Josh@TunerLifestyle Posted August 17, 2011 Author Posted August 17, 2011 ritee not much but heres whats happened over the last month or so basically the toms front bumper was in bad ways so i decided to take it off to be repaired so i bought a standerd front bumper for £50 allready in white so wasnt too badheres how she stands:also got myself a new boost gauge because of the blitz one that came with the car had seen better days and the bulbs had gone in it,so i got myself a depo boost gauge thanks to james at cj performance he is a top bloke! had troubles fitting it and it ended up being a falty part but i spoke to him and he sorted everything out witch im grateful for new gauge:also thought the interiour was abit plain so had a play with my carbon fibre effect vinyl and wrapped my centre consoli know its not everyones taste but just thought it spiced it up abit!wrapped consol : also on the hunt for more boost! the chap who had it before me had a jam ecu on it and it created 206bhp with it on, but as he didnt sell it me with the car and i cant afford to pay that sort of money for one im going for the rrfpr and fcd route to get it settled in at 1 bar currently running 0.5 bar so should be twice the fun!heres the rrfpr i got :just need the fcd then im away!another thing I've forgot to mention is I've bought an inlet mani wich is currently at the polishers so will have my shine on soon next thing im buying isnt car related but full of jap goodness! i have a japanese style tattoo thats on my arm that covers my chest sholder and back and will be having that fineshed off before i carry on spending on the car will get some pics!!!there got it all out my system comments please guys! cheers!
