Lots done recently.

Handbrake cables changed, I can finally do J turns again  :grin:

Oil changed, ready for next rolling road day in less than 2 weeks

Gearbox mount changed, was clunking on reverse

Exhaust no longer touches the axle, however I've discovered a blow in a silencer so I'm thinking of getting a completely new system

Removed the whole emissions canister setup, made a nice big hole for a new ramair cold air pipe I'll be fitting to the lower grill, will provide more than enough air as well as the fog light cold air intake too

Next on the list is exhaust....I bought a lovely looking stainless steel centre section and seller told me it's 55mm....Got it and it was a 50mm one  :angry: So that's currently up for sale and I'm back on the lookout for a replacement.

Next rolling road day?  Have you done more to it that will change the output?

Got a few ramair cold air intakes coming in the next few days, but otherwise no. I'm debating getting a new exhaust though....

New cold air intake setup.

80mm from the bottom air itnake and 50mm from the foglight, they both fit just perfect  :smiley:








Only the dyno will tell if there's an improvement  :smiley:

Did you take the dash out when you swapped in the 16v?

Cheers.
