160 Remap
Nice to meet marinabrian today. Kindly came to my house and added a few features to the old girl including a 160 remap. Drives lovely now nice torque curve and better response from the auto box.
Finished off with a wash to get rid of the flies collected on test run [IMG]IMG_0471 by Alan Motherwell, on Flickr[/IMG] |

Finally got around to fitting a Revotec fan from Jules.
Took me the best part of Friday but I felt very satisfied in the end when all was back together. The trickiest part was cutting round air con pipes on the fan cowling. Ended up using a combination of a Dremmel and holding a junior hack saw blade with gardening gloves. Taking it in next week to get the air con gassed up. Happy days |

Today I finally managed to change all the rear suspension parts. So now our Rosey has gone from this
To this Although now she is sitting really high at the rear but hopefully that will settle down once the new shocks have had a bit of a bounce Just a bit of welding and the handbrake to do now for the MOT next week, plus a new crank pulley

No that's the wood o matic axle stand, carefully cobbled together from some bits that were lying about. It worked though as I'm not dead and the car is running so all is right with the world

Took my newly fitted xenons out as one has broken internally - sticking with original halogens I reckon. Successfully fitted an auto dimming rear view mirror and a pair of illuminated sunvisors

Not me, but someone drove into my 75 today at work. Has made a mess of the front wing. Really annoyed.
