I'll be there.

Car is very clean, but it is quite a repair bill to fix it, and because there was an insurance delay, well, the courtsey car cost about 6 grand, plus the 2 grand car storage fees... So in effect, paying out the less than 2k, was tiny. Still got some bits from it/whole shell still atm(!) if you...

Sorry we're going our own.

I hit full boost earlier on, as shown on dyno's.

Moving closer to me would be good, sometimes lol. Mine ran 75hp at SRR, with decat, intercooler and on standard boost pressure, so would like to think yours is that, poss 80. Martin the decat doesn't change the noise at all IMO, my daily is decatted, doesn't sound any different.

Don't mooove! My wiring is pukka thank you very much lol. Glad its all sorted now though, proper job, probably the best sport rep now :(

Not started it yet, had other jobs to do first, got the doner car, plan to get it done next week now.

I dont speak english. I am gutted that I am unfortunately busy.

Guttingly I'm busy.

I'm happy to have a look sometime, I'm not too far away, Great Dunmow.

The Flame red 172 is mine, and that silver 1*2 was turbo or supercharged (more likely supercharged I think). Mine is a 1.9 DCi etc, and needs mapping atm so certainly not that fast yet.

As I said, I love it on these wheels, looks so stupid. Yeah I do need to trim that boost pipe, however I'm going to move the AFM once my K&N turns up, so going to do it then, in case I need to move that boost pipe at all. I did clean it Friday night! Yeah, kinda helped, need to sort the front...

Cheers @Christopher. :)

Wow, nearly a month since the last post. Couple of pics from when I was building the exhaust... I didnt get any pics with it welded, but its been on for a while now and its perfect. I could do with sorting a tip out, but I'll leave that for now as it'll act like a megaphone, on a already...

Billion times better on sportlines @GrahamS

I heard the word Filithy....

Need an alternator too? I have one?

Good progress sir, Have fun with the box, they are a right pig to take apart and put back together unless you do them everyday.

I didnt notice that mani didnt have a dent, the one I have here still has got a dent, I dont believe its caused by the ARB or subframe, its got to be factory, its too perfect and Ive seen it on loads, moreso later 182s. Good progress though sir, need to see this car at some point!

Duh, me/work. Leave it to me, if I feel the need for them.

Could be rod, or little end failure. Plus it could also be oil issue or similar.

I'm going to look into why Marks engine failed before I say fit ARP's. I know of plenty of engines that are fine without, and I suspect its not a bolt failure on Marks, but I shall see before I commite. Progress will start as soon as I have space for two cars, so could be a while!

If I can afford it, I'll try and get down.

Look nice, comfy too? Looks good on track, brakes are nice too lol. Some epic photos though!

Could be a s**t bearing then. Either risk it again with pattern, or IMO, the best option is genuine, which I think you can only buy the updated design now, which Is damn expensive!

Does sound a bit rough lol. Does it feel rough if you load it up the way it would be on the car?

Very nice! I don't think you'll regret that. Needs a small spoiler for sure, but I'm sure you already have loads of plans for mods, and making it super clean.

Has been some properly good progress made in such a short time tbh. Couple of bits... "Keeping it tidy", while the loom on the floor is a fooking mess. Sideburns need to go too, I look like more of a hobo than usual. I missed the sunglasses on that loom pic lol.

be careful with 100w bulbs, as you're doubling the amp draw (8amp to 16amp) and more than doubling the heat.

Not sure if the light would come on with an error, since I'm not sure how the EPAS controller works exactly, I thought about hooking up the diagnostics too it so I could see. I haven't actually sorted the live at all for it lol, I really should :/ I haven't had chance to find a plug for the...
