nick- heres hoping hey!!! 
the piller pod was from NOMAD 
its a good one too, and yes the bay parts will be getting crackled NOT OTT just few parts think you can go too far doing everything in 1 colour or finish...
but basically i'm looking at the header+breather+catchtank+steering res+thermos housing thats it rest will be done different 
...
carl- the car was on the WORST springs you have ever seen these are low anyway really but they were so bad they made the rear bottom out and caused my prop to be damaged
, hence me fitting leda springs i would never reccomend anyone lowing a ecoss more than 10-20mm as i believe it puts the drive shafts on strain remember it was this height for a reason but my springs now are 10mm lower than std i think on the rear? thats it

Don't make me say "Told you so" about that clutch 
As long as it's the clutch slipping and not the gearbox exploding, because that'll be your issue before too long if you get a clutch that's man enough and start giving it beans. If it were mine and I wasn't going to uprate the gearbox and get a good clutch, I'd wind the boost down till the clutch could juuuuust hold onto it in most situations.

the issue here is , i told mark when i forst gave him the car it has a std clutch in it i think!? So i said if he maps it and it slips before we get to the power we want, contact me just to tell me then replace it with a AP one so we can get the best out of it.... i mean what is the point having all this done and then skimping??
So it will have the clutch changed for a organic one (which mark recommends is good for 400bhp+nos so will be fine on mine) and then the car will be mapped again so it will have 1.5BAR low boost, 2.0BAR full boost
and he can finish the full throttle feature too Still it may be ready for the weekend just depends on the parts and time etc
....got the bill too

ok picked up the cossie the weekend, mark did all i wanted. altho i have encountered on a couple of small problems he needs to fix but he said he will pop over somtime soon to plug the car in and change a setting or two...
But my brief spec was to have the
STG 3 T34.48 fitted
new braided loom
SM4+CDI ign,4 coils and leads
1000cc injectors
AP organice clutch
AP 6 pots fitted
longer wheel studs
now with this spec mark predicts me to now have in the region of 360-380bhp.... anyway the car seems to run brill, good on fuel still and goes V well. what with all the new stuff it is taking some getting used to but i'm getting there, the features are cool too
....
now its back i managed to kill a cv joint so a new shaft had to be bought as you cannot buy the inner joint alone .... which in a way is ok at least i know its new... i have also managed to start fitting the car up with some of the new bits, altho i need to get the water inj finished, sort some wiring, and few other small bits....
but heres a few pics to keep you amused

ok well as you may know the car went on the rollers graph below just encase you missed it
Also due to the car now having the extra power i have took it upon me to realise i NEED to upgrade a few things sooner rather than later
so after speaking to Paul R bought a spare cross member(going to be powder coated), mike R for some new engine mounts, rear shims and some BLING carbon bits on order and a thermostat housing frm pete rs spares to be crackled....
also to mount upto the member i have now got some adj TCA's off TONY cheers ...
my water injection is now fitted with quick release fittings
Now final parts my breather system should need upgrading now asap, so all my bits are almost ready just waiting for my power steering res finished at A+H then i am sending my breather bits and header tank over to christian to get them crackled for me
Now all thats left for me to do is bring myself to order the QUIP fittings for the breather system which i have worked out is gonna cost ŁŁŁ
cheers Ad
