Brace bar arrived today, want to make sure I get this fitted before the new exhaust is made to ensure they give it plenty of clearance....

Brace bar fitted, was really easy due to no exhaust or diffuser fitted. I did it on the floor and just supported one side of the car at a time under the subframe with a jack to take the weight



Car goes to Simpson Race exhausts on the 16th, will probably be there for a week and then I can get in with mapping this Stg2 setup

Simpsons exhaust, not cheap but great quality. Have you stipulated extra low noise output?

It will be have two boxes like my last exhaust but this time will be 4-1 because I hopefully won’t be chasing tourqe when the 2.5 goes in

So I only have the use of one arm for the next 6 weeks due to an operation on Friday, but I have however managed to get a custom boot logo added to the dash. I’ve also order all the parts to add in an oil pressure sensor

New fuel rail and an lines now in progress, hope to complete this weekend and get the car running again.


New exhaust rubbers ordered to hopefully allow Simpson to securely miijtbthe top silencer.

Lsj injectors arrived and adapters made to suit the std engine fitted currently


Also received most of the parts now to start on the oil pressure sensor kit. I’ll be mounting it on an umbilical chord to keep the sensor away from direct heat and vibration

Oil pressure line now all made up. Fuel rail built up, I’m not happy with the fit of the o-rings on the adapter/spacers that go into the head so going to source some more tomorrow. Still waiting on the new Bosch high flow filter to arrive along with the remaining fittings. Hopefully they turn up tomorrow!!

I suspect retail is around £1500-2000 but I don’t know till o collect. Hoping Matt looks after me asthenosphere make all my radical systems for me for work. Either way it will be worth the money I’m sure

[1cobrav8]

Big thanks to Joe for collecting and delivering the car back safely today....minus the broken bit 😝. Won’t get to see it in person until the morning but the pics look mega.....

Due to wanting a bit kore flexibility and logging capabilities I’ve started to swap out the dash for an aim Mxg Strada 1.2. Removing the main minnacle and just using the carbon cover has mate it a really easy and pretty nice looking fit imo....

Looks a good fit 👍
