My little project - IS200 Turbo

Whenever my car goes into the garage for a long time, and I get a courtesy car, getting back into the Lex always feels different and new, just like the first time I bought it, and took it home.
:laugh:
I bet by the time you get back into your car, you won’t recognise it, and it will feel completely different. And that’s before you even start it too !!!

Bandit Must admit i'm a bit surprised now at the time this has taken, and hopefully it wont be much longer till your back with your motor mate :thumbup1:
True, it was so well planned out that I thought it'd be in and out in no time - but I guess that just shows that with this sort of custom work you never can really plan everything, plus the weather didn't help too.
I'm sure when it all comes back perfect a few weeks here and there will be easily forgotten :biggrin:

No Stav, Steve now has no transport apart from the bus :angry:

I really wanted the car back in time for this week, because my kids are arriving from New Zealand in the morning, and I'm going to Heathrow to pick them up. So I've hired another car (Vauxhall Insignia).
Latest is that the downpipe is now finished (bar heat-wrapping, but that doesn't have to be done before mapping). They hit a problem though in that the dump valve was mounted too high and was very close to the bonnet. So they're re-doing that bit and then hopefully it can go off for mapping.

Now running standalone Syvecs ECU and no stock ECU !

26-01-2017, 10:05 AM #570I gave back the hire car quite a long time back, because of the cost. Obviously if I'd known it would take this long I'd have done something different, e.g. bought another car.
