No need to bring booze. I'm happy to help one customer sell a decent car to another customer who will appreciate it.

i had mine throw a few CEL's at me when i first got mine.. was about 30 odd thousand k's old too.. after the third time i gave it to mao and warick and has since had a 50'000k pounding without missing a beat.. think they mentioned something about the tune and how the wastegate was activating too early? either way get it checked out!

I looked at a photo of the car when it was on the dyno and its got the stock air intake with a pod and a different BOV. It may be possible that the air intake was installed after the tune and being so much bigger than the stock one is causing it to lean out slightly. Im going to ring asg and booked a power run in and get the AFR's checked out at the same time.

Had a really good look under the hood today. Got my head around all of the original owners work, however found afew things i had to fix. The tube running from the wastegate solenoid to the actuator was to big and wasnt sealing properly onto the actuator. I need tO get some inline reducers to fix this problem so atm it will have to stay how it is. Had tge same issue with at least 4 other connections that i was able to fix by replacing the tube. Why people do things half ass has got me stumped.

Took the car to ASG to have the AFR's and tune checked out. Sean had to make afew adjustments as the tune was fairly out.

So now the car sits at 259hp 397nm
