About time for an update I suppose.

Not too much has happened really apart from dialing out that reduclious camber :D. I have changed the plugs and bought a set of coil packs off of flea bay. It seems to have made a small difference but not dramatic. I may have to have a tinker and try a bit of trial and error with the old ones and the new ones to see if I can get a full good set out of the two. If that doesnt work I will have to get a MAF and try that.

I still have to get the exhaust put on (Must remember to speak to fast Edward)

Oh and I have just won these on ebay too :D

Almost the same as I have on the car but all the same size and offset etc, in a better condition and nearly new tyres. So I will have a spare set of wheels for track use. :D

I have some better door cards to put on it aswell as some M3 side skirts but I don't know if I will bother with those as I will probably be stripping some bits out before the season starts ;)

That's about all for now :)
I may be getting older but I REFUSE to grow up :D

It does run without the MAF plugged in. Smoother but down on power.

Does that mean it is the MAF that is FUBAR?

Happy to pop round sometime and take a look if you want nik?

Have a trade EuroCarParts account if that helps, stay away from chepo crap on ebay!
