You might find having the stock TPS and Narrowband hard to tune with. Whilst everyone will say you don't need them, it is sure as hell hard to get a good idle or tune without them.

Very good point.

I do have a Toyota/Denso TPS from the ITBs that I could wire up to use right away. And I'll put some money aside for the wideband too, was thinking of the Innovate MTX-L.

I have an LC-1 sitting in my shed that has been used for literally 500km tops. If you make a sensible offer it's yours!

My rear garnish panel was cracked all over and need to be replaced, so I found a second hand one for real cheap. Decided that I wanted it black so had my friend give it a fresh coat of paint, it came out looking brand new =)

Rear lights removed to give access to the rear garnish panel.

New rear garnish installed =)

Not yet, going to wait for the wideband first. Ordered my Innovate MTX-L wideband O2 last night, they sent it by FedEX so hopefully gets here next week sometime.

Clutch Slave Replacement - http://omgpham.com/clutch-slave-replacement

Small update tonight... my clutch slave was leaking bad, fluid going everywhere!

To make life easier, I removed the driver side wheel to reach the clutch slave.
From there it's just the matter of removing the two 12mm bolts and the clutch line.

The old rusty leaking clutch slave....

My brand new clutch slave =)

In other news, my Innovate MTX-L wideband arrived and I found myself an automatic model throttle body for it's variable TPS.

Also some various bits and pieces arrived today...

Hard top brackets and leather door pulls.

Epic door pulls.

Slow updates lately, have had too much stuff on plus I'm moving houses in a week. But I was able to get the ECU flashed and basemap loaded.

I also had stickers made for my blog, if anyone wants any (free of charge), just like my Facebook page

and I'll get them sent out for you.

you know you have to swap the WHOLE throttle body not just the TPS.

Yep, pulled the whole TB off myself at the wreckers. Just need to go back and get the pigtail because completely forgot about that.

Did research on the various option, for the price I picked up the automatic TPS/TB for it was definitely the best option. I sourced a few BMW TPS as well but they worked out to be more expensive.
