got my manifold back today was left at a garage for me so didnt get it in person. modifyed by a garage that makes stainless exhausts. gave them a pic to go off and explained what i wanted . . .
they have welded onto 1 side and then blown a small whole through the middle! check the welding!! having to cut the fucking lot off grind it up and start again doing it myself this time!! cannot believe how theyve done it!! its not particularly the absolutely shit welding ite the fact there will be NO flow at all!!

Fuck me Mark!!! That welding is fucking disgusting! I've never seen welding that bad to be honest!! 
Not only that, but you'd not get any boost control with the way they have done it anyway! 9 bar of boost anyone?

Mark, as I pulled on, every one was leaving so instead of waiting around, I went to KFC and dropped in at Lee Catermole's humble place of residence and home of Carport Developments.

charlie chalk - it was supposed to be 800 of that guy on ebay that makes different sorts.an exact copy of rolf klypens rs500 aparently (bar the material obviously) but i got it for 730 delivered cos it took so long. then he assured me it would fir with abs which it didnt so the most i managed to get back is an extra 40 of him to have it modded
daz - what sort of loom would you want? heat shrink or braid? id have to have a look at the prices of plugs etc as ive not done one in ages.with buying stuff for only 1 loom it may work out expensive and may be worth while goin streight to ryan. it will be at least 200 quid i can tell you that now bud. hows yours doin?
on a serious note what the fuck were you2 doin up at that time on a wednesday night!!!! lol

rite layed out the car loom to start cutting it up its having a fairly big hair cut and moveing some stuff around as i think some of its a bad design.mounting battery in boot. can fit up all the plugs for ecu and water injection etc. will power it all up once its done on sunday if i get it done sat. basically just need to know everythin is 99% working and ready for when it comes back so i can fly it together! got lots of new plugs so il heat shrink alot of it so its all as neat as possible and i shouldnt have to touch it again

mines getting there just need to get my finger out of my arse and get a few little things sorted then get it mapped, on the loom would probably go for the braided type but when ever you get time (no rush you have plenty on your hands) give us a rough price.
You far off being finished? not a lot left is there?, Hows gilby doing with jp's old saph?
