Default MOT'd the car today, which can mean only one thing.....

...... It's been on the road a whole year since I built and mapped the engine, without problems!!! lol

Very satisfying feeling to know that my efforts have paid off and it's all still working well a year down the road, been used daily too!

It took a couple of years of fucking about, but I soon realised the only way is to do it once and do it properly, also fucking about with second hand parts or engines that are supposed to be 'good' is also a big waste of time (unless you know the seller) so many twats selling shite! lol

Good work Karlos. Always maintained these cars are perfectly reliable as long as you are not a pikey.

mines been dragging on for years! always having something crop up or something else to do. on it like a tramp on chips at the minute. trying to take a look at the bigger picture and get it all done right.

try not to get used bits unless i have no choice, its a mine field out there. lol
