Spent another night at the shop... 10pm to 1am.. Needed to drop a set of tpms for the wheels to get remounted. I'll be having a Tpms px display on my android screen in the car, will also display other crap. lap times, temps and other useless info.

Also uploaded tune #10...

Wiped a bunch of codes, restarted, wiped more codes and then called it a night...

(My little corner in the workshop)

Its not my shop, ive made a special deal with Adam, the guy who co-owns the shop that i can come and go as i please, use the lift (its been on the lift now for over a month lolol) (there are 3 other lifts in the shop) and also avail of any mech/avionics help that id need, obviously charged at some rate or rather... but its working out well.

Id def recommend his services/shop.. very good guy to work with. A.M. Motorwerks in Al Quiz, DXB.

Also again, just gotta say thanks for the support from Josh@Severn. Top notch buddy.

Stuffing around with the Android box that's going into the bottom of the dash panel.. initially I bought a touch screen extender that I was going to use instead, but this is much less hassle and weighs pretty close to f**k all.
I was struggling with GPS lap timer , but this will run Harry's petrol head lap timer.. pretty solid app that. And does more than I need it to do.

Don't mind the doddgy as F power brick hook up.. I promise I'll do a proper job in the car, this is just for setting up.

Eagle eyes will also spot the tpms usb receiver.

Woo hoo! It lives

I'd keep well out from the kerbs though. Don't want to arrive at the track with a small child dangling off the end of the rear spoiler.

Good to see an update but ..................

any chance of a close up of the wheels so we can see the colour you had them painted and I would personally prefer the sound of the car rather than music

Cheers

Spal thermo fan installed with overide on/off switch. Weighs 1.7kgs less than OEM, and has more CFM.

Due to no longer having a condenser, the flow through the rad is pretty awesome and thus doesn't require the huge and super heavy 60w OEM fan.

That's pretty cool. Is it plug and play?
