Many months have passed, here's what I've been up to...

After getting the Miltek 4-1 @ Ford Fair last year, I had another package delivered by the friendly UPS man.

In the box was the rest of the exhaust, so after 6/7 years I've finally finished the exhaust system!

I then decided to upgrade the battery and move it to the boot. I went for an Odyssey PC950 after speaking to the good chaps at MDS Battery, also got a Ctek maintenance charger to deal with the battery going dead after prolonged time in storage, needs to be plugged in all the time but thats fine for me.

Moving it to the boot meant I needed to buy a mount but I couldn’t find one I liked so I made my own

The car recently got treated to a mapping session at Track 'n' Road, it made 180bhp and 151 ftlb. Not a great deal in the grand scheme of things but it drives really well. Was a happy day.

On the outside, the bonnet is still black as there is always somewhere else to spend the money...

Next on the list are some new tyres, probably a set of Federal RS-R’s. Then it’s time to become acquainted with Brands Hatch

Thanks for reading,
