Depends on a couple if things, depends on your airbag connectors as people have had different connectors, also if you want then functional your gonna have to modify your steering control units on the wheel as these have different clip positions on the back.

[FONT=&quot]Hi Leigh, couple of questions:-[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The picture of the back-box you have uploaded, is that what you had installed or what came off your car? Also I see you upgraded your sensors, is this a simple swap or do you need to make other modifications in conjunction to get the sensors to work and ensure the car doest through the CEL? [/FONT]

Yeah the sensors didn't really do anything, I wouldnt worry about them, not a worthwhile purchase to be honest, the standard sensors are pretty much the same. The twin outlet picture with the loop in it is the standard exhaust which is the restriction on the vehicle. My new exhaust is straight through, no silly loops.

Also gadge, Im in the process of new intercooler and Sports Cat to match the new turbo, when I have all 3 parts they will go onto together, and it will literally be make or break (the clutch) time lol!

Are you taking bets

 

[LeighJet150]

Seems like it would be worth having a Fiat Forum sweepstake to see how long it lasts! Would be a giggle for everyone......apart from me as I have to collect the pieces of my car from the floor lol!

 

[ysidfa]

Hurry up and get this thread updated!!

 

[LeighJet150]

I'd love to update it with fun things, but I am still in the process of collecting parts and wondering about putting things together. At the end of the month I will be another step closer but this is quite a biggie I am trying to pull off!

 

[LeighJet150]

It seems to have been awhile and spent a long time wondering what to do, so not much of an "update."

HOWEVER I am looking to sell my car now, which I know it is sad It has got me through thick and thin. It has been a brilliant runner and not missed a beat, I have looked after the inner-workings of it to a very high standard. The whole history of the car is in this thread but if you want to know more just ask. Ill be posting an ad later on today.

So if you are interested in buying it, it will be a resonable price, I will not be asking for stupid money, although I have probably spent the standard car cost on the car itself, I would like to see it go to a good home. It truly is a unique car and I will miss it dearly!

Any questions just inbox me.
