Good luck

Dont worry mate, the plan is to get Jaydee or Dragon / Reworx to map it again properly. It definitely will be driven again but got lots of other stuff to sort out first and working on this as and when I can. The price for one of those seats is over 1k so no chance of buying any of those !!

Oh and found a pic of when I dropped the injector diffuser...

Good things come to those that wait. I'm thinking of it like a fine wine !!

I am still on the look out for a genuine C-west front for mine but I dont think that is going to happen any time soon! I need more airflow!

Good progress dude. Will be good to see it finished.

Just need to persuade Dom that he needs another front bumper instead of his 99 spec

Ah, I see so they've moved away from FD's then?

Strange to walk away from what I presume is a pretty specialist market, I can understand expanding your specialist skills but to walk away from what people know you best for seems a bit of a weird business move?

I don't know them personally but I spoke to one of the guys down about a particular FD (I'd actually paid for it to be imported). Initially they seemed helpful enough and pretty friendly, they remembered mapping the car after it had landed in the UK. They corrected me on the actual spec of the car in question which was quite a bit different to what was listed in the advert.
I left it at that, then a while later I bought some bits off them and again they seemed helpful enough and answered a few questions, I bought some more bits and some more questions were answered. Then when I asked them about the FD again (after people knew that I'd been scammed out of my car and my money by a dodgy ) they didn't reply to any of my e-mails and I can only assume that it's because they knew the guy and didn't want to get involved?
Maybe I'm just paranoid...

From what I've heard about them I wouldn't trust then as far as I can throw them. Though I'm sure plently of people were happy with the service. Same story for Haywood rotary
