Looking at the pic's you can't fault the job, the allignment is spot on!!, I think we had a good team and this won't be the last time we get together and do it again.
Fatman - I take it as a compliment with a car like yours, you wanting something off mine
Dan - you will now have a constant reminder how your car looks when it's clean, your have to change the log book back to Blue now
Listening to Dan's 5Zigen was hard as it reminds me of mine which I have'nt heard for near two months

looks fantastic but way out of my budget.
Can you let me know how much the air filter surround cost, I 've seen pictures of the inlet through the morretts, looks **** hot.

Call them m8 they are all custom made. Mines different because MAF sensor was so long the other one they do feeds the air filter straight through the side of the box.

Firstly Danny Boy's Turbo
Yes it's in need of a clean but that's for another day
After stripping the front down we had to get the Gazebo up quickly as the rain came down
Then the front was stripped down ready for work to start
As Daz took a break
the FMIC was offered up so we could see exactly what was needed to be modified in order to fit the pipework
Hmmm there is a bracket in the way
That's better
Some of the pipework was just offered up to give us a better idea of the space we had to work within..... not a lot I'll add
We were all impressed with the quality of the mount as you can see it's a snug fit
To Be Continued............

Just got to get this Lotus thing out of my system and i may be tempted.
I've just got back from a Lotus meet and have viewed much eye candy Much of my enjoyment of the Scoob is in it's ability to overtake at will - i'm not sure an Elise can quench this thirst so a front mount might be the thing for me - says the man who has just fitted an STi 6 top mount

Fatman - It's tempting, but I don't think I could betray the old girl.
Dan - it's from Revolution mate, I think they have it described as a P1 splitter
Brun - I got no probs doing another, I enjoyed it.

What's the car driving like now Dan... everything ok there ?
When does the Turbo and remap fall in place and have you sorted out the fitting instructions for the oil catch tank ?

Don't get me started on the oil catch tank, I've looked at hundreds of threads and still can't find a decent fitting guide!!!!!!!
The turbo and remap are all down to Simb's time frame, As I'm having his old turbo, He needs to run his car in first and then he's changing the turbo, injectors etc. Should be sorted in a couple of months

Dan, spoke to David at Api today and should all be ready Friday or Saturday next week. So it's just clocking up the miles and then stage 2 can be completed, so should'nt be long before you get your hands on my VF28.
What size injectors are in yours as there will be 440's comming out of mine?
Ah milestone 3000th post

No worries Si, I don't mind waiting. I'm due a tax rebate in the next 2-4 weeks, thats if the B4stards ever get it sorted out, If you owe them money, they are on you like a pack of dogs. But when they owe you £1700 they move very very very slowly!!!!! should pay for a holiday and some toys for the car!!!!!!!
I'm 99% sure mine has already got 440's but I'l have to ask someone on here to confirm.
With regards to collecting your car next friday or saturady, We're off to santa pod on the saturday!!!!!!!!! We could always pick it up on the way up???

That is the plan for me mate, will know for definate the mid of next week. I already spoke to Si about it and if anybody wants to come up with me then thats fine. I will be leaving early though so it might not be everybody's cup of tea.

DannyBoy - unless you have given your car a serious facelift you have a MY99/00 in which case it does indeed have 440's
Is the FMIC you have fitted one of them off ebay? If so - does it have the polished mild steel pipes Harvey has mentioned in another thread which will eventually rust?
