Milltek sports cat, I'm guessing 200cel but I'm not actually sure. :ashamed:

MOT certificate has changed since last time, didn't understand it then, don't understand it now. But here's all it says:

Finally got round to fitting my Mtec Superwhite sidelights to go with my Mtec H7's. Used on their own, I found that they don't light up the road at all. I'm not really worried though because I can't remember the last time I used the sidelights solely, I either have both sidelights and dipped beams on or no lights at all. I am happy with the colour of them, slight tinge of blue, not sure if they are 'too' blue for the road.







With dipped beams on too:

My pescaras were getting a few war wounds and needed a refurb, I wanted a slightly darker colour but couldn't decide on one so...

Ordered a new set of BBS VZ wheels in Titanium from W8 Performance...

Put 2 coats of Poorboys wheel sealant on to help protect them, then got them fitted this morning:

18x8 with around a 40 something offset sit perfectly on the MK5 platform for me Mandy  :happy2: They look great.

If it wasn't for buying my Speedlines, I'd have got some VZ's instead  :party:

Thanks Pete, I was a bit reluctant to sell the pescaras at first but haven't missed them since having the VZ's. :smiley:

My oem fuel pump was being bullied by the Revo stage 2 map on the car so it was time to take the plunge and buy an APR fuel pump, luckily one came along at just the right time! This wasn't something I wanted to have to do or ever planned on doing before upgrading to stage 2, I thought I'd get away with it but, no. The oem fuel pump was about 35bar off so it had to be done...

Graph showing the oem pump struggling:



So I took my car to JKM today and had the APR fuel pump fitted (note to self: mileage 45900), I believe the problem has been rectified and the car seems much happier to go. :driver:

So far I am very pleased with the new fuel pump and the performance of the car. :smiley:
