[JamesLCR]

Me too lol.

 

[benrace91]

May purchase and keep my standard ones on for winter tho!

 

[jake]

After a standard engine cover if anyone has one

 

[D.K]

There was one in the for sale section

 

[D.K]

It's sold

 

[jake]

Was just about to say it's sold.

I just want to try the oem box. Had a look at my fuel trims and they were around +9

Now wether this is because the cars had a few miles on 97 Ron as I got caught short I dont know.

I may reset it and run some more vpower as it's had a tank through it now.

Jake.

 

[chrisr45]

Decided on a colour for the winters yet?

 

[jake]

Mite go white again. Been that busy I've not had chance to touch them lol

 

[chrisr45]

White would look good, Just leave them silver if your too busy, Oh Hoping to order my bumper trim this week or next

 

[jake]

that's good, which one though?

ive since fitted my oem airbox back on

car feels a little bit better low down, other than that not much different,

ive also got my plate back on now too

which is this (old pic)

and a set of rubber mats for winter

theres not much else I can do now really other than enjoy the car. I do sometimes wonder if a car like this is wasted on me, going back and forth between home and work, I seem to get 25mpg average lol

[Daniel M]

You're not thinking about selling again are you lol

 

[jake]

no lol, theres nothing that floats my boat

id love to go stage two etc but cant justify/afford the cost.

fuel pump, clutch and flywheel etc too much

I may look into new wheels to change it up, or just change the colour of these ones

 

[sambryant]

Stage 2+ dude. Seriously it's well worth the cost. It's not just the peak numbers, it's the entire power curve that's improved.

 

[jake]

Must admit seeing the torque figures weeg has is very tempting lol
