mot tomorrow. I'm hoping they can source the humming out but not be something to do with a failure lol.

Anyways today I had that tyre changed, someone said it would be that what's at fault, but I had a feeling it wasn't, and nope, the humming is still there.

Not often you see 2 volvos getting tyres done together...

Also as autospecialist provided the wrong hose for the intercooler, today I received the replacement

So thought I'd try out the big puzzle of pipes and see which goes where.

No real rush too but next time I'm near my tuners I might pop in and ask them see if they can.

 

Unfortunately the mot went well. Clean pass. I asked them to see if there's any noticeable wear on anything that would cause this humming and there's no signs of anything :/ making me wonder, could it be the diff at fault?

Anyways some mot pics. Was funny watching them try and get her on the ramps. Good job they had plenty of wood haha.

Just been to pick kids up from school and don't think I'll have time to get that intercooler on as it's already going dark :(

Ok so to start off, I got around to fitting that intercooler. And what a ball ache it was to fit. Took me 3 days in total but only because of weather etc.
Anyways got bumper off and old intercooler off in no time.fitted the new intercooler fine and the hot side boost pipes. Problems came when I got round to  the cold side pipe. There was a mount on the radiator for the fan and was pressing the cold side pipe right in. I didn't have anything to cut it so had to call it a day. Day 2 I went out and bought a dremel, cut away at the mount and grinder it down all smooth. Perfect job :) so fitted the bottom silicon elbow on the cold side, then the alloy middle pipe, then came to fitting the top silicone pipe to that and the throttle body. And I'd only gone and pushed the alloy one to far down and what a pig to pull it back up, lack of space and because it was that tight in the silicon it would hardly move. I got it rather close but ended up being knackered and hands where battered so called it a day. Day 3 full of energy, got it on within 10mins lol. By the end of the day the car was complete. 
Now some pics...

And that's it for this update pic wise.
As for my mates green rs I was aloud to take it out for a drive. As I've been concidering changing software and going full stand alone ecu for quite a while now.  I'm concidering syvecs. My mates rs is running syvecs which is why he said take it out. Straight away I fell in love with it. Launch control is epic. Flat shifting is fun. Anti lag sounds amazing. Overall the revs felt so smooth and everything just ran perfect. So I'm sold with syvecs. Time to save lol...
