fliped my front mount
one of my uprgades before the next remap hopefully by jgm with some meth this time.
had to put in a new rad so decided to flip my intercooler at the same time
trial fitting to work out the pipework after i had fixed it into position
bumper fits ok
pipe work sorted drivers side (turbo out)
pipe work sorted pasanger side (intel in)
fitted my new induction cone this one is about 3 times the size of my old one
next on the list is to change my inlet manifold, i've ported it a bit and have just finished flocking it. i'll be fitting early next week once i have my inlet manifold spacers
i'm by no means a mechanical expert but was actuall quite surprised how easy it was to do once you started chopping the pipes

yes i have one lol would'nt even try it without the spacers
it's a test to see what happens, the flock never actually burns it just melts kind of like nylon, i actually like the melted down look hence toying with the idea of burning it back

now that would burn, throttle body won't be getting done
at least i can safely say it's a first and as a major trend setter it will be one of a kind
with regards to flocking odd things i've just flocked a motorbike petrol tank for one of the lads at pennine subaru
now that will look different

it's acid etch primet and then cheapo no brand sating black, it's not too bad as far as chipping goes but is dead easy to touch up anyway.
must admit when i fliped it i turned it as well to the untouched side.
always do everything the same even my wheels as you can touch them up anytime.
