Little update, my friend with an Essesse bet me a fair amount of money that my T-jet would never beat him in a quarter mile... Well I'm not one to turn down a challenge. So time to get started.
Got my hands on a loverly Forge induction today which will be going on tomorrow, my forge intercooler is on order, and looking for an Essesse garret turbo now, then more to follow
. oh it's gonna happen! My insurance will love my next phone call haha.

Oh, and I have no idea how, but my car has done 270 miles on half a tank... Never seen figures that high lol. 
That good , could you measure your intercooler when you get it as am looking to change mine but want a black intercooler not sliver
Rather have it reflecting heat rather than it absorbing any.

Fitted the intake this morning, everyone has problems with the mount snapping so I made a new one that won't , sounds lovely! And give the bay a tidy up while I was at it.
Intercooler to go on next which I aren't tooling forward too!! Need take whole front of the car to pieces.

Intercooler is easy, a bit time consuming if you have any bolts under the bumper that don't want to come off. But other than that its not to bad.

As some of you know who have me on Facebook, ive been quiet big on the idea of Plasti-dipping my car, as my paint work is horrible! everything is fading and mismatching and really needs something doing. The only colour ive had no doubts about is White Gloss :/ ive always loved them in white and i did originally try to buy a white T-jet before orange, which makes me think maybe its the right colour to choose. ill also be plasti-dipping my alloys/roof/all minor trim/and also designing my own diffuser, all out of black gloss plasti-dip. Any Thoughts?.
You need to put your new goodies up

As those of you know with the Abarth back boxs the tips are in the wrong place due to them bending down under the abarths plastic trim!, it annoyed me too much, so i cut my tips off and welded them back on in the correct position! looks so much better now .

Nice one mate looks better
Exhaust looks good! I know it sounds good

Had a lovely delivery today! so thought ide make the most of this weather and get a nice mod done before MITcar, as allways it starts with a nice clean car
Here is what i had delivered, PLASTIDIP!
i recently had my abarth exhaust kit on, and thought it looks a little bit lonely on its own and needs a bit of spicing up! so this is what i came up with.
firstly masked off the area i wanted to spray up,
then got to work learning how to use plastidip, which is very easy i may add!, this is the first coat 50% coverage.
this is 4 coats, and 100% coverage, and then pealed the tape off and left it to dry to its matte finish, while i did that i tidied up the front end and gave that another coat of black, and then glossifier over the top!
Once the back was fully dry (30 mins or so) i then give 2 coats of glossifier over the top to finish it off and personally i think it looks awesome!, such an easy mod but makes a huge difference.
