Update time!

Little bit of an update, I've promised a lotta people that it will see the road by summer so I need to pull my finger out a bit!

Originally I was just going to get some tophats machined up and use the standard rubber top mounts to sit them in and then do the camber mod, but I figured I'd just do it proper and as ClassicSwede now stock adjustable camber plates, I snapped a set up.

Might pull them apart and anodize them, unsure yet.

Stripped/blasted/painted the lower arms, which considering we only have a real fine glass bead in the cabinet worked very well indeed! Standard issue poly bushes of course.

Eventually got sick of seeing the turbo laying around, so got my arse into gear and figured out where I wanted it mounting, the first Holset I got turned to be a dud one too, learned my lesson buying second hand turbos, don't! Sourced a brand new HY35W for a very good price, got the fancy anti surge compressor housing too.
So with a bit of jigging/hanging, got my collector tacked into place.

And all tacked up now, will start welding it this week once I get my two-way regulator back from work to purge it.

Once it's welded I've got drill into the side of the collector to then weld in a piece for the external wastegate.
