Local guy only wanted the Blocks ! Suppose its better than nothing.
Messaged you mate :)
So yesterday i took the car upto Goodwood for a Porsche track event. Didn't take a camera sadly, but whilst i was there the car died :( Wouldn't even bump start !!!! Got my mate to take me home and...
I did a connects2 install guide if you search for it. OEM aux I think it's called.

Im pretty much resigned to the fact it will need another engine. Currently looking at storing it away for a while.
Had this all pretty much spot on for ORS yesterday. Had sorted the exhaust, cleaned it up nicely and put some finishing touches to the car. As it was going out on track fro the first time also i gave it a good check over last weekend and also Friday night. Topped up the coolant, topped up the...

Cut the cable out of the plastic and have the cable running over the top of the new ones. Iv done it to mine and screwed the sensor right up into the corner so you don't see the cable.
