    What are your mods for today?

    I am going to get out and fit my larger throttle body and manifold with my Blue injectors, replace thermostat/ coolant temp sender and change the PCV tank while i am at it, kids are off school so i don't have to endure the school run for a week so car won't be used

    It might get a wash if I can endure the cold long enough to be bothered.

    i've already had a mess with BT's switch panel while waiting for the F1 to start, got to have a look at Bonny's intercooler but can see me doing more wiring on BT lol. Got to make some brackets to support the end of the bumpers as well

    extend the wires and mount the guage in new pod, that has to also be mounted,

    Its a really quiet day today at work so...

    I have just hoovered and polished inside. Taken the car down to the free vehicle wash at work given it a jetwash down, just dryed and polished it. Also applied rain guard and mist guard.

    Car now looks the dogs ££££££££!

    I do love weekend shifts, now she's going in the garage till the dyno day.
    Arguing is pointless....she may not be right but she's never wrong

    Tell her a remap is just having your satnav updated.....

    Well got most of the job done taking things off, just a torx bolt in the stat housing is stubborn and the 2 bolts under the manifold to undo then the manifold comes out,

    Having a rest now lol,

    I was hoping to have blue injectors to fit this weekend courtesy of pfandango, but that is "pending" at present - lol!!!! So it got a good wash and dry down, a hoover out, new number plates fitted (carbon look lettering...), and a set of Sparco pedals fitted (offset accelerator - better for heel and toeing!!)

    Trying to prioritise in getting custom 3" ss exhaust, front splitter from Tomcat, or resparay of front bumper and bonnet to sort scuffs and horrendous lacquer peel next.... Decisions decisions!
