Yer defo mate, no Leon or Marc then, what are they like, we'll have to shame them into coming.
I'll go to Santapod when my car is done (late this year at a push but more likely next), just not going to PVS when I've nothing to run. No point really unless I run the GSI and its full of chavs.
Update:
Got some wiring pins from the breakers the other day so got the electric sunroof and mirror feeds soldrede and pinned into the main connector in the n/s footwell. I also sorted some ring connectors for a few earths in the o/s footwell, made a mini loom for the footwell lights, fitted both footwell trims back in, then sorted some wiring to lenghten the feeds for the oil pressure and temp guages and ran it into the bay.
Hopefully that's all the wiring i'll need to do before it hits the road this year..
(No pics as my bloody phone's decided to constantly re-boot itself..

Will you be running more boost this year Ian?
Update:
Got the boost set up to a point where i'm happy its safe, its now on 2 1/4 turns of pre-load on the 0.5 bar spring, it did brake my back again at one point with a massive boost cut in third gear but that's life..
Needs setting up properly on a rolling road so that's the next step next month at some point..

Pre-load sounds about right there. What boost pressure are you running?
Oh right ok! My boost is still a bit over, hopefully sort it out with a map though.
No mate. Will sort it once back on the road.
Mines on with 90 second araldite never coming off
Must be the Sahara like climate we're experiencing at the moment Ian 
oh wait...
Don't do what jack did and remount it while applying pressure, then push it through the windscreen

I pulled off a big chunk of glass pulling the original mirror off lol. I'm amazed the screen has never cracked, especially with how low and stiff my car is!
Update:
Went to Maplins yesterday and picked up some resisters to sort my old school Pioneer out:
The resisters fit in the wiring harness:
And one old school Pioneer up and running again:
Started on my boot build today aswell no pics yet as ive been basically working out where i'm putting everything and how i'm going to do it..
