Then decided wanted a bit more power so added prodrive sport cat and decat then took it off for remap

Car mapped at 325/300 on vpower which I was happy with
So went onto cosmetics next
Front splitter and zunsport grills were next

Subscribed.

Leave the arb as it is mate get some whiteline drop links fitted with the arb and a fast road set up should work nicely.

Did the hazard switch yesterday

Regarding the lights drivers side has a bit of damp inside that's job for this weekend whilst getting rear coilovers on and camber bolts.

Then it's off to jake for a little paint, full alignment and full buff and valet

Next job after that I'm reversing inlet to shorten fmic pipe work
And hopefully getting a billet turbo on it

Been very busy this week

On Wednesday with ROSSSTI (thanks for help pal) changed my MD321V for a non billet T
Ready for remap with Andy Carr yestesterday
Sod's law day before the up-pipe decides to crack the welds
So Brian at cams sorted me with new RCM one after full day with Andy and Brian I can say after a long journey the car is 100% the T is so much better than the V for my car.. Pushing out about 440bhp

Thanks a lot for all the help off everyone
