Default 4 months in the making... shes finally home :D

At long last I drove my car back from SCC today after a very delayed rebuild. Oh well its almost finished now (engine mounts are about to give up the ghost) so off to Karls on Saturday to be live mapped ready for the track day. I've booked off all next week to fit my roll cage, strut brace, twin headlights (pukka ones not the crappy morrette ones ) and a few other odds and ends before the track day.

- Big thanks to SCC for putting up with my car stuck in their garage for over 10 weeks
- Gary (Gadget) for doing the management change over (running sweet as a nut )
- and Karl for putting up with my constant bararge of txt messages askling questions :P oh and for providing the steel rods

Will post up some pics next week when its all finished. Might be taking her on the rollers next week as well to see if she is any quicker with less boost.

Dan

Gladyou finally got it back as it seemed as though it was there for an eternity.

Will be good to see how the mapping goes and whether it feels better all round to drive. Oh and then there's the chatter
