.Little update as i haven't had much time due to moving house and job to another county. Before i left Yorkshire i got my car featured in Practical Performance Car Magazine.





I also had a bit of time the other day to fit my MMG diffuser as i wanted a more aggressive look then what the TAT long gave.

[fred666]

Still love this car. The black details make the aggresive look for me.

[haggi961]

Not really had much to update as I haven't had much time due to moving around so much but I've got my seats, harness and anodised bits in now so the interior is one step closer to be finished.

Gawd that's a clean car !

 

Where exactly in Dorset do you live now? I sometimes come down to climb on the cliffs etc near Swanage.

[haggi961]

Cheers Nev. I have actually moved back upto Yorkshire now as my last job wasn't right down there. So i got a new job back up here which is now perfect. How's nipper getting on?

[Bumblebee]

Looking good Luke, have you got many more plans?

[haggi961]

Yeah I've got loads to do still, but the next plan is to get the harrop fully mapped. Then it's getting the coupe back and front clam louvres fitted and thenmgettingmthe car resprayed.

[Wreelybro]

Loving the orange harnesses!

[haggi961]

New engine badge since my last one fell off.


Fitted my hid kit. Not yet tested to see how well it works.



I also gave the car a once over.

[haggi961]

Few more goodies. Wideband, 630cc injectors, uprated fuel pump and some 4 pots that need bringing back to life.

[haggi961]

Right I've not updated this for a while. I've done a few jobs to get me closer to the Dutch software.

My exhaust had destroyed the packing so I decided to strip off and send to chris tullet to get repacked with the 900 degrees packing instead of the 600 degrees it comes with. While the exhaust was at chris tullet I decided to get them to weld the bung in the exhaust for the wideband.

while it was off I got new nuts and bolts, oem gaskets, exhaust wrap for the u bend as the other stuff was looking tired. I also got a stainless steel exhaust clamp as the last one had rusted away. Also while it was off it had started to look rusty even tho it's stainless steel I didn't like the look so I sanded it down and spayed up with flame proof paint which is good for 900 degrees.

Looking rusty

Now painted









Also fitted a cheater to the lambda




Then the process of fitting the wideband which was not easy. All done now and is working perfect.


Bought a new charger to keep the battery in good condition.

Why is it not showing my last few images. It keeps changing them from img format.

Car is looking great. You will need the second lambda for the Dutch software. The Nanotec oil unfortunately gave zero power gain over mobil 1 oil but was fine otherwise. I did see a small gain from the Denso plugs which I am now using. Did you go for cooler plugs ITV 24 or 26?

Thanks. I was told I don't need the second lambda? It's still all connected. I went for the itv 24 spark plugs.

I think just the AFR. I didnt know there was a better one out there. What makes it's better then this one?

Probably quite benificial for you guys who are moving to the Dutch software unless it's already got it built in?
