Looks wicked! Where was the strut brace from? Been thinking of getting one and that looks pretty sturdy.

rear spoiler makes more a difference than you would think

Under the bonnet looks good, specially the plenum!

Love the base model headlight look but the pics are took dark to see properly

toff ive left ma phone in the car..ha ha il bell you the morn

not sure who makes strut brace i bought it years ago for my saph off ebay,i believe the ggr is the best option to go for though

euan i got a new camera and just worked out how to work the flash ha ha ha

pics dont do it justice,plenum is nice just a shame the fuel rail doesnt fit,im sure tom will be able to have a look at this though,could do with getting a boss welded into sump too for breather oil return

ive decided to get coilpack too,i cant decide if i prefer it with or without rs500 lower rear spolier,its a big diffrence on the moonstone car

the interior always looks brown and minging in the photos,it doesnt look like that to the eye weird

Col,
Glad you like the plenum. Why doesn't the fuel rail fit? It should take any 2wd rail?

I've had some back to back tests on an engine dyno run on the plenum and will PM you across the results

Doug.

Ah.. just had a better look at photos and seen the non standard fuel rail.

If you you send it back with the fuel rail i'd be happy to cut the mounts of and re position them for you?

cheers doug but its not coming back off car hopefully get it done at ava

i can see the mark where youve measured it but think its been welded at this mark but on the far away edge rather than the front 1,if i put injectors in it wont go in ,ie the mounting points need to be 10mm towards the header tank

thats why i offered to post rail with the trumpet bit,but you said it be ok aslong as it was for a 2wd,its no big problem im sure tom will be able to alter it

graph looks good results mate

Must be your thicker fuel rail. As said in PM mounts are welded in position with them bolted up to a stock fuel rail and injectors as a jig. Fuel rail isn't taken off until they are welded so they are always right. Hopefully Tom can fix it on the car for you.

Results of tests were better than i thought they would be and proved that you don't have to be running 500bhp+ to see good gains over stock.
