ok its been a while since I posted on here lol The mods I have done so far are:

Chipped Knightsports ECU so that I can run to 0.9Bar of boost on the stock turbo, good for only about 300bhp or so (Im running the stock turbo for a bit until I get all the extra parts for the new turbo)

New twin exhaust (3" downpipe, 3" racing beat midbox going into a 2.5" Y piece though to custom stubby rear cans with 3.5" exits with flamed tips)

Image
Image
Image

60MM aluminium radiator still to go in to increase cooling for the extra heat involved at higher boost:

Image

Lightweight aluminium bonnet aquired off the convertable model which is much much lighter than the coupe bonnet that im sure is made of lead lol (is currently being painted to match the body colour)

Image

I will be installed a Stack Wideband O2 sensor so ensure that the fueling doesn't go lean on boost (not good lol)

Image

Oh, and im now running clear front indicators:

Image

I have taken the car down to a garage to get the wastegate on the turbo ported due to the complete lack of back pressure this new exhaust has created, its getting the front splitter, bonnet and spoiler colour coded and will be back soon.

I am also getting another custom downpipe made to cover both the wastegate and turbine exit as an open mouth arangement, as far as I know im the first in the world to install it on an FC :)

Its ok, I already have a stick on number plate like I see on some MX5s, but yes it will be going soon, the problem is that if I went for a Jap plate I can't put it off centre as it would block the ducting for the brake cooling so its staying UK shape as it is a UK spec car, I will sort it out soon don't worry lol
