Holiday is pretty much paid for. Money for the house deposit is locked away.
I have a few more quid to play with in my savings account. Would only blow it on takeaways, beer and rubbish anyway.
Also got quite a few things from my ST that needs shifting and a few gadgets i have never bothered to use and a nitro RC buggy i broke on the first time of using it (a real waste of £200 haha). These alone should sort the mapping out.

...and then it rained.

It's sharpened enough to give it grain, it didn't come out of the camera like that 
Taken before the rear quarter was cosmetically 'enhanced' with a key. Coming up to a year now, it's been great so far, only costing me £1.50 for a boot release switch but I am bored stiff of it.

Good point, I didn't notice that! On a second look you can start seeing the jagged edges on the buildings!
Call myself a photographer
I know how pedantic you lot can be so i produced a no effects version just for OCUK. There is a smart sharpen or 35 radius 0.5 done after the resize which i always do on shrinking images. (as i use normal bicubic rather than sharper/smoother) The excess noise is caused by me exposing for the highlights and pulling the shadow levels back up with fill light in camera raw.
Anyhow, it is a clean car considering its age and mileage. Only 2 coats of collinite IIRC, roughly 2 months back. Still didn't score what it should have on the dyno, mostly because the actuator spring tension has softened since i live mapped it so boost fell short of request. It also hadn't been given much time to adapt to the new map either and entered the knock map just after 5k. I'm waiting to get the pdf back but i know it got 256hp (forgot to look at torque), another car there with the same hardware and a very similar map managed 284hp.
I do like those wheels on that focus, not a common sight like the 5 spokes.

. Sharper/softer is definitely not the way to downsample photos, I personally use bilinear but the results are pretty much similar to bicubic.
