayed laguna splitter matte black

-painted calipers black

-fitted new rear discs, pads, bearings and a reconditioned caliper.

-removed canards

-fitted trd sunstrip

-raised rear of bonnet and removed rubber strip

things im doing in the future:

-get management and map it at 1.4bar

-improve downforce

-make her lighter

-6pot k-sport font brakes and braided lines all round

im taking her to knockhill in august so she should be ready, do bits each night to her unless im working.

well im trying to get funds to buy the injectors then ill buy an emanage blue till funds allow a stand alone, so hopefully in about 2months max itll be mapped.

was thinking of going to nick at td as its £210 for emb mapping, and there cheap enough to get.

where are you planning on going to get yours mapped?

nice, should produce a nice power figure, with less lag than me. what boost are you going to run, i read somewhere the vf23 i got only runa 20psi of boost, like 1.4bar, meant to be like 340bhp at that but i dont know.
