RetroPug's Ph.1 Diablo Gti-6

[RetroPug]

Thanks.

I bought a Scorpion backbox from a nice man called Tony on saturday morning as my standard one is getting a bit rusty so I've quarantined that somewhere dry for now until I decide what to do with it:



Did a bit of polishing to it, and fitting it gave me the chance to take the heatshield off and swap it for the one I tidied up a fair while ago:



This has made a nice difference, but there's still lots under there that I would like to tidy up someday. It is currently being driven daily though.








It doesn't sit at quite the right angle because the exhaust hangars I had to hand were a bit awkward, this will be rectified though:



Another thing that is annoying me is that the GTi badge is pretty faded, so I hope to sort that soon too. I also made a hesitation from cold a bit better by changing the TPS for a spare.
I also tried to change the CTS for a nearly new one I had from Germany which snapped in half when it was only being finger-tightened! Either it was crap or I'm the Hulk! Luckily it was still sealing. I managed to superglue the sensor together and then gently wind it back out and put the old one back in for now, narrowly avoiding not having a car to go to work! It hesitates a lot less but now only just slightly when cold so I think I'll pick up a new CTS as well.
