The car went to Engine Dynamics yesterday. It has been mapped before at RSTuning, before my ownership. Since my ownership it's had the timing corrected, new plugs, couple of services and so on. So after some thought it went over to ED. Initially at RST it made 178hp, then after mapping made...

So Snetterton on Monday was brilliant. Really really happy with the car. I think there were 5 sessions which were red flagged whilst I was out, which was unfortunate, but no major delays really. Got some instruction (free with Opentrack) - got myself 20-30 mins with adamchristo.com - really nice...

@OssPoop thanks! I actually preferred the wheels silver too to be honest, will probably get them refurbed when the tyres need replacing (soon!!). @welshname well, one of them things really, held out ~10k miles so didn't do bad. About 79k miles now. I've seen more than one case of people...

So clutch and manifold all done. A friend who has done a fair few helped (well I helped him). Took around 3-3.5 hours to do both, and that was going fairly steady, and included a break for lunch. The clutch had some life left, but the cover... it was properly fked, part had broken off, which...

Doing my best! Another trackday booked, Snetterton on the 16th. Replacing the clutch tomorrow morning, got another genuine manifold with decent flexis too which I'm going to put on whilst I'm at it. New fluid and general check over too.

Time for another update - not too much to mention really - service using ELF 5w40, Genuine filter. Bedford track day. Moved flat. Starting a new job on Monday. Booked on to Blyton for the morning of CS.net Festival - will possibly try and squeeze another track day/evening in this year. New...

Not updated this for a while... a few small bits recently. Lots of pictures below - really really happy with the car. Few small things need doing, going to start to add powerflex mounts etc as they are tired. Flexis on manifold are starting to go, but going to have a think about which way to...

Time for another update. I got the track rods, track rod ends, discs and pads changed in preparation for the MOT tomorrow. I did also replace the clamps on the exhaust. I spent some time tonight sorting out the alignment, running approx 0.8mm toe out on each side for now. Didn't change the bleed...

Some goodies arrived today! Track rods and ends. Discs, pads and pins. Discs, pads and pins.

Time for an update. Not that much has happened over the winter, a clean every now and again, and lots of fuel. I did however give the wheels a refurb, there was some pretty bad kerbing present on one of the wheels, with a small amount on the others, this has been there since I bought the car so...

The light issue returns, not quite the same as before though... cornering lights remain working, and they adjust up/down when toggling full beam. Front bumper off again tomorrow by the sounds of it.

Cheers both, I'm doing my best but lack of time, and the crappy weather means progress is slow, I'm hoping by early next year I'll have sorted all the niggles and it'll be ready for a couple of trackdays. I was hoping to do a bit more this weekend however my girlfriend managed to fall down the...

Bit more progress this weekend. No more issues with the lights, so going to assume that's fixed for now. This weekend it was time to change the brake fluid, and the brake lines too as it happens. I picked up a set of the braided lines from Pro Line Motorsport for £40 on Black Friday!!! Really...

Right... after a drive out tonight I believe the lighting issue is fixed for now! Pretty pleased if that's the case, though only time will tell, I'll pick up a plug and re-plug it soon, providing the issue doesn't return. Plans for the car between now and the new year Want to get the car...

Some developments on the light issue... yesterday I went to see someone with a CLiP to see if we could see anything, it appears CLiP could not talk to the lighting module - this points to a bad connection or faulty computer. I took the bumper off at lunch time today and honestly the plugs were...
