Tint film arrived Monday. I tested fitted it to one fog light. Took 3 layers of film to achieve the darkness and colour I wanted but what do I expect for £1.50 lol. But it looks good. So I will be buying some blue tint spray and do it that way.

Ok so loads of pics from today's llangollen st-oc meet which I organise. An excellent turn out this month. The numbers are growing. Pics are taken by me and other members that showed up.

Also I got a bargain purchase when up there. Not something I need but an upgrade never the less. It's an alloy radiator. Worth £200 and I got it off another st member brand new for the bargain price of £40. Caching $$££!!!

Well my push start gel badge came today.

But unfortunately they sent me the wrong one. Not the design I made.

Still looks good tho.

A very busy day today and all so far so good.

Car has been chucking maf code up for a while now. Partly when I fitted my down pipe I also fitted a lambder 90° spacer to my decat (which stopped decat light coming on. But the maf light has come on more frequent since I extended the induction kit to behind the bumper.

So today I removed the lambda spacer, and also moved my induction back to a group A setup. I also had to cut an alloy pipe so it was shorter and cut a silicone hose shorter too and put them between the maf sensor and the 90° bend so there's a smoother flow of air going past the maf. Engine bay looks better again with filter in the bay, fills up a big space.

Carbon in the lambda spacer which I was told can cause problems. My remap deleted the lambda code anyway so it's not needed no more.

And how my induction looks now. Along with the straight custom bit in front of maf

And so far it does seem to have eliminated a flat spot I was getting and no more smell of overfueling and my mpg took a big step for the better. I've only nipped out in it to McDonald's tho haha.

Also today I got into primering the big part of the engine cover and the slam pannel cover. I'm still yet to sand the small part of the engine cover. But so far so good again. No reactions this time

Before primer

After plastic primer

And also I've ordered some blue boost hoses. Should look nice and upgrade the standard ones that look a bit corroded

And to finish the day off a nice closure pic for the update. Shame car wasn't washed before it as would have made a pretty decent pic.

Oh and a video of my group a.

No dump valve needed here :

Some more pics.

First off is I drove the car the other night for the first time at night with the new knobs and they do look quite good at night.

And today started painting slam panel cover. Did 2 coats and ran out of paint :/ thought I had loads left.

Oh well will buy some more tomorrow.

Also an update on my maf situation. Drove to Wales and back today and to Crewe and back and still no smell of fuel or eml and my mpg has vastly improved. I was averaging mid 30's mpg overall today and I wasn't going easy as the car just feels more responsive and feels like a massive power gain. Knew it wasn't performing as well lately but didn't realise until today just how bad it was. The power is immense again. Even the missus noticed how well it was pulling again.
