She is looking well mate, glad your enjoying it. Yeah I did change the hot pipe over so possibly has just worked loose. Sorry to hear about the idle issue, this is the prob when it was only doing 7miles in to work, never got a chance to warm up properly.

Hi guys not much of an update but on saturday we met lee aka redz11 from off ukso as he had bought my rear boot lid spoiler and rear window mesh as i didn't really like them that much tbh he came down around 2.30pm and we got cracking swapping the parts over..



Didn't really take that long and both cars looked so much better afterwards so before lee went home we quickly went and got a few shots the weathers wasn't to good but they came out ok...




So more updates coming soon as parts have been ordered..

Had a few niggles lately which are annoying me so i wanted to tackle them this weekend but as what normally happens things aren't easily resolved so……I had a whining noise coming from what seemed to be the front of the car and when i checked i noticed there was no gasket from the hot pipe to the turbo and bolts were loose so i bought some gasket paper and made a gasket then upon inspection i noticed that there was so many nuts missing and nuts not tight like 2 bolts missing from the cat to turbo and 2 were finger tight :( then i looked and noticed the actuator was half hanging off the bolts were so loose then i had a final look and found out the turbo to manifold nut was missing arrrrgggggghhhh and there is no cir clip on the actuator where it attaches to the turbo so i have to find one of them as well it's been a nightmare..



So basically i tightened everything back up put some new nuts on new gasket put everything back together and the car idle is still all over the place and i'm getting a whining noise from the rear of the car on boost but i have a feeling it's a wheel bearing or it's the rear calliper as it's sticking a lot..



Last week i purchased some GT seats and when i removed the bucket seats i snapped the head off one bolt so i had a job getting the thread out and i had no drill. So i gave my grand pop a ring and he lent me one it's like the oldest drill i've ever seen ahaahahah but it did the job tried an easy out on the thread no luck though so ended up drilling as much out as poss and fitted a new bolt in took a while but it's sorted now..



been a mad weekend hoping for a better result but i have a few other things to do to sort the car it's just annoying me atm
