Well took the st for a drive today and it was asfull overfueling more than the afr meter could even read. I fiddled with it for hours and finally at 6.15 PM got it through an mot. The car is still not running well so im going to change the ECU loom to see if it solved the problem as I really cant think what else it could be. (Tried 3 ecus 3 airflow meters and everything else under the sun. SOO ANNOYED. Still it has an MOT now all I need is road tax.

As everyone who went to donny will know now I did make it to donny and the ST is running fine now. I just need to finish the paintwork and I can now relax. I shall add photos of it soon. The main part of this project has now pretty much finished!

any updates since Donny Ed? I know you said you only have paintwork to finish but I don't believe for a second you left it at that! Plus for the 0-60 to be 6.7 you must have done some more stuff!

Been too busy to think really. I still need to finish a few things. Im going to get a new exhaust for it. Im after a 2.5 inch straight through. The car has been running fine, and boost has slightly been increased. I took it to my usual place to have a go at some 0-60s. Now i am used to it and I know it wont break I got several of 7.0x sec and couple high 6's my best being 6.7. I know its capable of less than that too as there was loads of wheel spin.

Using a G tech always at the same location under the same conditions. i.e. dry level straight etc. First attempts when the ST was totally standard gave results of around high 7 low 8's. I have tested loads of cars on it now, its pretty accurate by all accounts.

Ok so started with the replacement back bumper today. I didn't realise it was as tatty as it actually is, and has been bodged in the past so I had to then remove the old filler and start again. Its not particularly nice having to fill bumpers as to get a hidden crossover is almost impossible.
Anyway, as it stands at the moment, the bumper now has its first layer of primer on to allow me to see what needs doing better (anything you see in the primer will be twice as bad once the final layer is on.)
So here is a few pics of this evenings work (not including the primered one as thats drying):
