cheers bro :-D

bit of messing with the engine today. It's already been fitted with an intercooler/EGR delete/decat and boost/fueling turned up but I thought there was room for improvement. So I've shortened the actuator arm to up the boost. also upped the fueling to allow a little more smoke off boost to ensure its got enough fuel. also tighented the new throttle cable slack and slightly lowered the tickover.

First drive with this done was an "OMG" moment. what a huge difference it's made, it wasn't exactly sluggish before but the throttle is so crisp now :smile:

Next is a new DAB Bluetooth cd player, alloy wheel colour change then the retrim

Fitted a vinyl to my floor before as the carpet I fitted a few months back was looking tired. I can't believe the difference, looks so big inside now. Also fitted a double folding front seat. All ready for re trimming now front and rear. Going for black with grey cross stitched centers :)

Got some bit covered in carbon wrap to freshen in up. I paid for the fridge to be done as the crevasses were too awkward for me to do, the wrap wouldn't stretch enough, but I did the other myself. 2 weeks and the seats are being re trimmed :-D

Looking good man, i have been geting on with ours lately, insulated, ply lined, carpeted walls, lino floor, and painted hardboard celing. made some door cards with speakers for the front with a new headunit and sub, fitted some folding flat seats from a mazda bongo in the rear. same as you we plan to get them retrimmed with the front nes to match. been offered 1.5k more than ipaid for it already, must be doing something right.
