So I took the car home for the first time on thursday night (apparently just in time for the snow! again...)

Turns out my issue with the car not revving was a fuel starvation issue. I topped it up with £20 and its all swings and round a-bouts again. It pulls like a train on steroids and no over fuelling issues. The software is spot on.  I will still take it down to Matt at United Motorsport for him to check over and make sure he is happy with it, but its not quite as urgent any more...

Got the wheels test fitted yesterday too with the final offset/widths. Up front will be tight but the rear there will be plenty of room. Hoping to be able to run a 10mm spacer up at the back. Hopefully having them built up and on the car ready for next prept meet - which I should make!

I have now bought replacement tyres, i've gone 40 profile all round in stead of 45 just for that extra little bit of room up front. If any one needs either 195/45/16 or 205/45/16 brand new, absolutely un touched  Toyo T1R tyres let me know as Il keep them rather than sending them back for a refund.

That looks wicked. 

p.s. How much for the set of 205/45/16 tyres?

[madmanluke]

Thanks mate.

Could do them for £125 collected but would need to know tomorrow since I will plan on having them returned on Monday.

Nearly there. Just a few things I need sorted and in my eyes, she will be 'finished' for now. Actually nice to have something where you can genuinely see the light at the end of the tunnel although ultimately as always it will never really be finished.
