true but is will be once a week rather than once a day I need to do so

thanks.. will put it on the to do list then

do you get that with membership? if so I'll join right away.. well probably this evening as I need to go out now

can I get an extension..

doh.. sorry I need a bigger inbox.. Simon

from this picture the shift in the front panel is rather obvious http://www.jollygreenmonster.fotopic.net/p49354435.html broom, no broom broom.. Simon

you might find the tb intercooler pipe then touches bonnet so you need to weld a wedge to angle it down slightly

on newage lots... the chamber is not large enough on the front to take a tb flange.. may be possible to just bolt it on the wrong way though

cost of paying for another inlet and getting someone to weld it up.. it is not a straight off the shelf part. Simon

no worries.. I have have one I want to take out of my silver wrx.. to fit a uk but no time to swap.. Simon

yes.. want to get the car running asap, else my interest will lapse.. I can then sort new intercooler pipework and a few jobs outstanding on the setup.. but reversed inlet is staying.. I have a spare which I might get reversed or altered as an alternative.. but I see no reason to go back to normal one Simon

Some progress at last! was mapping from where the cars are today so managed to get a little bit done.. fuel pump is fitted from other car... one comical moment.. I thought I best check the tank in the new car as it had been left open... look in and see something but looks like gunge but not able to see clearly.. so put my hand in and touch it expecting slimey residue from dirt in tank fuel residue etc and it feels like a bit of material.. so I pull it out.. look in my hand and I am holding a dead mouse.. lol.. pickled Yorkshire Mouse anyone? typical yorkshireman mouse.. drinks like a fish.. then with the heavy rain I was not able to do much.. did a couple of jobs under the bonnet.. like fixing washer bottle, fixing ignitor etc.. sprayed some paint on a couple of bits that had no paint.. removed the wood effect bits off the dash that weren't to my taste.. fitted the intercooler and checked bumper fit and I don't think it needs any extra cutting.. looks hacked enough by previous hybrid install.. lol I then fitted the new gearbox mount to the box.. at about 3 it stopped raining.. so I dashed for the engine crane and swapped the engine over.. nearly forgot to fit the new engine mounts and had to lift it back out again.. lol Radiator in and a few connectors etc plugged in.. glad to get some progress but still way behind where I wanted to be. Pics to follow Simon

damn sorry clearing

oh and have a draft of new website too but probably best not post it.. advertising etc..

white lettering might work.. on both.. dunno just like holographic chrome..

both I am currnetly thinknig the green needs to be carefully chosen to not match the peppermint and be reflective / shiny and the JGM be chrome not body colour. Simon

no.. one is silver and the other peppermint green he just had a nice white picture to start with

the same only with the curved edge the other way etc..
