yeah kinda the same as using both xe cams. they're piper ones for a c20let. will find out the exact numbers tomorrow if i can find the spec sheet.
new favourite thing for the car today is the exhaust to fall off the rubber for the back box. not ideal when doing 70mph (edited for legal reasons) racing, i mean driving alongside an impreza  sparky indeed.

doubt it will be much worse than a gm one. will do a z20let one at some point, kinda just wanted to see if engine was ok first. it makes good oil pressure tbh.
Mine lasted about a year before the housing cracked

That gm one was maybe 18 months old. See how it gets on will update it in a few months.

me either really. see what occurs in time though. gonna do a few oil changes on it the next few weeks before its in for mapping.
in other news, off to look at a 54 plate 330d bmw for 3500 quid tomorrow. hopefully if its good enough, will acquire it as the new daily and tow car.

nah trade in wasn't wanted so i sold it separately last night. vectra is now owned by a mate and will be on the road soon, which will be annoying as i liked that car a lot pmsl.
enjoying the diesel torques though.

take one amazing abs sensor from unipart for cheap
jack car up, then due to being unable to take further pics as it got busy in the car bay at work, fit the sensor, which was a piece of piss tbh, now car has working traction control and abs again. lovely stuff.
