Right, I haven't really been doing much to the car recently that justifies any major updates, but here's a few bits that have been sorted.
With a lot of help from Ben, before the new year we fitted a Mk2 heater box back in, so I can lose the Mk3 "TV screen" style heather controls and just have the 3 standard dials back. It was a bit of a job, as the dash had to come out, along with the front half of the roll cage. I've also plumbed my volt gauge back in as it was pointless it sitting there doing nothing. I'm going to finish modifying the Mk3 radio facia to house my gauges, and I'll also buy an oil pressure gauge at some point too.
Last week, we stripped back half of the engine loom as it was having earthing issues, we thought it was all fixed, but on test drive, it is still hesitating under full throttle. We're going to the workshop again this weekend to take another look, and hopefully will get it sorted before my track day at Brands Hatch on the 26th of this month.
I've decided that I'm no longer going the hybrid route, just down to cost and saving for a house. Just before Christmas I managed to get hold of these:
Two K03s turbos. One is damaged (left in the picture, you can see it's missing blades, but the other is a runner. I'll be sending it off to get it checked before it gets fitted, but then I'll be taking it to Jabba to get a custom map as I was pleased with the one I had before.
The only other plans I have for the future is possibly an oil cooler (depending what the temps are reading on track at the end of the month), relocating the battery to the boot (had to fit a new one as the cold weather killed mine), fitting a new catch tank that's a bit easier to clean out, and eventually I'd like to flock the dash.
