Have a search, there is a photowhoring thread that needs bumping back up to the top of the pile   :wink:

 

Haha ill have a look Tom

 

Looking sweet as always... How did you get the headlights to shine up like that. Tried buffering mine up a little and still got mold on it!  :angry:

 

They are just like that mate, really good condition!

 

Wow, your car is so photogenic. I need to sort my front end out before I begin the photowhoring  :grin:

Its about the ambient lighting :)

Cheers Maz

Not really done any updates but have had decat fitted, was quite excited to take it out and here the rasp, sounded a bit sh1t to be honest, upon further investigation its blowing from the decat somewhere and theres literally nothing I hate worse on a car than a blowing exhaust, so trying not to drive it until fixed on thursday cos it annoys me too much, and it badly needs a clean :(

Shame it's blowing and I agree with you there, I hate the sound of blowing exhaust. I know this sound stupid but you did make sure the bolt for the lamba sensor recess is done up tight, right? My mate done that mistake and a screw on type bolt eventually came off. Instant loss of power and sound worst than a Fleabay fart can  :roll:  :lol:

Dont know that it has one mate? Although he did say there was no place for the 02 sensor to go so its just unplugged now

Just took it for spin sounds awful and tried to overtake a van after it pulled out in front of me and was well sluggish even in 2nd! Thought it might have been the air con sapping the power

Anyway so had a look underneath, think its blowing from around the front bit.. But not 100%

Old plug

It should have had a hole for the O2 sensor, this will affect the running as the ecu uses the reading from this to map fuel delivery, with a faulty or missing sensor it will cut fuel right back.

 

If the decat didn't have a fitting for the sensor you're going to need to swap it back for the standard one. :sad:
