Have'nt updated in a while.
Anyway, cars bodywork is sorted and im hoping to get it mot'd next week. Dealt with the dreaded floorpans, drivers side was shocking, passenger side is solid though so fingers crossed. I'd put some pics up but cameras bust at the moment. This post has been edited by UK145QV: 27th August 2011 20:32 |

Personally i would leave the front bumber off........ that way everyone will know you have 'BA Barackass' on steroids (more than he took while in the A team i mean) under the hood..... looks awsome!!! I would have a flashing neon sign saying 'look at my massive engine and turbo'.... BOOM!

All the pipe work was bought from here: http://www.apmotorstore.co.uk/ The induction pipe is a 63mm bore, 45 degree alloy pipe with a 63mm silicone joiner to the turbo. The filter is a universal single cone conical from Green Filters with a bore of 65mm, but it clamps down tidy onto the 63mm pipe. Bought the filter from Demon Tweeks. I needed to make a small hole in the Silicone joiner near the turbo inlet for the vacuum pipe going to the EBC valve. |

Yeah it is a bit high, seemed very low to me at first, ive been driving my old Landy for a while lol.
Need to get some money first as the rear wheels will definately touch the arches if lowered, so new rubber and a set of half tidy coilovers is on the list. |

Looks fekin ace.... i love it! I would love to start a project like yours! I have a 1.8 stripped out waiting for a big lump! Cant decide to go V6 or 20vt? I have more experience with the V6 than the rewire for the 20vt! My wife has just said V6 is less letters to write..... so it could be that
