Due to working waayyyy too many hours a week cav really has been put on hold due to pretty much working and sleeping

Bought a couple of bits

A megasquirt mapable ecu kit that was assembled by a mate of mine (who used to do wonderful things fixing really expensive hifis that ive never even heard of)

And might have bought a new numberplate

Washers have been on a long time, i did have normal headlights in for a while, might change them back in the summer. Thought id get the throttle bodies on and working and go from there.

Nope not had chance only had crap offers so in no rush ive got about 12 months to get the xe plate on

Just to please troy (who might not even read this) on sat i replaced my heater matrix for a brand new vauxhall one and left the carpet out to dry off the water that had been soaking into it for the last couple of weeks :(

and fitted two new tyres on the front http://www.1010tires.com/Tires/Reviews/ ... iex+ZE-912 as they were heading into 3 points a piece territory.

Picked up some orange bulbs for the indicators i did on the last post from halfords £4.99!!!! - good job i had my trade card- £1.
