Can you please keep all the JDM shite out of this thread, it has nothing to do with Nic's project thread. Cheers.

so got a new abs sensor from unipart for a few quid. nearly went and bought a 2nd hand scrappy one but its not worth it sometimes. so that means i can get that fitted and mess about with the geared boost settings again. well id do it tonight but ive only got one headlight. left the other at my mates. doh.

i cant really afford it if im honest. im wanting to get a roll cage like what rick drapers shell has done over winter and get bigger fuel pump sorted and then just see how it goes. im not in it to be chasing anyones times. its more fun to play about than it is to be concerned with what others are running.

no didnt beat it, was doing low 11's most the day. mental cars they are. so smooth when you watch them go.
yeah sorting some vids out now. my car i dont think will ever run an 11 at crail. its not like the glued to death track at santa pod. so im still happy enough.
