Hey, you'll never forget the air recirculater switchy offy button though ;)

Although buying a car with no windscreen seems an extreme way of dealing with it :lol:

Well sorry but back on topic


So far I've only taken it about 3 miles down road and back

Well today changed all that bit nervous but daisy wants to go swimming

So in the mr2 we went
40mile round trip and its brilliant
Couldn't fault it (touch wood)

Drive well pulled well
It's defo to loud when above 4k so will need to sort a slightly quieter exhaust when I can afford it but this works for now and scares people

Gotta try it in a tunnel soon too

Well what can I say
I was coming home from work and no need to "get there"
So thought I should check the mr completely
So after a run in with a focus st (okay the mr is ridiculously fast)
And took it through ivyvhurch lots on bumpy bumps to see what falls off and I wasn't gentle
It's home and in one piece and no catastrophes
Don't eve think kels heard me get home ;)
Think 11-12psi is gonna be more than enough
I really want to try the mk1 na at weekend just to see the difference ;)

Well err 12psi

And fuel cut defender set up as well
Not nice when you hit fuel cut
But a least I know it will come in if it overboosts

Full alignment done today
Feels miles better

And today I have mostly been baiting an evo 10
Wondering if he felt like he'd left his handbrake on
