Thought I would bang a full update on here just to recap what is going on...

So I fitted the following...

HKS T04E turbo kit
Milspec engine loom
Greddy RS BOV
Homemade grounding kit

And while I was at it I serviced the car and put in racing spark plus as well.

Car is gooood! Had the car mapped by Jay to the D and its pushing out 376bhp at the fly. Unfortunaly we were held back fueling wise as it turns out the car has got a stock fuel pump in it (was told it had a uprated one

) so mapping had to stop there due to the fuel pressure dropping at high RPMs. However I have a new pump to go in a some more tweaks to come as well. Anyway here are some pics

I also have some new wheels to go on as well....

So over the next few months I will be getting the new wheels and tyres on and getting the car mapped again once the fueling is sorted.

Those wheels will look good and match your speckled front bumper he he

Great update and thanks for sharing the dyno chart (avoids bullshit mate, not that you would) Please, please, please get these cleaned properly before you fit them to the car. They deserve proper protection before they get ingrained brake dust burnt in on the inside well (Of course, you will have polished the other ones by then too

)

Arf Arf Arf... I think there is another Marham trackday coming so I will do that then get it sprayed. A friend of mine got some work done at h-tech and was really pleased with them, thanks to Ben for the recommendation

I will use H-tech for the stuff I need doing.

No worries, TBH I dont do bullshit either... get s me in trouble at work..anyway...
I cleaned them after taking these photos just using some car shampoo, I have got some autoglym alloy wheel stuff as well - http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stor ... yId_255235

Should I bang some of that on as well? I didnt use it as I wasent sure about using it on painted alloys?

Clean my old wheels?! I dont know Stu anyone would think you run some sort of car valeting business...

I did actually give them a polish following your recommendations before rotorstock but I never put up some pictures...So here you go...

Pictures where taken as I was doing it but you get the idea. Still not great but a dam sight better than they where, I used some of the alloy wheel seal stuff I mentioned earlier on there. Once they are off the car I plan to take them apart and really give them a good seeing to before selling.

Fair point

I genuinely don't want or mean to push what I do (I am more than busy enough without wishing to appear rude)
They do look better after a bit of Meguiar's and some time.........will always make them worth more or easier to sell mate.

Haha was only pulling your leg mate, I love the fact you are into it and you are spuring people on... its the way it should be

I love cars first and foremost, and I guess I forget myself sometimes!

Clean, tuned cars look so much better than shoddy ones.......OK, I am biased; time to stop bombarding your thread with buffty stuff.

Super smooth power curve there mate.

I do like the old wheels but the front tyres make them look a bit odd.

Those hubs need painting though

I do love this pic.....your motor being looked at by the jedi master

It's almost like he is mapping it through mind control !
