Hello everyone,

Anyway look forward to chatting with you, and getting some tec help as well as hopefully offering help to others

oh wow a really crazy person, love the cream interior, we didnt get that

welcome to OA

[Martin.p]

Thanks glider, The cream interior was number 1 on my list of 'must have' when I was looking for my car then it had to be blue or green on out side!

Ps I like the 'Owns a 4-wheeled garden statue :D
Mines not far off being a garage ornament.

Looks good mate, what kind of power is it making?

[Martin.p]

It was 253 befor I took it apart. That was with a xe cam retarded half a tooth with vernier, 8.1 EDS FMIC and phase 2 chips. It's now got a hybrid k16 and I've only done 1500 mi since build so not ready to put back on rollers. I can't see it being much more to be honest. The main reason I rebuilt was to check shell for rust and to generally clean the car up.

[Martin.p]

It's got other smaller up grades, but what difference they make to power I'd say is arguable
10 mm HT leads
Divorced down pipe
Platinum plugs gapped at 0.65
Updated actuator
Larger boost pipes
Cold feed to air box from towing eye cover
Rocker cover oil tray mod
Lip on turbo and top hat entry removed
Wire mesh from AFM removed
In car air freshener
Also have a switch to turn 4x4 on/ off on the dash .
