UPDATE

After being off the car for months Iv finally made excellent progress and learned so much

Oil pressure SORTED needed GENUINE mfts not after market

Iv now put all my oem carbon trim inside the car

Wired up my air fuel ratio gauge into centre consol

Put a front cabriolet anti roll bar (25mm) on the back of the car which has made my coupe into a completly new car!

Had my turbo to intercooler pipe remade out of aluminium as the rubber one split where the little pipe joins on

Managed to get some door card rubbers off another car (winner)

Got hold of another window relay as mine had dry joints and still didn't work properly after I tried reheating the solder

Got some more bottom door seals for outside the car put them on

Next for the agenda I'm having all my exhaust redone as whoever "made" the powerflow on the car before I bought it did about as good a job as a 2 year old ... inside was so bad ... not lined up ... bits of weld stuck on the inside aswell as welding wire ... pipe inside pipe and welded around etc you name it the exhaust had it so that's booked in after i spent some time with some mates chopping up the old exhaust and tacking it up ready for the pros to go to town with it

Pics to follow later on once I'm reunited with it in a couple weeks while I'm away

Good work mate, we do need pics though

[betterwith4]

Dont worry pics will definatly be following I just haven't had the chance to do so yet as I'm away for a bit BUT soon as I'm back and reunited with my car with my new rebuilt exhaust I'll take lots of pics and throw them up and explain what's going on in them

Finally making progress again

betterwith4 what was the root cause of the oil pressure issues? Nice work progressing on the build. Just had a chuckle when I read the previous posts on the carbon trim too

Basically the mfts I bought was not .... NOT genuine so even though it was working to an extent (boost was back to working properly And wasn't sputtering and smoking etc).. it was giving false readings ... soon as I bought a genuine one second hand but was tested and working correct I bobbed it in and boom everything working perfect readings great oil pressure perfect ... but the oil pump being rebuilt was a good thing to do anyways
