Hi,

Because my 400hp UrS6 is undergoing an engine rebuild and I sold my Celica, I needed a cheap runaround (I'd post pictures, but the rules set are not letting me :()

I got a good offer for a FL Omega with the BMW 2.5 TD engine and autobox, I decided to go for it.
Obviously, since I paid fairly little for the car it's far from perfect, but I am taking care of it, as I do with all my cars :)

In the five days I've owned it:
* ATF change, A/T filter change + gaskets
* Engine oil change, Engine oil filter change
* Changed intercooler, old one was like swiss cheese
* Engine air filter
* Cabin air filter
* Tyres
* Getting the locks serviced and a second key made up. Driver's door lock is missing parts, so getting them from the breakers.
* Scheduled service on wednesday to fix all the issues in the suspension.

Car drives fine, a bit less power than I'm used to, and as I understand the AR25 box does not take kindly to increased torque. Need to look what type of ECU this car has (EDC15? the engine is not common rail) and perhaps slightly increase boost up top.

Coming back to electronics - I need to update the gearbox software as it tends to hunt around a bit more than I'd like sometimes...

That's it for now :)

Only at the start of what is seeming to shape up to a long journey.
