Yeah, 1.2 injector + a new lambda should sort it fine.

Phil, theres a good chance of that tbh, as the car hasnt been that hot in two years, it was sitting in the MOT station getting 3.5k revs for near an hour, plus severe thrashing for 30 miles to try and get it to pass the emissions.

Overall disaster tonight.

Snapped GSI bumper, hanging on by one mount, which is fucked anyway.

Snapped exhaust bolts, manifold needs to come off, will be more snapped bolts.

I hate this car.

Snapped it clean off there, popped it off along all the bottom mounts, lost all the screws.

Dont know how the fuck it caught, coming off the ramp after doing the sump, caught somehow and ripped it off, gutted



New sump at least on, manifold came off without snapping bolts surprisingly, getting drilled tomorrow as 1 downpipe bolt snapped.



New oil & filter tomorrow, plus the gaskets. Then fix the bumper, MOT saturday again.

Well, after a couple of days of disaster, tonight was a bit of a turning point.

So the bumper was like this after last nights accident with the ramp:



Fixed it up tonight, doesnt fit as it was, but its solid again.





Got the manifold back on:



And stripped down the inlet for the new gaskets & injector:



Also put a new oil filter on it tonight, along with some nice new golden oil

Cleaned up my K&N today, oiled it up aswell, like new again.

Hopefully the gaskets & injector will be here tomorrow, then I can fix it up for the MOT Saturday. If it doesnt go in for the MOT Saturday, then I cant get it for my birthday
