Went out for a spin earlier with Josh riding shotgun with a camera
Doesn't seem as smoky as it was last night, idle hasn't got any better
Starts easy, and the cold stinky white Stanadyne stink is gone
I sold my door cards to a mate, so I need to get on with the spare ones, No Slider's amazing job has also stirred me into action, first the cards got stripped and doused in degreaser and scrubbed.
Rinsed and washed down with fairy liquid, rinsed again and scrubbed with sugar soap
Cut some circles out of plastic, welded them into the redundant window winder holes and then splodged with JB Weld
Gave the door handles the first coat of Wurth dye, dabbing with the sponge to try and keep the texture
Need another coat but looking good

I can remap and knock the fuelling back on tickover if you require, just send me the current file. If you want the boost limit raising & capping at the MAP sensor range that'll give you additional adjustment on the preload.
Is it still going into limp with more fuel / energy off of those 0.24's?
Lovely burble from the exhaust on tickover and the smoke run vids.

Yeah it sounds really fit at the moment, lots of compressor whistle through the K&N setup - which is now mounted up on pillars.

Started on the door cards today, first up carpet the top half, top tip, don't try and use HTA adhesive on veltrim or at least don't try and apply it by brush, way too easy to apply too much and it bleeds through, I coated the panel in HTA and the fabric in spray contact adhesive.
And then first coat of Wurth dye, camera has picked up the streaks very well. Should be better when dried and even better when re-coated (hopefully)
Dash and the A pillars are next...

Just some cheapo 6mm wide plastic chrome strip from ebay, seems to have stuck down ok which is good
