lol cheers rab, i need to swap a couple of those connectors as i bought too many big ones, and need another 2 os the smaller 90 degree bends, then with them all in place i can measure up how much hose i need. will try to do this tomoz if i finish work early enough.

the front end doesnt look toooooo bad in person, but it needs a 500 splitter, thats for sure!

it is a nice shirt isnt it!

right, went back to pirtek yesterday and got the last few fittings, and went in today to buy some ptfe lined hose... 10 metres of the stuff... only to be told they didnt have enough in stok and will order it for tuesday

FFS lol

looking at a good Ł150 for the hose and ferrels i guess, but at least they crimp em for free

so hopefully by next weekend all the plumbing in will be done

well mostly, i need to sort out the fuel pump/filter fittings...

just finished doing the fuel, water and oil hoses!!

i just need to take them all off again and take them to have the ferrels crimped on

overall shot



bolted the FPR to the inner wing



oil breather and water hose, i decided that as the car will hardly be used, i have binned off the heater/fan blowers. doing this has made it much easier to plumb in, and also gives me space to mount the coilpack



in the boot - obviously i need to tidy up the hose runs, but this will be done once its all crimped



fuel tank fittings



tank vent going up to roof



i also need to get the fittings for the fuel pump and filter, i bought the pump to tank adaptor from pj motorsport last sat, but its still not been delivered yet...
also need to get a length of larger diameter hose from tank to pump. and then get a fitting from filter tot he hose you see there... oh, and the bajos to join the filter and pump lol



and finally, i made a start on the carbon dial surround for the stack ST700SR (right) and boost gauge (left) with an ACT guage in the upper middle and the idiot lights in the lower middle.

the 80mm hole has since been cut out, but no pics lol

Is it wise venting it off into the car lol!

also, 3rd picture down? The black water hose, why does it have a union on it going to the breather?


Looks good though, Where did you get the black hose from?

thats where most people vent them to, just up high in the car.


the black hose going from the rad to the header tank you mean? its supposed to lol. the breather is the tank next to the header with the orange caps on

all hose and fittings are from pirtek

cheers everyone

got most of the fuel hoses crimped up ready to fit today, all except the long ones through the car as i still need to sort out the pump/filter fittings. looks much better now.

didnt get the black rubber hoses done either as i had to order some fireproof sleeve, and they have to fit that before the ferrels are crimped on.

frayz, bloody hell man, it has been a long time!!! probably a good 3 years i reckon! hope your doing well, and its good to hear from you!!
