My car is nearly alive again....
Well about 10weeks ago I took my car into the workshop to do a couple of simple jobs, since then I've been working on it almost everynight and now its has a complete new fuel system and nitrous system and intercooler/chrage cooler along with many other little bits along the way. 
hopefully we shall be seeing some BIG improvement on performance now, the Turbo is the ONLY limit to the car now but hopefully not for too long.

AWESOME!
Loving the intercooler/chargecooler setup
It even shares a part with my car! (The SX regulator)
Looks like youve thrown a used Will Chamberlain XL over the turbo inlet tho
Myohmy your a big boy Dont let Keith see

Jus lookin at the intercooler...
Jus wondering if the bits either side of the bottom 4wd (i guess) cooler should be a lil wider to increase flow to it?
Whats going above the cooler? (looking at the pipes i guess it ends lower than a 500 cooler)

the top part is water cooled and it only needs enought airflow to fill the bottom row and the area before it IS more than the area of the row opening also as the inlet flow round and in from the Top I didn't need to use the rounded end tank design I've used on Martins and the Zoo ones. Hope it works anyway, if not I'll do another one

it was begging to be polished, Think I might forget racing it and go to shows
I put you a nitrous tune up in the post, guaranteed to smoke your tyres

She looks sweet Dan.
Hope you can get her well into the 11's sometime.
Its good to see someone trying slightly different approaches to the std setups.
