A very long overdue update!
Had a run in with a rather high kerb, the angle it hit meant my wheel took all the force don't think my tyre even touched the kerb
Luckily I have a few spares of the same wheel so for christmas I thought a colour change was due:
Standard christmas shot:
Didn't do much in the early part of this year aside from replacing my bootlid, 2 of the heating bars had broken and there was a bit of rust that had grew from removing stickers for le mans years ago:
Biggest pain was threading my old wires through the new bootlid as they'd just chopped off the wires at the hinge:
Done:
Returned to CC Tuning to see how much difference the cooler had made and tweak my map if needed:
183bhp and 319lbft, not bad for 145k old standard turbo and clutch, bonus was Chris had refined the map he does since I had mine mapped a few years ago so it drives even better now:
Decided to get some "normal" tyres 235/40 instead of the stretched 195/40s, I knew these weren't going to fit but had a plan up my sleeve:
