I'm sure we can do a few

whens the rolling road day?

Get your name down mate

Hey Richard,

On the upside, with a new maf and the coilpacks, it'll run a treat i'm sure. I can't get over your performance figures! I must pull so well through the gears.

Make sure you post up pics of the grill...

Oh, if it's any consulation, I had to jump mine today as I left the interior lights on over night... flat as a pancake...

Here you go mate:

not sure if you'll be able to see the difference, but I'm much happier with it now

Picked the new catch can up yesterday:

I was going to wait to get a MAF before fitting it, but couldnt wait:

I think I'll paint it black in the future.

Also finally got round to fitting my final fancy bolt and washer
Before:

The top rusty one was a nightmare to get off.

After:

Cheers for looking

edit - I've got a new battery too

Nice work as usual mate

Love the grill, looks great. And the little touches with the new bolts etc bring it all together. Nice

Cheers mate, got some more on the way

 

[t0m]

Cheers mate, got some more on the way

Looking forward to whatever it is! Minor touches are great to do, too many people look past all this kinda stuff

 

[RDS]

Totally agree mate

 

[EL]

Great work mate. That catch can fitment is so much better than the toyosports one. Good going!

 

[RDS]

Thanks EL, I think the can needs painted black though not sure the silver suits.

Hi Richard,

Looking good mate, have you seen THESE they look a lot better than the cable ties you have on the catch tank hoses, and having seen your attention to detail thought you may be interested.

 

[RDS]

Cheers Phill,

I'll be getting one of those order, theres a couple of other things that company does that I think I may get aswell.

 

[Phillc]

I use them a lot they are very good and i usually get the order the next day.

 

[RDS]

good to know mate, thanks again

 

[sambryant]

Nice work with catch can m8 looks a perfect fit

 

[RDS]

Of course its a perfect fit, I used your design thanks again by the way mate. I think I'll paint it sooner rather then later, every time I look at it I cant help but think it doesnt match being silver! probably sounds daft saying as the cars silver, I think I'm getting engine bay OCD though

 

[LCR 225]

Car looks great mate!I've just added a few more bits to my list now, cheers lol. Your bay looks mint to looking really good. Keep up the good work.

 

[RDS]

cheers mate. I've got a few bits on order, so hopefully will be able to put an update on this weekend

 

[RDS]

A few things turned up in the post:

N75 and MAF, thanks to Dave at Sere

Hose finishers and seperater, thanks to Phillc previous post

And I've also painted the catch can:

I had planned on fitting everything today but its started snowing so I'm not

Just waiting on a set of NGK Iridium spark plugs and some more bits for the bay. Also hoping to sort a new oil cap and coolant bottle cap in the near future.

I'll get some pics up when I get everything fitted

 

[8bit]

Nice stuff, like the catch can in particular

Weather stopped my plans for today too

 

[RDS]

cheers mate the weathers been a pain, when it stopped snowing it started raining. If the weathers ok first thing tomorrow I'll be straight out to the car to get everything fitted.

 

[8bit]

Me too! I got up, showered and dressed and it had started. Guess when it stopped? The minute it went dark, so I couldn't head out and crack on with it. Had been nice all week too, don't you just love British weather...
