I can see well enough, Ryan.

Trouble with photo's, as you'll appreciate, they can at times be misleading.

My car, in some photo's, looks like it's all the same colour. When in actuality it's probably a different shade of 406 silver on every panel.

As said i think the comments that may come across as negative are just pointing out how to do the job propperly.

And as for doing things on a budget thats just what i do and its the attention to detail that count not just bolting on expensive parts.

keep at it you will get there in the end






Fair play dude, that's a nice bit of work!

I actually had a good look at this set up at the NBO which is neat on a budget but eventually went the same as Ryan with the carl Davey set up but I'm now having to sort out my pipework for the lateral intercooler/rad set up thats going in the car things might be a bit tight with the belt and the underside of the pipework once its sorted we will see.

STI9- you haven't got a pic of the way you have your towing thing attached at the front have you?

I used one of Matty's reverse manifold brackets- work well, but seeing that engine bay, not posting a pic of mine!
