#84779 The wastegate is leaking air from the top section to the lower section, so it needs replacing.
Running strong btw, going real good :woot:

I have yet to shoot a decent vid, but I'll do that when my new wastegate is installed (hopefully this week).

#85129 I've installed a new front lip, and made the central air scoop in the bumper about 35mm bigger (upwards), this way the i/c is exposed 100% to ambient air while driving.
At least, when the license plate would be removed, I'm thinking about getting a US-sized license plate and relocate it out of the i/c's way.

And in october a rattle-brained jackass cut me off, so much that I had to plow my car into his side, and a little while ago I bought another coupé to fix/paint... so I don't feel like spending money on this car now, but since I still have some love for this shell, I gave it an elastoplast :P
