Tinted my European rear lights, they look really dark in the pictures but the bulbs can be seen very clearly when on:

I also have some new purple roll bar padding added to my rear strut brace

23 August:

Just had word that the Ka made 150bhp at 8psi, not too bad considering I have no cooling system due to the chargecooler pump knackering a few days before mapping.

Also couldn't run 10psi as the boost controller didn't work, so once I get that and the cooling sorted I can take it back for some more tweaks. The guy who mapped it said that once the cooling is sorted I can get more power He also said it drives really nicely and feels like you're driving a Ka with a 3.0 in it. Lol

Can't wait to go collect it now and looking forward to driving it. At least now it's safe for me to drive and although not as much power as we'd originally planned, it'll do for now

28th August:

Picked the Ka up on Sunday from mapping.

I took a 5 1/2 hour (and quite eventful) train journey on Sunday to collect the Ka. There are so many strange people on trains on a Sunday

Had an awesome drive home in it and its loads of fun

I saw a few people I recognised on the Severn Bridge on their way back from the Sweetshop Automotive event at Krispy Kreme in Bristol. Lol
