got a fuel leak, grr.

pump seemed to be well passed its best so i let liam raid it to get his rinning. sourced a replacement and that is now leaking. turns out the (original) filter is cracked , not a problem with the pump!

anyway, thanks to liam for being nice to me despite a hangover. we should be rolling soon...

Could be worse, you could have a mk3 petrol gearbox

not updated this in a while...

replacement fuel pump ended up faulty and a further replacement took forever to arrive so the car sat for ages. while it was off the road I replaced the front pads (discs are still fine\) and rear discs, pads and bearings.

got it all sorted now so rolling again.

stumbled upon a set of 17" RH wheels really badly listed on ebay so snapped them up. I was initially going to move them on as a cash generator but actually quite like them in the flesh.  tonight i whipped the porsche wheels off and fitted these.  they are et40 so pplenty of tuck - makes the back end look totally different after the poke of the boxster rims.

i think they suit the car. what do you think??

I think they look a bit on the large side for a mk2 tbh. Each to their own though.
