I've PM'd Andy to see if he can shed any light - I've also read somewhere that you have to set the RPM, but there was no advice on how to do that

The cash would be nice though to get the brakes sorted

Jon, get the credit card out mate, you know it makes sense .
The K-Sports have given me so much more confidence than the OEM 4 pots. D2 - same kit, rebranded as I'm sure you know.

Jura - Re your electric mirror switch, another alternative would be to cut the centre console like I did on mine.
Cigarette lighter should be plug and play though? Was on mine. Your original radio brackets will also fit with some persuasion

Unfortunately I cut it up about a year ago and decided on the cash only route so with a respray, Christmas, Tax in the last 2-3 months and 2 MOTs this month my savings have taken a hit.

Cigarette lighter wasn't working before so I'm going to sort that out when we get some time

I'll give them a bell, but when they say no adapters I suspect that means the fitting brackets

Haha, I know exactly what you're on about mate .
I got hit with car and house insurance, followed by the gf's birthday all in 2 months.

Which reminds me, I think my MOT is due in the next few days! Oops!

Few updates:

Car has been mapped today by Duncan@Race Dynamix and Neil@Slowboy racing just for now 1.4bar,but spool up is just amazing,really we are not expected something like this,how this car pull its just amazing and torque now we are feel too in our bucket seats,which with VF34 we are not feel at all.

Next week car will be mapped for full power(1.7bar) and we are really looking what the full power will be

Again big thanks to Neil and Duncan for mapping

BTW,ALS sound sweet

I've spoken to couple of people about the brackets including D2 (who didn't bother to reply). Assuming my car goes through its MOT with no big dramas at the end of the month I have agreed with Japspeed to get a a full set of D2 brakes - hopefully delivered in time for the car going back to the bodyshop for its final detail so he can spray them up RED

Dash is now finished, stereo brackets tweaked to fit and electrics all working...

Also meshed the grill and fitted a WRX bonnet on it, not quite flush at the front but I'll let Jura explain

It drives really nice though (even though I stalled it first time) and that clutch is not as bad as I expected it to be

You're probably going to hate me for saying....but I actually think the carbon bonnet you had on before looked better - with the kit you've got on the car, it set it off and made it look so much more aggressive - I don't think the OEM bonnet suits the wide arch stance quite as well.

I'd really think seriously about parting with it mate, but each to their own - that's what makes the modding world go round

Car looks great btw - looking forward to hearing what figures she'll make.

I expect it'll feel awesome, it felt really strong with the interim map, and that wasn't even giving it beans - it reminded me of a well mapped Spec-C, strong and torquey
