Few more bits done now. Short shifter fitted and works great, had to remove the turbo to replace some gaskets, bolts, lambda sensor, oil change & coolant change at the same time. After this was done I have tweaked the boost controller to peak @ 1.2bar and hold 1.1bar. Bit risky but not really bothered if the engine lets go. Really nice to drive now with plenty of poke for the minute to have some fun.



Number plate now in the correct place



Some nice Recaro seats to replace the dated grey interior, have the rear bench also but not in picture. Going to remove the dash at the weekend ready for flocking.

Seats.





Battery reloction kit to be done when dash and interior is out. Also got some Defi gauges + pillar pod on the way once a price is agreed.




Defi gauges now price has been sorted.
Out of one of my old cars, almost new.

Well a few more bits being done today. Pulled the dash out along with the console + trims ready for flocking. Lots of wiring to sort out and to tidy up as you can see, one of the worst I have seen but I guess it's now 15+ years old so many people have been hacking away.

Pulled all this out in approx 1hrs 30mins.

Going to wire in the new gauges, relocate the battery to the boot whilst the dash is out. I reackon the above with the wiring to be sorted is a solid days work.

Front end looks damn menacing man.. btw, what is flocking & what brand of gauge pillar mount did you have there, does it extend all the way up (replacing the oem) or screw on?
