New injectors, adjusted timing, AFM, idle, TPS. Running very smooth and fast now, might just need some further minor tweaks.



Cant remember if I said Ive got a new ECU from JPS. Seems better than my ebay one :) Simon is a very helpful guy who seems to know his ****.
Its an NA ecu remapped with my cars specs. I had a stage 3 ebay ecu which is a generic tune. Specific is better. And it didnt cost much more than the ebay one!

JPS Stock e-Tune -# If it has wheels, we'll make it fly

Polish up those black plastic bits in the engine bay!
(and the brake booster) Its looking really, really nice.

Also, take the "commodore" badge off the rear, I know its factory, but its awful.
Put the white Calais pinstripes on and a Berlina badge. (coloured like the Calais one) Makes the rear end of these 100% better.

bumpers fixed and painted
lower door moulds
few other bits painted (new rear 1/4s, boot trim..)
calais eyelids
new grille, either exec or brock

Also thinking an intercooler would be the go. Already got one, just need piping and motivation to fit it.

Wait what?
Has that also got a LED strip in it like an Audi?

Not 100% sold on it yet, damn nice work - but will have to see it on the car first.

just got her back from getting:
- recon'd head
- ARP head studs
- cometic 1.3mm gasket
- coolant temp sensor
- adjustable panhard rod


Have to fit my Innovate Motorsports 3844 MTX-L Wideband Air Fuel Ratio Gauge ASAP + I will get new oil temp and boost gauges by VDO and fit all 3 in a new custom 3 gauge pod in the same spot (hopefully!)...
THEN GET IT TUNED
