Thanks folks

Today I got the pump to rack line made up along with pump to resivour line,I had to remove the headers/uppipe and turbo to gain access but well worth it with how much better the braided lines with goodridge fire sleeve looks!
I then refitted headers and uppipe and lifted the subframe back into place.
Next on the list was to fit the new summit racing subframe braces which not only stiffen up the subframe back and front but look the b0llocks as well.
The O/S perrin alk bush is sleeve is playing up with not wanting to go fully on but other than that it went to plan,just the turbo to bolt back in place.
Before the headers went back on I fitted the EGT sensor into the unused lambda prode hole on the collectors.

Nice work Ryan, those power steering lines look the mutts nuts.

I'm glad your carrying on, now hurry up because you've got to be on the SWS stand at Rally Day in September even if I've got to trailer it down there.

She's Welsh so Ryan does as he's told, he knows his place.

And Ryan is the hormonal one that's true.

You certainly do that, the poor girl having to put up with your hormones.

They certainly are the business, I've never had one even slacken off they are the dogs danglies of intercooler hose clamps.

It's worth paying the (some would say excessive) cost of them just for the assurance of the quality and their pedigree.

Had a good crack at the car today with the help of Rossco[cheers dude],get all the PAS liner finished up,all with goodridge fire sleeve.
Got the return to sump line done from catch can,remounted turbo and got the water line to header tank done plus the water lines from the cross overs to the ISCV.
It's really getting there now and I'll be having the metal master over soon to custom make the IC pipe work along with brackets to retain the IC in place.
Also got myself some adjustable trailing arms so I now have as much adjustability as you can get lol !
Exciting times!!

Great job, seems like it's a day for it as I got some done too. I'll get my bits off to you next week, but I'm now in a dilema - I love the colour of your inlet, but I fancy crinkle black

Only had a couple of hours down the workshop working on her with Ty bringing his spec-c down for me to have a look for a transmission leak and of course so I could nail it one on a test drive seeing as I built it lol[felt great too!!].
With Tim nearly ready to come down and do the 'bling' wiring job lol I need to get everything in place so Tim knows what he has to run the wiring around plus everything that requires wiring also needs to be in place which is why today I got the boost solenoid,map sensor and oil pressure switches mounted.
As with me nothing is standard and requires customizing and relocating so off come the O/S/F wing and I set about cutting part of the box section open so I could mount the sensors,now they are mounted I know what angle unions I need so just pipe work to run and a bit of painting.
Also got the header tank to radiator pipe done.
