Ok bit of an update. Put the cooler on with a small mod to the 30 piping by Josh at Metalcraft. Sprayed the piping for stealth and hooked up the bov which im not to sure about atm. Front eyelid got sprayed to match and thought i may aswell repaint the calais skirts. Window switch decided to stop working in the drivers side for both windows got a replacement, tested the windows fine, next attempt passenger window ****ed itself! I want winders! Turbo timer fitted while all this was going on. Im unsure where im going with the car but have a couple of things on the way so will update again shortly. Cheers Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Must be time for an update... Put a single stage boost controller in a while ago and changed my mind on the boost gauge and went with the z series in the usuall spot in the dash. Also had my monster tacho/shift light wired up to put on the pillar to find out the reading doesn't work was in two minds with this anyway so no gauge. Picked up a safc2 to help with the boost and after new plugs and some exhaust work have seen a good improvement after tuning. A clutch is next on the list as im thinking it may be showing signs of wear. (Any idea on what it has currently Dayne??) I was going to go all out this year on the setup etc but im considering letting it go in the near future Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
