tony_cousins Posted March 15, 2008 Author Share Posted March 15, 2008 nice progress Cheers Simon although the injectors are worrying me a little, although i would like to do them i may leave them for you to fit before the remap Also have a few pipes going nowhere at the moment too, so will need advice on them too Link to comment
Jolly Green Monster Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 the only issue is removing the guards on the manifold.. being top feed they are easy to fit once you get to them Simon Link to comment

deani_age Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 She was sleeping, and he just wanted to make everthing wet with the jet wash. OH YEAH! Did I say that I made the car wet today, You would probably call it cleaning, but after Pele did such a fine job, I made it wet, and after a minute using a sponge, Illya just sprayed anything in sight (including me).

tony_cousins Posted March 21, 2008 Author Share Posted March 21, 2008 (edited) Well got the bumper back on today and the intercooler sits 3 inches below the bumper !!! Nice and good for air flow but now need to sort out a splitter to hide it Maybe i should do the front end conversion now lol the newer bumper is deeper ( i think ) got a few more toys to add hopefully this week end weather permitting A nice set of 2.5 sti injectors Fuel pressure reg so i get constant supply no matter what !!!!!! And i got a nice cowling for the instrument panal, the idea is to have boost and fuel ratio gauges in the cowling oil temp,oil pressure and water temp on the top of the dash in a defi pod so its coming along slowly, just got to alter a few pipes under the bonnet and ill be ready for a remap by the Jolly Green Monster Tony Edited March 21, 2008 by Loony Toon Link to comment
