Is only a few more weeks mate, will only take half an hour to fit when it does turn up, by the time you have sorted the list you should be just about ready when it comes.

bummer about the interior keith...but sure its not that long to wait.

it'll give you enough time to sort out any other we things.

ya dont need to remove the discs m8..................ya can adjust them by putting the larger hole in the disc/hub at the bottom.

and adjust it with a screwdriver#.

a wee torch is handy on this occasion

Nope, didnt scrubb because I wont give it the chance to scrub. I just raised it a little until after it's finished and MOT'd.

^^ yay.. goodo. Of course, mot -spec.. then down shep!
lee-loon: dont be gay, looks spot on slammed.

No Major update yet,

I've got some nice plated battery terminals fitted, makes that area look much neater. I've also replaced all the bulbs in the dash, now everything lights up as it should!! I've got a brand new hazard switch fitted, i'm going to try and never touch it so it doesnt break!! I've the anti-roll bar fitted to the front, and the rear ready for fitting, but i'm feeling **** after a large meal with work so i'll leave it till tomorrow/weekend.

I had the car out for a little mile drive, and it's flipping awesome, it's so sharp on the throttle, I just kept swearing with a huge grin on my face, and thats hardly touching the throttle, I can't imagine what it's going to be like when I get to really drive it properly.

I found it seriously hard to keep it off boost (running engine in) The hybrid turbo seems to be producing more boost than the ECU wants so it's thrown up a "max boost" fault, but this will be cured by adjusting the actuator and later by fitting Phase chips.

I called off with my Interior trimmer who said he'll have the rear seats sorted within a week, and the fronts soon after, so once they are back i'll get it MOT'd.

Nice update mate :)

Can't wait to see this interior

Wind the actuator rod all the way so that it cant make boost.....
