my first saphy :) .... couple of new bit's added
evening all,
just thought i'd post up some pic's of my new car now i'v actually got it outside my house.
here's how it looked when i bought it... (morealess)
and how it look's now
i'v got a black rocker cover, carbon fibre cambelt cover, and a rs500 pro-alloy intercooler to go on yet, so i'll proberly be updateing this over the weekend or something
it's a stg 3, but i havnt got any dyno print out's unfortunetly, but when i can, i'll be taking it to torque of the devil for a health check and a dyno run, so should hopfully have some figure's soon.
unfortunetly, i havnt yet been able to use it... failed the 1st m.o.t on a few bush's, and then when it past on the re-try, i'd just pulled out of the m.o.t place and the brake's packed up ;( so i got to wait a wee bit longer until i get and new brake servo thing to actually have some fun with it... all good fun eh...? lol
but still, hopfully should have it at some show's this year, providing my walet can keep up with the car breaking lol
what y'all think anyway ??

The problem with your breaks could be down to the fact you have removed the turbo heatshield, which in turn will cook the wiring to the master cylinder pump, if your peddle has gone hard i would check the wiring and plug, plus check the fuse aswell, might help.
