Oil and filter change over,

66450 miles, a bit later then i would like, but still feels tight as a drum, also now running 5w40 castrol edge as its coming up to summer.

and new Yokos about 2k miles ago, car feels great. plugs happening soon as a precaution.

Had a good read of this to pass time at work

Do you happen to have a guide for the parts needed and fitting of the boost gauge at all?

Looks lovely :D

parts needed:

gauge.
OSIR vent gauge adapter
4mm vac line
forge map adapter
wiring, mines wired to the sidelights, so if i have them on the gauge lights up.

ull need to drill a little hole in the plastic behind the boost gauge but thats basically the hardest part.



"That front end looks so aggressive with the two tone paint."

cheers buddy,

Update,

new coilovers on front on
new poly race bushes in wishbones and top mounts,
new even shorter drop links.

fronts been raised the smallest amount, (0.5cm) and its handling perfectly, no knocks, no noise, not a squeek. seriously impressed and glad i bought the race bushes!

next up, i think either vibratechnics engine mounts, water meth injection or new discs and pads.
