Little write up on the evolution of my car
Little write up on the evolution of my car
Anyway bit of an update;
I've now made and fitted my camber arms and toe arms:

Work perfectly so everything back green on the geometry.
Apart from that I've just done a few little jobs, changed a couple of fuel lines I wasn't happy with.
Made myself a ghetto fuel injector tester:

Looks rough but worked perfectly and proved to me my injectors don't leak, and that they are all even.
Next job is to buy a couple of new parts and get a hole in my inter cooler pipe work welded up then I want to just tidy up the bodywork really.
Got a couple of sneaky projects simmering away but they will be revealed another day...

Well the inter coolers welded up and sealed, also had a new map sensor fitted to the ecu as I was limited to 1.5bar with the existing one.
Also redid my boost line pipes to get a truer reading from directly in front of the throttle. Now need to go back and get it mapped again, really let loose this time.
Other jobs completed include installing a set of projectors to the car, they look awesome and thanks to P.Lindbom for the recommendations.
I also fitted a new alarm, nothing wrong with the old one, just fancied something new haha.
Other random bits of wiring include fitting an electric fuel flap from a newer model Lexus, nothing wrong with the standard cable but I wanted something different so now it's on a button lol.
Other than that I've just been driving the car, including a nice drive to Lincoln last week to meet the other members of the Mod team to prepare the club equipment for the years shows, she didn't miss a beat, but I discovered she's hugely overboosting now because of the pipework changes so mapping needs to be soon.
Had a mate of mine give her a quick polish today ready for japfest as well.

Yep cost. If there was a kit you could attach to a generic manual throttle then I'd be interested but everything seems to focus on making an oem (usually Audi) system work with aftermarket Ecus.
