Well I got around to fit them over Christmas time. But ran into a problem on the front ap racing calipers when I went to bleed them. The ass of a previous owner had cross threaded one of the nipples, lucky enough my mate lent me his tasty Leon cupra r to get back to Donegal, the next day my mate stead knew a fella from his motorbike parts business that fixes bike brakes and he was able to put a helicoil in and be able to get a good seal with the new 10x1 nipple. Oh I got some nice stainless steel ones from hel brakes.
Also just received in the post a new Cv joint and bearing and some new powerflex 20mm bushings.

Just yesterday I got the chance to finish fitting the oil catch tank I ordered off eBay. I didn't need it to be baffled since I was venting it to air.
I wanted to use the threaded screw hole on the manifold to hold it but to do that I had to modify the bracket.
The finished product.
It is very easy on this to fit a catch tank I vented it into the wing to prevent smells entering the car.
Its not totally finished I'll be putting a new servo vacuum hose made out of braided hose and also braided fuel lines, since the original lines are a bit ugly and have to many bents and look cackle.
(The bolt in the t.I.p was temporary, I now have a 20mm wide bolt in it nice and shiny)

Looks like this is going to turn into a little beast, really nice car mate. What's next on the to do list?
Thanks. Well next on the list is more poly bushes front and lower strut brace. And I want to get a set of h+r shock and springs lowered 30mm or bilstein set up. Had bilstein before and I loved them. I have a load of braided hose to go on under the engine bay along with some shiny chrome bits, like a stainless steel rad reservoir, and I'm planning to get a angle grinnder to the rocket cover this week to smoothen the rocket cover and either get it hard plastic dipped in red or piano black. On the outside I'm looking into getting the red paint touched up and give it another few layer of red and more laquer then the same fella is going to hard plastidip the front and rear balance and all the girls and spot light covers in piano black.

That's a fair old list mate, looking forward to seeing all the updates and how it comes together.
Looks smart mate! I deffinately like the Red and Black scheme! Just a quick question, when you ordered the cold side relocation kit for the recirc did it come with the pipe to go from the previous recirc position?
Awesome! You are doing quite a bit that I am trying to get done!
How did you find the drive/power difference after the remap?
