Really nice looking car. I really like those alloys, more than the alloys on the new Leon's.

It's slowly coming along next is service and cambelt in a month or two and then to get the front bumper re-sprayed

Another little update had these fitted last week along with a Sachs smf conversion and clutch kit along with slave and master cylinder as well

Steering feels sharper on turn in and doesn't feel too harsh or crashing either
The clutch has transformed the way the car drives , clutch pedal is mega light and the pic up is sharper and a lot more responsive !

Also fitted a scorpian decat as well before the clutch kit. And WOW money well spent the sound alone is worth it never made how much different the spool up is. Tourque feels stronger and comes in lower down the rev range, well that's how it feels. Had a few issues with post cat Lambda but fitted a spacer now.

Also had the pre cat emllight on before Christmas so that has been changed over but now need to get to the bottom of the p0170 fault code that keeps coming up!

More pics to follow once I get some decent ones

small update, after finding a split pcv pipe and getting a p0170 fault code every now and again iv just ordered a catch can 2m of hose and the tee piece so hopefully that will be here next week. Might tidy up the engine bay while I'm at It as well and remove all n249 bits that are left after the bypass !

Split pcv hose

So this is goin to be replaced along with all the other shitty pcv system that is prone to failure!

Hope you get to the bottom of that code. It looks like fitting the new per car lambda has cured mine. Good to hear good feed back with the poly bushes as well.
