and now the crap part!!!!

so a few weeks ago i decided to fix a leak on my manifold that iv had for months

and after that i started to get timing pull and detonation

turned down the boost and it helped a bit, thought meh maybe its just because the leak is fixed

then it started to get worse, changed fpr to 3 bar and fitted the 440cc

the car was ok but not wow

upped the boost to 1.4bar and then it all came crashing down

changed actuator, fitted duel wmi, fixed boost pipe

still nothing its like it got worse with the actuator being fixed

so i changed knock sensors
maf
lambda
cam chain tensioner
plugs
coilpacks
and still nothing still pulling timing and feels weak

booked in on tuesday for a map and hope it sorts it out, if not then im gona burn the car

A pillars with black bride cloth

sprayed my b and c pillars in black

and layed my roof with the bride alcantara





































 
then got some visors and other parts from a S3 thats black already so that helped



but never got these so hunt continues

now recently if anyone has seen my fb page FSU Developments you would see that i have started with carbon fibre

first up was doing the steering column surround in carbon Kevlar

not too happy with how it came out but suppose its a first attempt and not to bad

This is awesome Miggles!

Love the lengths you're going to and the effort you're putting into being different.

But what matters is it's good different. Not sh*t different for differents sake.

Excellent work as always :racer:

Except when you're wrapping your steering column surround in Kevlar, or adding the word 'bride' to your door cards :laugh:

I hope the irony isn't wasted on you miggles

We can all appreciate a little form sometimes too! Don't be afraid of that.

(Love you too xxxx)
