Car was crying out for a boost gauge so a Defi gauge and controller was fitted

Image

Image

i had though about wrapping the original boost hoses with clamps or cable ties to stop them expanding under load but I decided against it and ordered some samco hoses

Image

Image

Image

Image

The interior lighting in an Mr2 is more like candles then bulbs, So the next thing ordered was some LED bulbs. Took two seconds to changed and has made a massive improvement over standard.

Image

To go with the blue hoses, A set of new HT leads turned up

Image :D

I'll get them fitted and take some new photographs this weekend
