Looking good, yea I need to do a nut and bolt on mine aswell, started using mine for work to rack some miles up on it!

Hows the torque steer in yours? I think I may have just forgoteen how bad it is in these but mine is savage and it has alot less than it used to

Torque steer I haven't really noticed tbh mines still on a 'Open' diff in the f28, wonder if your feeling it more with the LSD and the semi slick tyres

Little update nothing much been done really. Other than. Keeping it clean.

However I've managed to fit my £20 bargain of leather doorcards I picked up last year at VBOA I will be sorting the seats out soon, gonna have the gsi trim half leathered

Wile I was on I moved my tweeters back upto the mirror covers so cut out the old GM tweets and used the cage to house my JBLs. Made them a tight fit and sealed them in.


Moving on what I thought was champion ready for the wedding. The car gives me problems. I had 3 days off prior our wedding I took the car out for a test run went to get fuel in etc on my way down she was spluttering and hesitant didn't want to rev or move hardly. I thought It was fuel related. So got to Shell £30 of Vpower might cure it. NOPE I had a rev limit of 2.5k stopped of at my friend's garage for a look at it. Found a vac pipe off. Could that of been my fault NOPE. Drove home with a 3k limiter. Called into my old parts supply ordered 2 crank sensors one for spares.
Old one out

Changed it no different by this point I was flapping tried a TPS. Then I thought F*#k it changed my Di cassette. Finally issue resolved revved up past 5k took it out for a road test and planted it. Maximum boost, Maximum RPM job done.

Wedding day 20-04-24
Woke myself up early as I had the car to ribbon up plus I'd left it out on the drive over night to save time. Didn't really save anytime as what can only be described as a Giant Condor decided my car was a good toilet
So washed the full side off and had to quick detail the car again. Got sorted got the ribbons on and stood it out the front in the sun


Couple of shots from the day
