    i bought it from down new forest way

    after dicking about trying to fit a profec b spec2 today as it had a bleed valve on it and was running 1bar+ seeing as the standard boost gauge only shows 1bar i thought id lower the boost till i have a better gauge and it was spiking anyway

    i found the following things to fix today
    front pads, disks and o/s/f tie rod end are fubar

    so looks like im going to have to fit my front big break conversion and maybe tein rods and ends to get it driveable ill get the profec b wired intomorrow too
