The fcon is a good bit of kit but don't you have to be a power writer to get into it?

Yea there only 3 or 4 people in the UK who can actually tune them but it was £400 with a denso map sensor and a plug and play harness for the tezza. I couldn't really argue the price and I've had 2 power fcs blow on me now. A new pfc is 425 quid and I don't wana risk getting caught with a massive £150 import tax bill again.
Trying to push to get it boosted by jae
Yea the main reason I went for meister was the discount. Everything else is the same ish price or not in stock. Very impressed with them so far.

Exhaust was scrapping on leafs and I didn't want to raise the car any higher, it already looks too high
so took off the exhaust to remake it and sit it further up. Some nice colors from the heat![[Image: IMAG0761_zpsxpd3yalf.jpg]](http://s1295.photobucket.com/user/toshamov/media/IMAG0761_zpsxpd3yalf.jpg.html)
The damage from trying to get over a speed bump before abandoning the car at the side of the road and walking home

Raised her right up, sits above the chassis arms now so it shouldn't be getting snagged all the time. Fitted a flexi too, not really needed but it was more to save me time on trying to get the pipes to fit together again after raising the front half. The front and rear section wouldn't meet if it was solid.

Made a ghetto looking PAS to AC adapter plate

Fitted ghetto plate to where the AC was

Made some hoses for the reservoir and plumbed everything up. The reservoir comes off the old PAS bolt holes and sit in front of the engine away from all the hot bits so hopefully It will live a bit longer.

Struggling with a belt though, can't fit the tensioner in there so going to try a few different belts until I find one that isn't too tight when fitted and if not then will have to try make some sort of bracket for a tensioner.
Unfortunately, I don't think she will be boosted for JAE
Dam tax man has been taking too much off me for the last 3 months
Think I need to roll my arches.. and paint them!!

Started doing some intercooler pipes, pretty easy really just had to move the ecu box a little to make space. Ran out of bends unfortunately so hopefully get a chance to do some more in a couple of weeks. Would have had it booked for a map on friday if I had had enough bends

Not ready for JAE at all, not even time to wash the car, or plug up any holes! Should be a decent weekend anyway though
Cleaned up the turbo housing so that bits of ali don't melt off and hit the turbine. Came up surprisingly nice!
