Well today started well..

I started fitting the manifold as this was suppose to be hardest part to fit and it was fiddly to say the least, after undoing 2 engine mounts the old one came out without much hassle, new one fitted along with the sports cat.

Now the mountune is where my problems started.. turns out the mountune system is 450mm short when matching it to the milltek sports cat and manifold so I need a custom length of pipe to join them together with a 15° bend!

So left that until I can get the adaptor peice and decided to fit the 60mm throttle body

Much bigger but will need to wait to see if it sorts my idling issue.

Here is hoping I can get the exhaust fitted before next weekend!

    I managed to peice something together to fit my exhaust so I could take it to have a peice properly fabricated to fit.. so it's booked in tomorrow at 1.30 to have that sorted just before getting it mapped on Saturday.

    One part that has annoyed me since fitting my xtrons unit was the now redundant aux port.

    So I managed to find a usb extension that fits exactly the same hole

    My plan is to put all my music folders on a usb drive that fits it.

    64gb should be big enough just now :)

    USB port looks nice...any links? :) ... did you test if the stereo can work with USB drive that big? ...since it's Android, it should, but I know for sure that for example older Windows CE units work only with 32GB drives...

    I double checked the manual and said mine takes upto 64gb sd card and/or usb drive, I have put one album on it and all works great,

    I got the usb part from eBay.

    It fits perfectly in the hole left by the aux port with no modification at all :D
