Good to hear you MS system is up and working well. I'm using tuner studio although up to now only bench tested.
I just need a descent lamda sensor before I fit it all in. With my throttle bodies I have built, I should be getting an easy 180bhp at the wheels on a standard blacktop Zetec.
I would like another V8. Saw a nice truck today and the sound was awesome on open stainless system.

Have just been talking about Tunerstudio on LR4x4, think I'm going to give it a look at, costs about £31 i think.
Seeing as we like a good amount of off topic, lets get some of your kit car pics up!!

I have the free tunerstudio at it seems fine, just no fancy dashboards. Here's a couple of pics of the yet unnamed kitcar.
Drove it out the garage
An hour later it was like this.
Then the Zetec needed an amended sump so I did that.
All painted up
Sump fitted.
Then a trial fit once the chassis cross tube was cut out to enable it to fit.
A lot of work later and we are here. Amendments to the front end to create an actual scuttle panel too.
Welded in new steering column. This adjusts up and down and in and out
Made up throttle bodies too
Made up pedals and reversed master cylinder
There are loads of photos which I will be placing on my website as the Zetec conversion needs to be documented properly IMO.
Just need to trim the dash and make up the exhuast and then it can be run.

Ah ha! The man he tempts fate!
Well, apart from a teeny purchase of a couple of 7" led light bars for use as work lights which were kindly located at a most reasonable price direct from china through a group buy on LR4x4, I am most inclined to say there is actually NOTHING more that my disco needs!
Somewhat relieved yet somewhat disappointed to say that, bit of an anticlimac to come to the end of a 3 year rolling project.
Just need to decide whether I should waste any more cash on the car or not basically.
Hydro-steer would, however, be nice.

Come discos are never that finished.
Send some pics over of it in the latest guise when lights are fitted. Also what do you think of your light bar?

Yeah will get some decent pics up when it's "pretend finished"
The roof light bar is great, I hate the four lamp ones and although I wanted one I couldn't stand the aestethics but I was just browsing mm4x4 and saw this in the new products section and it was an immediate purchase.
It is no good for high speed driving cos it illuminates the bonnet so you lose your contrast, but for lanes it is wonderful, get 180 degree illumination

Have you thought of putting a sun visor kind of thing under them just to eliminate bonnet glare ?
Like series landrovers sometimes have

Hello mate
Yes I did think about that, but never got round to trying it.
It could be set just right probably!
One day...

iv thought about this, but then thought that if i put a lip on it then it would catch rain water surely.
