Few more bits done ..all fuel lines made and fitted and its now ready to go have management and a Mac boost controller and map done .
once it's all up and running it will be stripped to have tanks and rocker cover and some other bits powder coated and also the servo removed and a new bias fitted . Also that horrible looking cross over pipe will be changed and clips and stuff to tidy the hoses and new loom .

It is often hard to see angles in pics but if that master cylinder is right above the turbo I think some heat shielding would be a wise investment as brake fluid is very flammable and does not work well when very hot.

Everything is ready... i spent a few hours doing spanner checks today and even found a earth lead that I'd missed so fitted that ..She's now tucked up waiting for Steve Simpson at Simtek to arrive and make a list of things he needs to make loom etc ..so here's a few pics .

The car was jacked up at the front which suppressed the rear passenger wheel ..it ain't that low once back on all 4'S ..I will still be keeping and eye on it .. but bearing in mind I've just took the same size wheels off it last year before I took it off the road and they was fine .

I'd love it lower mate but it drove nice right where it is so I've not played with anything yet ..ARBs are just the one at the moment but if anyone else wants one I can ask for more .

Steve Simpson of simtek turned up yesterday at my house to take a look ..he measured up for the rachem loom and spotted two jobs I needed to do ..temp sensor and Tmap sensor so they will be done this week then ring him back to book it in ...all in all I'm very happy he went through the build and couldn't fault any of it ..he was happy to map once the 2 jobs are done ...so happy days .

Could you tell me what paint was used on the header tank please?
I have a part I want to have blasted and painted the same colour/texture.
Cheers

That colour scheme looks much better! Can't say I'm a fan of the fusebox cover, I'd go for the standard perspex item rather than a bed sheet, but thats just me being picky

Looking great, noticed the airtec header tank has 3 holes for the fittings, is it a case of drilling a new bottom hole?as from memory the standard tank had just 2 holes for the screws.
