Right then, ya rusty little twirp, shall we try this again?
Hopefully this time it decides not to chew on its own impeller blades.
Still, at least turbos are cheap...

It make no boost, it just scream. Still, got to remind everyone at work that I'm the coolest*, so looks like its a bike day...
*Yup, Warhammer bag and an old man bike will sure do that!

Its basically held together with blu-tack, double sided sticky tape, scrap metal and hope, the tune is garbage and it leaks when it rains. But it makes The Noise. And every journey feels you're firing up Max's black on black, Solo's YT 1300 or V's Gecko.

Cortisol reduction therapy. After accidentally spending the day rewiring my passenger footwell, its nice to remember just how calming it is to sit here and chill out with the stereo on. I'm honestly surprised how well sound deadened this car is, given how much of it I've torn out.

Everyone's a critic... even my stereo appears to be offering its opinion now!
I know the pieces fit, I just need to use a bigger hammer.
Still, glad to finally get the CD player working, door car back in and sub wired. CLEARLY my priorities are in order...

Its much easier to get out of bed when you're taking the sketchy homemade turbo project car to work. Either you have the coolest car in the car park, or it breaks down and you don't get to work. Win win.

Some folk might say its too late to be working on the car, but I do some of my best work in the dark.
VR6 radiator and twin slimline fans now in place, and a cockpit glowing with promise...

Welcome to the cyberpunk present. No run to the shop for bread is complete without jacking in to hack your car's mainframe... or, you know, plugging your laptop in and smacking page up until it stops bogging... Fun and games with learning to map my own car.

I know you're supposed to start with a fairly conservative tune, but my engine kept making a lot of noise about small boats, questioning what bathroom people can use and using slurs, while offering utterly crap performance.
Time for a dose of #PageUp

Approximately 39,000 years later, Dave was still struggling to get his Scirocco to run right, even after the upgrades.

Someone is about to find out that the thing that goes bump in the night is an AC 20.
