FUUUUUUUUCK ME! It's great fun!

Great weather too for testing It spat it's dummy out twice so far, Once it threw a coolant hose off and dumped the whole lot of coolant out of the car. Luckily I packed 5L of fresh coolant, jacks, axlestands, tools and screwdrivers. So I fixed it by the roadside and carried on after an hour or so.

Next up was the alternator wiring being slightly wrong (which I suspected) and running the car out of charge. Luckily it decided to do this on my driveway! So changed it all and bumped the car all works fine now!

Flung the 15's in the car and took it to get tracked and cambered at Protyre. That was done last thing last night

Did 100 miles in it throughout the evening and it seemed ok, which is nice. Just keeping an eye on Temperature and coolant levels etc now!

Summary: AWESOME!

Powerflow/the entire conversion process. Got a 2.25in bore system made up with the 6x4 oval exit. Left them with nothing, so they had nothing to copy, and said I don't want to hear squeaks/bangs etc Not a peep out of it so far!

I budgeted £1500, and it was about that in the end. That price included an entire new exhaust system, M-Tec kit, Cam Belt/Waterpump etc + A load of new service bits, two tubs of oil, 2 sumps, gear linkeages, new ECU, The engine etc etc.

Just been out with my mate with his XE nova and a ClioSport. Great Fun hehe! Oh... And I did beat a 106GTi
