Had the car back for a few days now, thought I should post up some pics

If anyone was folowing the problem with the car, turned out to be the ECU, changed by omex for free in the end.(much thanks)

New setup with jenvey ITB's

How much did all this work damage your wallet philthy?

Not going to post exactly how much but cost a fair amount, I had most of the good stuff fitted already, the money was in the bodies and mapping.

So you can remove a structural safety aspect part of a car and it isnt an mot failure?
