I'll take it off and shape it better, or just keep it over the cat only as it isnt really needed anywhere else.

Very short lol, getting abit solid now so i think the Gbox oil might be a tad low but its a very worth while mod, been told to look into getting a lghtened flywheel aswell,
£57.50 to have it lightened by Autosprint

Jesus that is short I have a plastic surround around mine which houses the immobiliser so I'll have to put that back on but leave the leather surround off, does it find the gears alot better now?

Decatitivate the imobilizer, then you can remove all the plastic trim, tuck the wiring away under the carpet.

How do you do that?

I won't do that yet but that's something I'll probably do when the car loses some weight when the buckets are going in, it will be getting stripped out then.

Punch the code in, start the car, remove the imobilzer box. Dont know if you can plug it back in afterwards though, might end up fucking it. Will mean you ECU is unlocked then too when you come to sell the engine/ecu for a 16v

Quickshift has been fitted, gearchange is a lot smoother and tighter now. I've ordered an OMP gearknob aswell as the standard one is fucking huge so it'l look loads smaller once that is fitted, will probably spray it matt black aswell.
