Excellent news. Have to say I agree, Kev & Dan are always very helpful and friendly when I contact them.
Love the wheels, just put mine back on these wheels with the winter tyres on. :D |

Go on lad :thumb: :D |
Excellent work.
|
I had a feeling they’d be some kind of issues with it i was on the fone to dan for 40 mins everything explained all the options laid out It’s weird and exciting seeing the progress after it was sat in the garage for so long doing feck all Lots more to come on this |
Haha. I know that feeling mate. Every available surface in my garage is now piled high with parts. Can't wait to see them on the car and can't wait to get some of my garage back again!!!
|
When do you hope to get started stripping and fitting matey |
Looking good raggy, clinic will look after you mate no worries there. Are you picking the car up from them and driving back?
|
That’s not been decided yet I might have it Transported back i may pick it up I’ll decide closer to the time Not really looked that far ahead one step at a time |

No man that’s the last piece of the jigsaw puzzle for me but tbh there is so much to be done on the car as it is I’ll come back next year for a fully built 2.1 the engine should be fine at 450 but obviously always a risk |

What’s to be gained spending hours in the oe ecu wasting money when it’s going syvecs anyway I’ve already wasted enough money when the option was put to me it didn’t interest me if we still have issues mechanical or electrical when we are ready for the dyno that’s a different story I require the car to be running a 100 percent and the clinic have been instructed to do whatever is necessary to ensure that’s the case |
|
The tgv flaps have been removed and the lads at the clinic are busy cleaning it all up Going ahead and getting the intake manifold painted red will be a nice contrast with the carbon covers |

100 percent man i want to cover all bases with the car if there are issues after the ecu goes on I’m sure we can progress from there whats apparent is there is a massive overfueling issue the front lambda isn’t working the car was doing 4.2 kilometers per liter off boost i nursed it up the road a few miles to meet the transporter lots of things appealed to me about the clinic reoccurring advice on the mapping thread from lads on here was to take it to a garage who could do everything under the one roof |

UPDATE The front bumper is off to be cut and meshed In the meantime the hks intercooler will be sprayed up black and the rest of the intercooler pipes in red im not copying you brown pants I swear lol the top mount oil cooler will now be fitted out the front so the lads are on with that Making good progress here iron a few issues out spruce up a few things and plough forward i say looking at the car in a million pieces is crazy but the lads are on with it |
