Nothing that exciting today, woke up and decided to clean the belts for work as it was long overdue!
Going to order my intake today :) and think about a PMS shifter....
Continues...
So as you can see Chris did a great job and the PMS exhaust system is lovely extremely good quality. Only think i might change is to go for the 3.5 inch tips to fill the bumper a bit better. The sound just has a bit more depth to it at low revs and sounds nice at high revs...
Today was a fun day! I have been all excited because my exhaust arrived, i had the car booked in with Beaniesport for fitting. I must say Chris is a great guy loves to have a chat with you, very knowledgeable with great workmanship. I would highly recommend and will use again for sure. When i...
I'm not sure if i'm bored of it, i just want a bit more response from down low really and a bit more torque. I think the cams with the other mods are relatively cheap way to get a little boost and then i can save for a turbo once i have changed the brakes, suspension and a load of other stuff...
Well it should be relatively easy to fit them as far as i'm aware its a straight swap and just have to advance the timing by 8 degrees on one of the cams i think. @NorthloopCup is the man in the know i have been told. Hoping to gain around 10bhp, but more interested in the torque increase. With...
This morning I woke up early to go and meet @mattsouthall to collect my cams. He was kind enough to meet me on his way to work and we had chat for a bit, thanks! When i get to work I should have my exhaust :)
Your evil.....
Anyway more exciting updates, I think i may have lost my mind slightly. Tomorrow I will be picking up some low mileage 197 cams :) and my exhaust will be delivered. Very excited, Chris is going to fit my mounts and exhaust on Saturday. I have since emailed Andy about the cams and...
Me and couple mates use these, great price and has everything you could need really.

The price basically, also as ED had done the belts for it not long ago thought it would be best to ask them, not that I don't trust Chris. I'm excited to see how he gets on doing the exhaust and mounts and as he is close by i will probably use him for more jobs in the future.
I would definitely recommend doing the full kit. The dephaser wears making a noise and might as well change the water pump. Also might aswell do a full aux belt kit because if the aux belt snaps that can take the cambelt with it. The whole job including parts could be anywhere between £500-1k...
Best way to do it is plug in a code reader, they are relatively cheap at £25/30 each, but don't replace them before you have checked the plugs first and plugged it in.
Ha ha i have already been through your thread so I have seen the links, what did you cut the silicone with? Just i have heard so many great things about EFI, I haven't really heard much about the remapping at ED, but maybe that's worth a shout.
Yer mine has come back but only at certain times/sides I will clean the bulb holder and the electrical connector to see if that does it once and for all.
UPDATE TIMEEEEEE
Apologies as I am quite excited, I have been ordering a lot of parts recently and trying to organise everything so this...
Just to keep @OssPoop happy ;) I decided to do a headlight restoration today. I ordered the bits i needed during the week (AG Headlamp Resto Kit, Tape and sealer). The lights looked OK from a distance, but were quite poor on closer inspection.
First thing i did was grab the de-greaser and...
Bit of a blow this morning :( I have parts arriving at my work and today i received the new power steering pump so I was all excited. I then had a reply to my PM from Mick at Diamond Motors and he said that he wouldn't be able to fit a pump that he didn't supply as the tolerances are so small on...
