Time for an update...
It's been a while.
I moved abroad, struggled to fix my issues. Sold my C-West front bumper, DoLuck fenders, TRD Bonnet, Trial rear. Custom 3" intercooler setup. Halo headlights. All issues are now fixed, and I've spent the past 12 months working on the car to the standard it should have been but never was. Cracked fibreglass pushed me to sell the whole exterior setup and rebuild for more horsepower.
Right this second the car is being resprayed and finalising the finishing touches on my bodywork modifications before the new ECU and then remap. I'm not going for the cleanest or prettiest engine bay guys so please don't judge me! It's the outside I'm focusing on with reliability in the engine area. So here's the current status update.
