Few more pics of the car. Shamelessly stolen from D.K's thread :) we had a bit of a snow foam orgy the day before the AmD rolling road day

Thanks buddy. These cars are high maintenance that's for sure but worth it when they are looking and running right :D

Indeed they are dude. Wanted to give it some on the way home but the TIP slipped off & now after re-fitting the bitch won't start!!

Can't get enough of the wheels though suit the car to a T :)

Hmmmmm that's a odd one why it won't start after that. You ever get vagcom working in order to scan it?

They seem to be going down well. It's crazy how different the colour of the wheels come out in pics. Still love them though. Don't care how sad that sounds lol

What a interesting day. So I decided I'd quickly have a look and see whether any of the lower intercooler hoses have come loose. I took out the drivers side fog light grill and started looking around. Whilst there I spotted some rather interesting..........can anyone spot it in the below pic?

It's my shiny throttle body cover which recently decided to jump ship. I couldn't be bothered to jack the car up and take the undertray off so decided to take the Jeremy Clarkson route of fixing things:

Managed to get it out but it's going to need polishing up as its got a bit scratched up and looking a bit dull at the moment.

I continued to mess about with the car and re-jiggled a few bits like the n75 etc. All of a sudden whilst driving to the park I got a massive load of boost. Now I know what it feels like to drive a vtec :p My thinking, although unproven yet, is that my n75 is playing up. I'm not sure if the position of the n75 makes any difference I.e. if it needs to sit in a certain way etc. Reason I'm thinking the n75 is going is because all of a sudden the car is hitting too much boost, 1.8 bar so a bit worrying to be honest. This happened before when the n75 went, was fluttering up to 2 bar boost and I changed it. After that it was good as gold. Will run some tests another day before jumping on to the buying spree wagon, weather was too nice today to be messing about with cars :)

Looks like there is some use for them after-all ;)

Thanks for the compliment on the cars. Only went for a MOT, I thought he was joking when he said we taking some pics lol

I think you did well to break it equally each side looks alright

Least I had some luck that day. Everything else went a bit tits up to be honest
