Very nice!!

No idea, maybe ask the previous owner?

Failing that take it to a mapper?

As for the third nipple, take the console apart and see where the wires lead to?

Bit of work to do underneath that one

I guess the owner before domo that it was a good idea!

Nice one for saving it though.

Thanks, it has a full decat so I was thinking it should be mapped, even though it does run good.

I'm not sure how long I'm going to keep it as the misses has declared it too lairy and loud

I think I'll end up in a legacy of some kind as always fancied one and at least its another scooby!

Car split a radiator hose n' shat a load of red fluid everywhere.

Fixed this and seems to be running well. Plan is to get a better fuel pump and Ecutek. Might use Duncan @ Race Dynamix as he's local, if anyone's heard of him?

Cleaned it up and took some snaps.
