Full clean before remapping
« Reply #8301 on: June 22, 2015, 12:25:45 pm »
Now that the car has an Evoms intake with 3" downpipe with sports cat it's ready for the remap in a couple of weeks, since it's been so nice I've fully cleaned inside and out, taking the time to restore the plastics with 303 Aerospace Protectorant, looking pretty nice now.

Fingers crossed the upgraded fuel pump and remap go to plan with no nasty surprises.

A few pictures before it gets mucky again :

Car sailed through its MOT without any advisories.

Full ticket now until 20 July 2016

What a lovely feeling


So much for keeping it standard!

Snapped this pic of the cylinder walls...they show a tiny bit of piston skirt slap, but nothing too concerning. Valve job is complete and just waiting on a new piston...then new piston rings and rod bearings...and done :drinking:

Cylinders 2 through 4 shown:
