Baxxy has fitted a fuel pump for me as I was running a 1.6 pump!
Also the diverter valve is fitted!

New BBS CH reps thanks to Delta-Force!

Forge blanking plate is now on after the SAI was removed!


The rear helper springs are on the back calipers! Amazing how much of a difference they make!


Also removed the rear adjuster on the back so that it sat better. Looks so much better now.


I have bought a boost gauge just waiting for it to be delivered! More updates very soon!

Had my Bora clocks coded in and thanks to Mark (Delta-Force) for being a don and fitting my gauge!
The pod for the gauge I bought was the wrong one so the seller refunded me some money to put towards the correct one!
I need to change abs sensor and have my decat mapped out!

I bought some anniversary wipers - had them sprayed in gloss black, never seen anybody do this before, but I think it looks fresh!  :laugh:

Had a wrinkle black rocker cover done and bought some polished nuts.
The middle front stud is snapped as it was over tightened when the seal was changed recently (thankfully its not leaking)!
This bank holiday weekends job is to drill it out and replace with the new one!




Next on the list is to get the manifold to a mirror finish and change the red silicone pipe to a black one!

Well today I've put in new spark plugs:



NGK Platinum x 4

Added a TSI coilpack loom cover. Had to trim slightly but looks so tidy now.
I just need to tidy up injector plugs loom now!




And finaly got the snapped cam cover stud out without having to drill it, just put two nuts on top of the stud and loosened the bottom nut!



Also changed the anti roll bar drop links as the old ones were on the way out!
