Not much been going on really just driving Had a go of driving the the rain and it's a bit of a hand full so will try not to do it again Driving temps are still over 90 with both fans on replacing water pump and timing belt on Tuesday hoping the pump might be at fault.

Revived a parcel today







Copied off Bigron hoping it will keep temps down as well?

Will get some pictures of the water pump change on Tuesday hoping it all goes well

Got a lot done in the last few days fitted a new timing belt and sorted the getting hot problem out

To start with this is how the temp sat with normal driving and general motorway journeys



Got sick of the temp so I removed the thermostat and bought some de ionised water, water wetter and some anti-freeze to help with corrosion and to increase the boiling point of the coolant seems to be working great this is were the temperature sits now on a run, bare in mind there is about a 5mm gap between my rad and turbo



New belt


All timed up almost done


All done


and a inside shot to show my new radio

Yeah i no most people are don't agree with running a motor without a thermostat but the turbo is warming the rad up to much so it helps loads with it out. I'm looking for a cage but in no rush as i'm very very skint cheers for the comments

Bought a forge actuator and boost is much better not but it still drops off and will only hold 10/11PSI so think the penny valve is fooked so looking at getting a new turbo after PVS, got a few pictures of the actuator and a bay shot

Man everything is so close in a LET I thought it was close on an XE!

Great work as usual though! Hopefully a new turbo cures it dropping off

You'd struggle to fit a bit of paper between the turbo and the rad Price to pay when I don't want to cut the bumper Going to start trying to save a turbo soon but there costly and I have no money left at all

That's mental!

So much more sleeper without the cooler on show but obviously you're paying for it a bit in the bay

Not much of a update but now rolling on two cesaros on the front due to the tracking being out and killing my tyres still managed to get some pictures in the sun





Waiting to get paid so I can get some new tyres, also Mieran's x16 nova died a painful death




And the daily has hit the big 100,000miles
