Right so after a few hours of swearing and scraped knuckles managed to get the ct12 on!

Proud considering nobody was around to help and it's not something I've done before haha!

Only thing holding up it being completed is the oil feed line from the ct9 is too short so I'm awaiting a braided one from race-tech!

Will be running it on the standard ct9 actuator and standard tmic for now until it's through its mot next week!

So this finally arrived with 3 days to spare...

Oooooh Shiny :)

Got the car all back together before priming the turbo and a coolant change!

Then took her out to see what the Ct12 could do!

Goes well even at stock boost! A lot different to the ct9 and I'm eager to see what it can do with the boost raised a little higher! But all in good time :)

Old fecked ct9! Not sure what to do with it.....

Also she passed her mot with no advisories!!

Not too shabby for a 22 year old car eh!

Time to order some goodies!

Roll on Japfest!

Was a good weekend although it took me a while to find the ukstarletowners stand!

Plans have changed and wanting to go a more OEM/JDM/Jap setup!

I bought a white race spec cover but not sure if it will fit with the rx7 tmic :(

Managed to get the blitz hot pipe, Arc tmic and rocker cover fitted!

Looks so much better now!

Also painted the tmic bracket in wrinkle black to blend in but it's not fitted in this pic!

Been contemplating selling up but managed to convince myself otherwise!

Ordered new rear discs,pads and wheel bearings so hopefully they should be here and fitted before end of the month.

Hopefully get this list of things sorted before end of the year:

Rear wheel bearing/disc/pads

New rear light(condensation in mine due to crack)

New exhaust or flexi (blowing at the flexi)

Front discs/pads

Wing/bonnet/front bumper painted

Lower arm polybushes

Braided brake lines

Tyres (getting close to the limit)

So decided while the weather was nice to crack on with changing the rear discs,pads and bearings.

Nothing special just some Oem discs and ebc ultimax pads!

Tadaaa lol

Also bought a custom axle back backbox with 3" tailpipe to quieten down the exhaust... Fitted it but I don't like! Annoying as the japspeed is too loud for my liking!

So I'll swap that back over!

Needs a service so will be doing that in next few weeks along with cleaning and re underselling the arches and sills! Just to get her ready for winter!

Can't decide wether to keep or sell this! Need to keep motivated tho!

Got a Wepr power up kit to fit so going to get the turbo off this weekend and get the wastegate welded shut!

Hopefully clean and re-underseal the sills while I'm there!

It's not pretty but it works!

Sounds lovely aswell! Old crappy eBay downpipe had a big crack in it aswell as was blowing from the join to the exhaust!

Fmic I bought months ago wasn't going to fit without a good big of modification so had to throw on the arc tmic and not going to lie I like it!

Not taken her out yet as need to order the bits for the intake as the relocation kit I had on is now too big to fit in.

Managed to pick up some new wheels for cheapish as the advans needed new tyres and 2 need refurbished ideally!

15x6.5 Rota MSR's

Paintwork is starting to get more and more tired with one front wing being pretty bad! So weighing up my options! Full respray is out the question due to cost but may look at short term options like Matt/satin colours but I'll worry about that in a few months time.

Car also passed it's mot first time with just advisories for the front tyres (advans), oil leak and condensation in the rear light.
