Hi all! 6 weeks after last update, i've got round to a few more bits :) Thanks to Gav @ Ross sport, i got a wheel arch liner to replace the one that was (for all intensive purposes) falling apart!

The Tial BOV since i had the car felt like it was opening late, almost like a delay from throttle release, found out with a bit of research that my 2mm vacuum line that was on the car wasn't good enough :( So got myself some -4 lines and some fancy bits from autotorque :D drilled out the feed from the bottom of manifold to 6mm and linked it all up!



When the car started you could see positive movement from the piston and whilst driving it felt MUCH better :D BOV was louder and shut sooner :) All in all, good move!

Next was to actually drive the thing!



This is when i subsequently lost the bung in the downpipe :(



A replacement arrived from Ebay, cleaned up the threads in the downpipe, put a bit of exhaust paste on it and tighten it RIGHT up, ran the engine for 10 minutes then gave it another pinch. Hopefully the little sod won't come out!

Next was an engine bay clean :) Its not perfect, but its better than the dust that was sitting on it :(



And yesterday the present to myself arrived :D



Once my Stainless steel bits arrived, i'll fit it :D

Not a lot planned from here on out, i've found a company to make me a custom gear shift gaiter, will be replacing my suspension for something a bit softer then i will think about a re-map :)

Few extra bits done this weekend :) Finally got an HKS EVC 6 thanks to EV02 NUT on here :D I love it. As no bracket comes with these, i thought i'd make my own :)







Sits nicely in there ready for the next addition in the centre console :D The unit itself takes a bit of setting up to make it accurate, but i can without doubt say its MUCH easier to get right than the AVC-R and it holds the boost VERY well. I set it to 2.2 bar and it keeps hitting it time after time in every gear! Also, it seems to spool up faster than before, which is also awesome :) I was beginning to really enjoy the car, but now i've got a grinding going into 3rd :( boo
