HOL Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 Some of you may know that I have recently acquired an APS Front Mount for my newage car. I aim to fit this soon and the normal thing to do in such case is to produce a photographic fitting guide of what was done, for the next person to attempt. Being the immature thirty something that I am, I intend to make a slight joke of the whole affair and intend to include a number of humurous photographs in with the good stuff. I will therefore be holding an intercooler fitting party/bbq at the end of May, weather permitting. If you would like to be immortalised on SN or the SIDC forums please let me know by PM or email. I have all the tools and space need to fit the intercooler and I reckon on no more than 4 hours elapsed spanner time to fit. The hardests thing will be cutting the bumper. Link to comment

[:S] This is an APS kit, so it should fit first time. the only issues will be with the bumper cutting. And I have a cunning plan for that. Link to comment

HOL Posted May 17, 2006 Author Share Posted May 17, 2006 OK, This has taken a slight back seat with recent events, as has the KS Cup. [] Im gonna do this over the whole of the Bank Holiday WE. I'll start on the Saturday, to fit the IC and pipework if anyone is free and then probably finish on the Sunday Morning with the bumper trimming. Monday, I might just have a BBQ. [] Although the landscapers will not have finished me patio. [] Ill PM all those who expressed an interest. HOL Link to comment

HOL Posted May 28, 2006 Author Share Posted May 28, 2006 MMMMmmmmmm......Interesting day in Andy's garage today..... Luckily we took some of our own tools...Andy's 3rd generation hand me downs...[] Just cos my tool box shows that I have been a spannerman for years. dont mean all the tools are the same age. Cheek sod![] The intercooler is in and the car is running, but I have nor brakes [:'(] I do no need to refit the intercooler, but cant drive the car until I get a set of inlet manifold gaskets as I need to remove a broken breather. The law of sod. Day off tomorrow and bumper on Monday. Link to comment
