Ok so where to begin. Basically the car now looks like the pics above ha
So I swapped the new(er) ECU in and fucked off the HKS plugs for Denso's, what was originally taken out for the HKS' yokes. And she ran sweet. So I rebuilt the drivers side interior, boot, cleaned up the rest bar the glove box just incase, put the bumper back on, and taxed it! Took it for a quick 200 mile roundtrip and all seemed ok, so I fitted my Christmas presents! The Gram Lights and the Federals for the fronts

So my dad made me some cool ramps, I got him to do 4 but i really only need two, at its lowest I could still drive up onto them and clear enough to jack from the chassis rail/suspension/diff, so no more sill jacking :D

The rears are 265's on a 9.5J and I thought they would look stupid but I'm quite liking the stance like that, and its very daily driveable too.

So after I took that picture, I took it out and got it washed and waxed it and it looked great but before I got a chance to take any pictures it was Monday and back to work and given a current family situation, my daily trips from Monaghan to Dublin and back. So by Tuesday it was manky.
I then decided to drop it on its arse for the craic! I did the rears first and the front the day after
Issue number 1: (I can get it up the drive at an angle! :D )

I think 225's and maybe a small spacer might look better

And then with the fronts done:

So now its broke down again :( The fuel pump appears to be running off the side & fog lights :confused: Fogs on make it run on start up pressure, thus flooding it and sides make it work on normal, which essentially is fine only it does neither now, and broke on me in Ardee! Got it towed home today and to tow it i took off the bumper and raised it right up to be safe. Gonna hand it over to an auto electrician to fully sort out once and for all!!
Thanks for reading! :)

So another small update:
Ok, well if you read my last post you'll know that the car is currently out of order with a frankly weird electrical problem. So I did the most rational, intelligent thing the other day....
.....yes you guessed it, I bought a 6pt harness!! :D From Dean Kearney's car, I love the colour so I couldnt resist.

-
hahaha ive ben tempted to watch corporation strret with that on, restrain myself from slitting my wrists!
So thanks to Yowdy and another nice chap (didnt get his name sorry :o) part 1 or operation fix the fucker was completed and now the car is with a recommended auto electrician at last after 4 weeks sitting around. All going well i might hear some news after the weekend.
I got a spare set of coils as it is tending to misfire a bit but i think its the shitty connections rather than the coils. So im considering a wasted spark kit to bypass all that craic. Worth the hassle anyone?
