No real updates

Been running Veg oil from the week after I fitted the Bosch and its been a dream to drive still... even if a little thirsty? Was doing 400 mile to a full tank steady driving... so around 38mpg - But been to Nottingham yesterday and done a 50mph trip there and back and so far its returned a nice 50mpg . Hope it continues for the other half a tank...

It has its MOT on 29th Dec - So will see how things go from then!!

Recent Picture from Xmas meet 2010



She is currently on 134k and not been washed since the day I had her :clap:

If all goes well with the the MOT, the new brakes front and rear disc beam will be sorted not long after.
Then she needs lowering 60mm all round.

And I have some nice plans for Audio after seeing Stiffee's install and chatting to him...

Watch this space!



*Update Pictures *



Needs painting or Stickering...


:clap:



Well DILLIGAF had her run yesterday... I managed to finally hit the 110 I was looking for.. But wanted more, as we all do



Trying to work out now why its so restrictive, gonna start at the backbox

Also...

Her P2 front door cards are in, wiring isnt.. typical french style, its shit P



*Updates*

P2 doorcards fitted all round... Just got to sort the wiring out on the drivers side.. typical french shit


Then Raz (P Boost) gave me some side skirts for free as they had a crack in them...


And then my £30 exhaust... Cheers to Friar241 and P Boost


It is now running 19psi in 3rd, Turbo is cooling quicker after being on boost.. and it has a nice deep rumble and freed up the bottom of the rev range a lot more..

Just got to sort out a better LDA now


Bought the Speedlines from Friar241


At Coventry Meet


Managed to get my Alpine HU to support 50gb of music on an external HDD... Only problem is it banks 1,000 songs at a time... So I have to guess where music is in 8 different banks... So now I am on the look out for a HU that does 'Large Media Support' - Not going to be easy!!

Looks so much better without the stickers in the last photo. Better with the standard grill too. It looks just like a P1 XSI.

i just showed my mum that picture of the monkey hanging down, shes got one of them and she loves it when she saw it she was like awww poor monkey haha your evil x

[TheGateKeeper]

Well I have just come back from the MOT... Was dreading this day, as the car is getting older... But she surprised me. She failed, but really not as bad as I thought

1. Offside Side Repeater not working (got to be the bulb fell out the holder, cause it doesn't tick fast)
2. Centre Exhaust blowing (Had a look, biggish hole. He reckons about welding it. But can I find anywhere that does exhaust welding now ) So time to get the putty out
3. N/S Rear handbrake cable insecure (I think cause I haven't got the cover on underneath it looks insecure, easy, put the cover back on)

So all in all, Not bad
