Started the work on the strip down of the engine at the weekend, the car is now looking very sorry for itself on the drive.

No exhaust, no Turbo, not much else left on the engine...

I felt so bad, I ordered it/me some new Team Dynamic Pro 1.2's as Demon Tweeks had 50% off on them :)

So that will spur me on to get back on it this weekend and start the rebuild.

I also had to buy a 'runaround' for a short while as the LC is my daily, so picked up a 2004 Mazda 3 sport for £500... its actually quite a nice car, but very boring! however it will stay and become the family hack!

Stripped this out today. Has a rather big hole in the underside if it.
Does anyone know what it's called and where to get replacement.
Cheers

Tbh...YES!!
had an issue with my ECU and was fixed without fuss and with a money back guarantee you can't go wrong. Not sure if he is a mapper or just buys help as he was on the phone a lot.
Boost peaks at 18psi and drops to a nice 16psi all the way to 6k.

Most in Peterborough want £200 a remap generic!!
Jabba want £295 but there's have printouts so i may go with them if i go stage 2 with this.
What do you drive? Engine? Color?

Edit: i see you're Sig, but fr is confusing to me. Petrol or diesel

Here is mine,
She's nothing to look at but for me that's the hole point. Fun cheap car that can bring a smile to my face every time i push the happy peddle.

Put 91 in yesterday because I was really low and had no choice...car won't boost over 10psi with missing today.
Was only a tenner so hopefully all will be ok once it's gone.

Edit:97 bp fuel not 91
