  • I finally did the un-thinkable. I decided I needed a bit of me time tonight so I went down stairs and had a play in the garrage with a glass of taylors chardonnay in hand and un-packed my box from ECS tuning that was delivered about 6 months ago now. I took the camera down with me but my computer has decided it doesn't want to read my SD card so photos will be tomorrow once my laptop is back from repair.

    Everything is there - I must say it's going to be a mamoth job! I recon there are over 80 individual bits and pieces in that box and I still need to pay for tuning on top of that but I suspect it's going to happen in the not too distant future.

    So the last part is do I do it in two parts (LSD, clutch, timing and drive belts plus pulleys & then turbo etc and tuning) or do I just keep saving my pennys and do it all in one go...

        • Holy ****e it's an update! Good to see this is starting back up Neil.
          In my opinion I reckon just save a bit and do the whole lot in one hit. That's what I'm planning to do with my next update. Mounts, Haldex, tiebar and skid plate all in one go. Should save a few pennies and just easier due to not having to organise time off and lifts etc backwards and forwards from the mechnaics.
          Cheers,

                haha I don't like those chances - There are always teething issues.

                Goodluck Neil can't want to see the finished product!
