Thanks mate, yeh makes it look alot cleaner at the back. Hybrid is coming after the summer holidays out the way, so prob september time. Next up to buy is an INA manifold and some engine mounts. Got the BAM injectors and 3' MAf housing sitting in my room. Then send the turbo away for the treatment and then off to Bills for mapping! Cant wait!

Plans for yours?

Mine needs a little tidy up first, i do keep seeing bits for sale that i keep thinking about buying but im trying to be sensible. I dread to think how much ive spent already on the bloody thing and im still not happy, lol.

Ah ok, no mate i dont have bolt down coil packs, dont see the need personally.

Bit of an update, dropping my new front bumper off next week to a friend on the forum to get it sparyed up and have the center bar removed and smoothed as i broke my last one reversing off my drive. Should neaten the front end up alot, also going to get my colour coded bump strips sprayed again as they are a slightly different shade of red to the bumper, cant wait!

Ordered some bits from cleanyourcar, great service by the way, cant recommend them enough. Ordered a snow foam lance along with some snow foam and a sonus drying blanket!

Never used snow foam before, its such fun and does clean the car very well!

Some shots of her covered in white stuff :p

Then gave her a good claying before finishing her off with some Poorboys Natty Red Paste (great stuff, easy to put on and off and smells of hubba bubba)

Managed to get hold of a INA high flow manifold as part of the group buy. Arrived last week and looks like a quality bit of kit for the money spent! Same cant be said of INA;s customer service, but thats a hole other can of worms i wont go into ;)

Anyway, here are a few pics:D

As you can see, its a heafty lump and should give me a few more horses over the standard manifold. Dont have the required skills to fit this myself, so will probably be booking it in to AMD Essex as they owe me a rolling road, so i'll get it RR's before and after to see what difference its made.

Also bought a set of new spark plugs, IK22's, mine have been in for almost 10k so due a change;)

Current plans for the car are to save up to send my old ko3 to CR and hybridize it. Only really need to buy a LCR fuel pump as i have most of the bits sitting in my room ready to go on. Might have to get some new ARB's to compliment my coilovers. Plans plans plans......

Comments welcome
