Hit the tunnel running

It's amazing how quickly the dark nights have closed in on us. It's dark by 4pm and the temperature has dropped to 7 or below. But I haven't let that effect me too much. Yesterday I made a brilliant purchase from "Blocket" the swedish equivelant of ebay; Found four original BMW 16" wheels fitted with dubbed winter tyres which are in very good condition. All for about £150. 

I think I've mentioned it before but it's actually a legal requirement to have them on from the 1st of December until March 31st. See the official rules if you are interested (http://www.transportstyrelsen.se/en/road/Vehicles/winter-tyres/). 

There are so many fantastic sunny days over winter, a  little cold perhaps but with the right clothes it's breathtaking to get out in the fresh air! The winter tyres will hopefully prolong the season by quite a few weeks!

Actually easier to clean and better looking (?) than my original wheels

A nice thick tread plus dubs that are in pretty good condition. With the amount of distance I'll be travelling on them they'll last years!

I received the fuel pressure gauge a few weeks ago and it shows a pressure of 48 psi which is just about spot on. This week I got the AFR lambda bung welded into the exhaust pipe and received the AFR kit from prosportgauges today. Will get that installed by the weekend ready for adjustment. I also bought a new lambda sensor, not sure if it's necessary but I'd rather not have any question marks at this stage, all other sensors have been changed out!

It doesn't look like it but the bung is at about 10o off the horizontal as recommended.

See you after the weekend, have a good one ...
