Thanks mate ;)

That'll be great if you can get me a price.:funk:

How long did you wait for the piping to come from the states?

Your pictures and the parts make it look so easy, I was speaking to dan leoncupra about his custom one too.

Cant wait to get the project up and running

Speaking about dan, he has a viper for sale cus he'd IHI'd, do you think it'll fit my LCR Rick? :confused:

He said he has checked it with manufacturers and they have confirmed that it will fit.
How can I bung up one of the inlets???

I've brought it now anyway, so first mods now under my belt.

Yea I will.

Will it work ok if i put an oil breather on it?

will the air being sucked in through the intake just go out the breather tho?

I'll know more when I get it, so i'll let you know mate.

You got any new toys recently??;)

picked my mate Sam up this morning 9 am to get to the tracking place for 11, we arrived at 10 lol, the guys who did it were sound, they had ramps that i could actually drive up, they did the 4 wheel alignment, and this was a special piece of kit i even have a comp print ut of it all, whilst me and sam were watching and having a brew the lads set to work and 2 hours later all 4 wheels pointed forward lol. After we went to birmingham to see a chinese man called Bob for an ally strut brace, on the way we saw some strange and cool things,

1. a couple of lambos
2. a couple of 360s
3. a 360 spider in orange :banned: with the floors to go logo all over it
4.oslamma bin laden, yes no **** it really was him, and he waved at us lol.
5.bob marley in a gold rover 25
6. meeting my first chinese man named Bob
7.herbie the love bug fully replicad
8. a modded pt cruiser doing 45 on the M1, slowed down to get some pics but got bored lol.

anyway got the tracking sorted but need 4 new tyres :censored:

Xenonlights

Guest
Nice paint job.
You could put xenons on the lights. That will improve the look when they are on:)
www.HIDS4U.co.uk offers group buy prices on all their kits
H4 bixenon kits with shields means great low and high beam with no glare. Non H4 bixenon kits, ie the ones with halogen bulbs as main beams are a waste of time.

A H4 kit is 250 with free postage http://www.hids4u.co.uk/product_details.asp?id=231

A H7 kit is 179.99 plus pp http://www.hids4u.co.uk/product_details.asp?id=155

If anyone has any questions please feel free to ask.
Regards
Ian
