Looks smart. What power do these go up to on a stage 1 chip?

Average is around 300bhp & 400lb/ft - mine will have the potential for around 310bhp with the Pre-cat removal section fitted.
That figure is for both 255 & 280PS models, you see the same results regardless.

Managed to get the new EDS Pre-Cat removal pipe fitted yesterday.
Snapped a Stud on the Turbo though, so that needed drilling out etc, but all came together in the end. No blows! Finally... Moral of the story - Buy cheap, buy twice 
So, today, at 1 year and a week since the last time, it went back on the rollers.
Still healthy and consistent figures. Downpipe didn't make a big difference at this point, but should do once mapped.

Joy.
No obvious cause as it seems to be from the screen edge, and there is no chip along it atall. Appeared whilst parked - ok when the car was left, came back to it like that. Bah.
May try to get the replacement with a rain/light sensor and carry out some retrofits and upgrades though...

Windscreen done.
Now with Top Tint & Sensor bracket etc. On the look for the gubbins needed to do the upgrades now. Found the loom up in the headlining, so need the sensor & light switch, and then a local Tech2 owner/user...
Need a new Club Sticker though

Looks awesome in those pics a little way up the page from the meet. They show off the wheels much better than in previous pics I think. Lovely car.

They still need to go Silver though... I very lightly nipped a Kerb with one a couple of weeks back, first time since fitting them

Shame. I wasn't overly convinced by them when they were first fitted but they look great in the pics above. I quite like the sort of matte finish to them and the silver lip finishes them off well.

Auto lights are fantastic. Mine are always on auto.
Hate the noise the car makes when you don't have them on auto and leave the lights on.

My Mazda has all the Auto gubbins, only really turn off the Wipers occasionally.
Retrofitisn't fully completed, need the sensor and Tech2 activation yet, but the Headlight switch was the hardest part to source and luckily there was just the one on eBay. Was being the key word

Thirsty, but good fun. Really can't wait for mapping and Exhaust mods for more noise. I'll be pretty happy for a while then

Christmas & New Year Shenanigans...
Flat tyre on Christmas day, couldn't get it done until the 27th though. Non-repairable, new tyre bought... Luckily not one of the ones just replaced!
Then a mirror glass fell off when I was washing it. Luckily, not the backing pad and a glass was found in Halfords;
Then it looked quite pleasant, all clean. Makes a change.
Plus some good figures once again

Cheap tweaks.
These kits normally go for about £50 on eBay, as well as through Forums.
I went on the prowl at a Scrapyard earlier - managed to get the Mirror, Surround Trim and Wiring Harness for the grand total of £10...
Then, got everything tested and fitted - all good

Is that including the sensor or did you already have that?

Auto dimming rear view mirror? If so, great bit of kit.
Amazing how much difference it makes when you have a range rover or a shitheap with badly misaligned headlamps behind you.
Had someone full beam me a while back, didn't bother me one bit
