Neither can I Pete!

Indeed it is ****!

Saw the car briefly yesterday, inlet on which is a little bit special on its own and sensor packs been fitted.

Remaining Windows should go in on Monday and final fab work this week ready for mapping and fitting final parts like the proper wheels etc

Getting closer

Typical rain now for the rest of the week which may delay mapping as we're taking it out on the road. Fingers crossed for a low boost base map though still from Martin Battye @ MB Automotive.

Yup, you got it, with all the work to tubb out the front end with the seam welding etc we deleted the battery tray, normally we'd relocate to the boot but because we wanted to keep the weight down we've cut the inside of the car all through to the end of the rear diffuser. Now we've left no room to mount one and of course we had the bay painted etc.

Your idler pully for the alternator belt.
Fit a bigger one so the belt has a smoother radius or else it will just chew belts.
That from bitter experience
