At least you'll have something decent to listen to whilst it's stuck on your drive Chris! 

It's all fixed. Touch wood. A few bits to do still, air con fix, a leak somewhere (oil or power steering) 

 

Added a few little touches...and a ramair induction kit! Sounds epic now!

Now remapped so along with the induction kit it's a bit more of an animal. Got to sort the Aircon out but that's a bit beyond my technical know-how so will leave that to a professional. 

 

Planning on wrapping it..going to give it a go myself! Also started refurbing the wheels and painting them gunmetal grey.

Few issues have reared their heads. 

 

Recirc valve has failed so an excuse to upgrade. 

 

Got a rattle, possibly heatshield.

 

Need a new turbo actuator and intercooler to increase the power some more too. Also got to service it and sort out the dent in passenger wing before I wrap it!

The wrap has had to take a backseat anyway because the Max has been playing up. New rear disks and pads fitted but now have a split vac pipe to fix and a recirc valve. All £ but good experience for me doing my own repairs! Also gotta fix a dent in the wing before it can be wrapped. 

 

The max is still very much my project but will have to split funds between the 2 for now. The Suzuki has a deadline due to the MOT being due in October.
