Got the boost spiking problem sorted - My mate cleaned the boost solenoid for me.

Getting a boost controller this weekend :-)





Also my website www.scottishscoobies.net had our first meet a wee bit back and made it into Banzai magazine. Not to shabby lol you can see my classic hiding in the centre.

I love it, great car.

I will be honest though and say I don't like the wheels.

Set of these would look amazing

Well got loads more updates.

Took my pillar pod off and got a pod for the centre of dash where the clock is as the clock does not work.

That houses Oil pressure,temp and boost.
Car is now running 1.1bar on high boost
Ditched the orange wing reflectors for subtle little vents.
Fitted a HT Autos front splitter
I'm awaiting 8K Xenon light conversion to come in the post.
Bought a Afterburner decat aswell so she breathed better :-)

Hopefully have a STI turbo and pinks on in the next few weeks then go to AndyF for another remap.

Couple of pics from the garage (my mates)
