Thanks :)



Not much happening this end at the moment. Money situation has put the car on hold currently but I'm looking to get by...

There have been a few times where I've considered giving in and selling up to free up some cash madly... but after all the money work and effort thats been put into I'd rather have an alligator bite my **** off.

I'm planning on going up with the car to TDF towards the end of March and go from there. Although Fred and Sam @ BTM have done a great job putting the replacement lump in without a map and a serious re-wire as far as tracking it and any given hard abuse is concerned I can't help but look at it as a paper weight :(

At the end of the day it all boils down to money, but I refuse to let it put a smack on my spirits and watch this space for some progress hopefully soon.


Bloody car

I know how you feel but I know if I sold now I would only end up doing it all again so a false economy really,you just have to stick with it and try and be patient which I am not lol.

Car looks great.

Yes patience is something I'd like :D. Thankfully I've manged to sell on a few bits and get the rest of the cash together. Car is going in to TDF this coming Saturday for the final engine work:

New engine loom
EC1 engine management
Mapping
Fitment of B14 suspension and full geometry.

Gave it a clean also as it was hanging from just sitting about.

Thanks Jonny. Really interested to see what numbers it makes this time round with a healthy engine. It'll all be worth it in the end, it's just been too long lol.

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner

Loved it before, even with the cheese grater spec engine, but I just honestly f**king love it now - makes me want another :)

In fact I feel I must drive it...

Such a nice looking car when clean, great colour combo for sure.

When it goes as well as it looks you'll be onto a winner ;)

That a p4p rear screen? What's it like for getting misted up with not being heated?

Not as bad as you might think, I've not had a problem when I've had to use it in the mornings. Depends how good the rest of your rubbers are though ;)

LOL It's a great toy James but it's not half as hardcore as yours! It's not really meant to be though really :)
If you ever fancy a swap though let me know? ;).

Good news, looking at those p4p screens you were telling me about on your car, hard to tell the difference between them and standard :)

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner

Well today has been eventful, rear offside shock has completely collapsed (just as well I'm getting the B14s fitted by TDF). But a bit pissed as have to drive 100 miles in it tomorrow to get there lol.

Anyway on the way back to work I'm a bit cheese off...doing the speed limit on an open single carriage way. Mr big shot comes HAIRING up behind me in a B6 S4 and came out to overtake. Now in hindsight I know this was a tad silly, but it's a huge stretch of road. So I just went for it...

Yeah, my car is quick :) LOL


Sorry but if I'm doing the speed limit I don't appreciate people spoiling my scenic view.

That will be the strangest 100 miles you'll drive with a knackered rear shock!! They handle like a camel in snow shoes when you hit a bump! Lol!

Hero. I done this after a Focus ST over took me and got caught by plod just after :/

Wheels nuts look sweet :) I'd love blingy little bits like that, but i'm tight and prefer spending my money on things that make my car go faster, like ITB's as my first mod on my cup! :eek:

Never! Well depends how tomorrow goes ;)

Lol Lewis. Yeh I totally didn't understand why he felt the need. It was clear enough but I wasnt going slow. Down into 3rd and just pulled. I was pretty impressed really. Don't think he was but I just thought "eh no you don't"

Got a nice bloke in an A class on the way home asking what power it was. I said I had no idea LOL. Think it was a diesel, was pretty nip!

LOL did the same thing in mine against an S4 the other week - he was the typical "suit hanging from rear window" type and decided he was going to destroy a little Clio - lmfao yeah ITB'd clio's aren't slow hahaha

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner

I'm not expecting huge figures because of the nature of the build. It was a relatively low mileage ph1 from a breakers. Which appears to be in good health and checked over, but you can never tell. I'd be chuffed to see over 210hp and 165ftlbs +. Considering it hadn't been live mapped it definitely didn't seem to hang about.
