Benny Banks has broken his car after an engine failure and donated me 2 brand new silicone pipes for the n75 and diverter valve. Cheers for this Ben!
Baxxy collected these for me so a big shout out to Baxxy.

Not in to the red but they were free, I have ordered some black silicone tape and I am wrapping all of the pipes so they will look oem.

I also am going to tidy up the injector loom it is so untidy!



Also got some anniversary pedals.

Had some issues with the car recently.
It cut out on me whilst driving and whatever it was killed my Ecu.
It had been dropping the map when starting up and many times I had to turn the engine off and back on for it to load the map.

Thankfully between Baxxy and aRd ray they hooked me up with a new Ecu and got me started again.

Ray tested my Ecu and said that it was toasted.





Baxxy came to the rescue and fixed all the problems, thanks for this man.

Car ran ok for another week before cutting out on me again. It wouldn't start again and I was ready to break the car.

RAC man came out, and found this short on my electrics, fixed it, replaced a fuse, and she started.
Tipped him some money because without him actually looking into the issue, I would have stripped the car.



The mad thing about my car dying on me, was I had just picked up some brand new xxr 527 alloys with brand new tyres. I was gutted at the time and actually sold them whilst waiting for the RAC to come, luckily it was to my best mate so he was fine when I said I am keeping them haha.

Happy as a pig in $h!t.

Quick update!

Brand new ball joints! Had to grind one side off as the Alan key part had rounded off!
Big Ste and his grinder to the rescue.



Also fitted colour coded / delock door handles!





Looks much cleaner now just need rub strips.

Bought a remapped Ecu since my last one apparently died.
It's been mapped by AMD Essex and has print outs showing just over 220bhp.
Going to get this coded in and get my car on the rollers in the near future.

First on my list before this is to replace the half moon seal (which is leaking oil) and plum in my catch can after it's been resprayed.

Still got loads of bits and bobs laying around the house which will be out on just finding the time seems to be the hardest part !!!
