I like how you can see the pipework on the left....i'd want mine BRIGHT blue.
Did your clutch need replacing or was it just down the wanting more holdability?
After the full drive tonight, having fixed the boost leak.. It needed doing!
The new one is unbelievably better though, the power is instantly there on changing, really sharp! Worth every penny.
Now the ECU seems to be coping quite happily, and it's definately made a noticable difference!!
Oh, and pipework, aiming for subtle (Few exterior bits to do, just re-colouring), and my calipers are already red, thought it may have looked a bit out of place!

i nearly fell outta bed reading the price of the clutch dave, u have been spending your hard earned cash.
But its all for the smiles per miles that you get outta your car.
only money can burn it but cant take it with u .

Its going on awesome's RR mate yeah will have the new boost pipe on so should be boosting, its more of a "is it ill" test rather than a performance RR figure im after on the day You going to awesome then?
You going to awesome then?Yep, 100% be there, not a big journey for me really (I work less than a mile away from them when i'm at the Irlam site!).. And if my ARB doesn't arrive tomorrow I'm hoping it'll be in then to pick up
Look forward to the day, be nice to meet a few more people from SCN

^^ Good job you weren't running, I didn't end up going, dragged to Leics to see 2 friends haha. Manc meet is all good though
Had a run in with a big rock whilst I was turning round! Last night!
Left a virtually missable mark on the rear bumper.. PAH! .. Touch up should sort it (Shows how irrelevant it is really), just one of those annoyances.
Car is definately pulling stronger with the FMIC, I think that with experience driving in ice over the past few days has probably persuaded me to leave the TD2 until next year - The handling doesn't seem good enough to put up with the extra power now, never mind with that thing! (Though if anyone has had a hybrid the winter and not had a problem, do tell!)
Still waiting for the ARB from Awesome, cruise control from PSI, and will probably order the new brakes from the TT shop this week..
No pics on this update I'm afraid

My car is smoking badly due to a boost leak, but not sure how down it is on power, still was gaining visable lenghts on a remapped PD130 earlier today
Right - Updates!
Whiteline Rear ARB went on a few days ago, wow, what a difference! Unbelievable from before! So much more confidence in the car, still managed to scare mum doing all of about 10mph though
And.. She was a bitttt dirty!
So I gave her a quick clean+wax
Job to try and do tonight is the LCR splitter, just depends whether there's any self tappers about
