why the big writing? is it so it makes your spec looks longer?!

 

copy and pasted mate

 

nice one mate!


take it she wont be ready for combe?

 

i dont think so, still got bits to do, and run in before its mapped,

im not booking its map untill it starts and is ok...

 

anyone got 2 manifold to trouser bolts? i need some!

 

That looks fantastic, and what a spec bet you can't wait till its all finished.

 

no,i cant wait now.....really missed driving her

 

ive always liked the look of your car mate,the front bumper espcially

 

both bumpers have damage at the mo, i hit a rabbit at 90, and the bottom bar of the bumper hit the intercooler( 5 inches away!)

so, over winter i will blow em over again....

 

looking good mate, some excellent progress, Look forward to seeing the car back on the road again.

 

Dude it looks lovely .. Not long now pal

Mine realy needs some coilovers as it is way too low .. and its only a -25 mm drop

 

cheers guys..

i think the engine bay looks really busy in the pics, but it doesnt in the flesh....weird

 

really looks mint! cant wait to see some finshed pics!

 

Spot on mate, be really nice to see the car in the flesh again mate.

 

Great Spec that James, will be a blast to drive,,,,

 

Looks great!

 

i expect it will be a pig off boost,

just cranking it over, i can tell its got proper lumpy cams

 

whats the bonnet pins on the bumper for?

looks and sounds good though.

 

Looks good mate, dont forget to jubilee the turbo hose!

 

the bumpers are just shells, thats what holds them on,
i take them off to jack it up etc

 

to take the bumper off i guess?

too late.

 

new hoses coming...that ones a tad small for my liking

 

Like that's gonna happen alot.........

 

yeah,true...

i need to get a 40psi boost gauge!
