Cheers :)

I've managed to pick up a second hand ECS rear brake conversion, it's only covered 1000 miles with no wear to the rotors at all. The rotors are 306x22 so hopefully big enough to look good.

I'm going to repaint the bells as they have a couple of marks on them, will put some pics up when I'm done.

Where did you bag that bargin from? Great setup. Would you be able to trace around the caliper bracket so I can take the measurements? I'll bung you a few quid for the trouble :)

On eBay. I put in a really cheeky offer that I didn't think the seller would except but he did :D

Yeah of course I will. I plan on giving them a coat of black tomorrow so will do it then.

I just prepped and painted the bells, was a shame to sand off the ecs logos as they did look smart but they had marks on them and I wanted them perfect so I re did them black.

Thanks Adam :) They don't come around on eBay too often so you got an absolute steal. At the right time too.

Cheers mate, didn't have time to get more pics today, hopefully get some at weekend.

I've noticed the new bells have spaced my wheels out another couple of MM so I've trimmed some more plastic of the arch liners.

Managed to get another inlet manifold so I'll polish that and do something with the charge pipe.

Had the FMIC sitting here for a while to, hopefully get that on soon.

Spent all day fitting big FMIC. Done pipework slightly different to everyone else, also made my own top boost hoses in 2.5" so should fit to my trackslag charge pipe nicely when I get it.

Lost the fog lights so I could run a 80mm air feed to one of the fog holes, didn't cut the front panel , instead cut a chunk out of the recinforcement then welded it back in 40mm further out so it's the same as the Forge crash bar. Used a forge MAP pipe sobthe hole setup is 2.5"

Excuse the rubbish phone pics I got, will get some more when I have the bumper off again soon.

















Quick side view with new rear brakes.

Nice fmic install there mate. I'll be doing this in April.... What fmic is that is it a welly cooler or one from beach buggy turbos or w.e it's called? Bill said something about the 2.5" coolers f them as opposed to 2.1/4" from toyo?

I can't work out wether the silicone pipe from the fmic to the 90 degree metal pipe n/s is a reducer, looks like it from the picture? Could you do a list of the silicone and metal pipe work please, I want to have it waiting for me when I'm at home! Looks really good by the way, I wanted to do a stealth cooler on mine and a big mouth grill but I don't think I will now after seeing this. Josh.

Hi mate. It's a welly cooler and yes they are reducers. I'm waiting for a different reducer for the drivers side to arrive as I think it will suit my install better, when it's here I will fit and take some better pics so you can see exactly what I have done :)

Josh/Adam, hope you dont mind me highjacking the thread but these are the items that I used and gives a very similar setup to Adam's (obviously 2.25" as apposed to 2.5"). I'm able to run 80mm twin air feeds through my fogs.

4 x 90 degree silicone hoses (64mm/2.25")
2 x 45 degree silicone hoses (64mm/2.25")
7 x 64mm/2.25" s/s couplers which have a beaded edge
Hose Clamps- I used 60-80 mm forged steel clamps
1 x Forge MAP Sensor pipe (optional)

Hope this helps? If not, sorry :)
