haha, no i did not!! Still only managed a 14.5 haha!! Did you get my text today? Looking forward to getting this suspension sorted. I'm putting a lot of hope on this. The drive to uni everyday is bloody horrible in it just now and it's all down to the suspension being past it!

I never but just had a look and it's there!!! My last phone died by getting squashed between me and a beer keg so it now lives away from me... I miss a lot trying to preserve the darn thing!!!
I'll have a read and reply if the opportunity arises

Nothing much to report. Been trying not to use the mr2 too much as the roads are covered in salt here now. I now have 1000cc top feeds to go in. Just trying to sort out the correct seals for the head then I'll get them in
Re: My 400whp saga, 373whp after mapping.
the salts horrific around the midlands. constantly having to use my wipers/washer fluid to be able to see anything. hoping to map it in the new year?

Yeah as soon as possible. I've a 70 mile round trip for uni everyday and a 30 mile round trip for work every night. I just couldn't face putting the mr2 through that. My mate Kris is gonna mock up the new injectors and rail on another head so its ready to fit. I need to sort out my electrical issue as well before mapping but as soon as xmas is out the way I'm hoping to get it done. I think the car may need a new alternator hopefully have it mapped before the end of January though, Ready for the spring
Ended up buying a wee rotbox Audi A3. 192k on the clock, rusty wings etc!

I did buy it yeah, Garage next door to my recording studio had it up for sale, (the guys who painted my mr2). It was pennies so paid what it was worth haha. It actually drives really well and is stupidly good on fuel. The mr2 has been sat in the drive doing nothing. Hoping to have the fuel system sorted asap though then have it mapped and finished BEFORE spring. I'd like to have it fully finished before i start using it again As soon as the injectors and rail are off I'll get them to you bud

Yeah the mr2 is no use for uni/work. Gonna just use it at weekends I think. Run the audi into the ground!
Re: My 400whp saga, 373whp after mapping.

Re: My 400whp saga, 373whp after mapping.

Maintenance and enjoyment. The goal was always 400 at the wheels which it's extremely close to already. I'll most likely make it a dry weather/weekend car.
