Quick clean up of the Type R...

As the weather is abit poo at the mo... just give it a quick wash, hoover and abit of tire shine...... wanna get round to trying out my new polish and sealant I've got from polished bliss over the weekend if the weather is half decent...

Its still running spot on lol... but its having a new ecu fitted next weekend fingers crossed, along with the 800cc injectors fitted... and the boost up'ed...!!!

Its getting there slowly...

I'll chuck this one of my sister's 5 GTurbo cleaned up yesterday...

Type R looks very nice, is this the one that had the engine rebuilt by yourself in your front room?

Cheers for the comments again... Mapping of the new ecu and fitting of the 800cc injectors has gone very well...
Just gotta get some new pipe to pipe boost solenoid back up then will need another map to run big boost... then a few tweaks on cold start...
I'll get round to updating my projects thread soon...
Really chuffed with it...
