...its back!! MOT Pass and all! It's also had the Zep Racing 4 Point rear strut brace bolted in, Stebel horn wired in (gayest thing you ever did hear...I love it!), Cusco metal bushes welded in, alignment done...it rides like a completely different thing! All for under £300, woot!
There are a few issues though...turbo doesn't seem to want to boost above 0.25Bar, and its boost cutting to hell (though to be fair, a stock ecu with no FCD, no air filter, and the brisk weather won't exactly help), oh and the headlights have been reverted to stock halogen bulbs (for now), but I'm staying positive! Pictures ajnd details to follow
The cold weather did bring its fun though:
