Replaced injector cups and seals today. Cleaned the throttle body thoroughly as it was off. Also replaced the 2 pipes I had coming off the inlet manifold and new gaskets of course.

Car felt really smooth on the test drive, probably a bit quicker, will have to test it out properly to be sure.

It has lost the massive backfire when I change gear at full boost now! Probably a good thing really but was fun for a while.

Anyone know how much gear oil the 6spd takes?

Been thinking about doing this myself - heard you should check both plugs or check the fill plug before the drain one, am I right? How do you go about doing that?

Drain plus is next to the dog bone. Fill is on the front by the hard line. Got to make sure the fill undoes before you drain it else you ain’t getting nothing back in!!

On a side note, 1 day and I’m sick of the decat again so it’s going back to standard down and cat tomorrow. I’ll stick with cat back for now lol

My shifting is much better since I got the dogbone bush, so it's not so urgent to do the transmission fluid, but something on the list.

Just back from having the wheels aligned. Apparently the wheels were like \___/

Got a scare when I got in the car to drive to the garage though - turned round in a side road and when I got on the accelerator to get going again, smoke out the back and the car lost all boost. I really need to take a look at cleaning my turbo. It's only happened when the car is cold, but even when it's warmed up, it's like the car's hitting the redline at 3,000rpm.

You find it way too bassy/boomy in the cabin?

So I replaced the cat, re fitted he exhaust then cleaned it. The rear of my Center section on the hangar sits very close to the beam. It always has. Could the mount be fatigued? It’s probably never been changed and sits low as said.

Roll on the summer for a hand wash and wax.
