Well I've been relatively quiet over the last few weeks. Had a bit of a nightmare working with arnold clark for a few weeks before being left with no job, but im working again so ive managed to make a little bit more progress.
Some custom parts came from overseas

And it works, no limp mode, jumpy idle or fault lights. Sounds pretty decent to. Car has lost a little bit of power but im thinking the ECU's holding back because of the change and no doubt a little bit of heat soak. gonna stick with this just now and see if any issues arise. Been working on the car most of the day.
Bought new DRLs as one of my old ones had started to fail. Wish I had bought the same ones again as the ones I bought have been a nightmare.
This happened after I went a drive after fitting them.

As you can see both broke off and fell inside the lights.tried using double sided tape that is now stuck inside the light, so im gonna need to split it
This had to happen as a result of that

After they were out I soldered the bases back on and again the bulbs were crap haha, wouldnt have minded going to all the effort if they were bright but they are garbage. I need a MOT, new wipers, an oil change and also need new tyres :( and possibly a new offside headlight so aye having a good time, but the turbo singing is making up for it.
