Yeah other is in the boot a dont worrie ill add the ketchup to the multi finish and all will be good lol

[danny-R]

I've often thought if it would work adding paint into the plaster and killing 2 birds with one stone lol back on topic, I used them aem gauges they're pretty good do you have the aem afr guage?
Will you be up and running for York?

[t5 pete]

Yeah the car will deff be at york up and running i just hope ive got it fully run in a mapped yeah ive got the aem boost and afr i will get the oil pressure aswell but just getting the main things first the quality of the gauges and parts used with them are brilliant alot of money but worth it, i could have got them a little cheeper is i went for digital but im not too keen on digital gauges and preffere the analog to match the car

[danny-R]

I'm looking forward to it, going to be some good competition this year. What turbo and map are you running?

[t5 pete]

Ill be running my 18t with all upgrades and a custom map so should be nice when done and will also has lsd so better grip

Becuase im not rich like u dude and im a tight §§§§ and dont like paying people money to fix or work on things i can do easily, i think the only two things i ever need to pay for is mapping and machine work if i had a nice laith ide even do the machine work my self.
