dial lights changed for some nice white led's

nasty yellow ones.. with one missing lol

dials out

nice white led's. pretty good guess seeing as they only go in one way iirc, did this during the day and couldnt really see the light lol

prefer these to the blue ones i used to have in my old dials, much smarter

few parts should be here this week

its due an oil change as its been running on semi-synthetic for the first 1k miles after the re-build, think were gonig to change it to fully synthetic and at the same time re wire my throttle body, at last!

turbo gasket arrived in the post today, pulleys should be with me tomorrow followed by the drop links and turbo manifold

poped over to warrens the other evening for an oil/filter change and drop links fitted, and he re wired up my throttle body for me, done a very tidy job

also discussed a few things regarding the turbo, he has all the parts with him. first things first, find somewher to re flange the manifold, find out exactly what garrett t25 i have/what it came off of, in order to get exhaust/turbo parts.

new drop links, 5 minute job but while the car was there on his ramps, in the dry, i thoguht i might aswell ask him to do them for me lol

i also have a spare venier pulley in anodised blue for sale if anybody is interested as i only need one

on and i bought the turbo intake pipe. looking out for a decent 2.5" system, or a custom system..

powerspeed want £600 for a one box turbo back system, or £700 with mandral bends!

or just a down pipe will be £175.
