This is an awesome build mate, bet you can't wait to run it. Hope its not much longer for you.  :smiley:

Thanks mate yeah I cant wait to get it on the road! Its just a shame I havent had much work so far this year so cant afford to buy the last few bit and pieces, bolts and gaskets add up! Loads of work starting mon so should be all good from now on. Get this baby back on the road!

I know the feeling as I built a 350bhp cav and couldn't wait to get it back on the road, but didn't have to do as much fabrication as you have.
Enjoy it when you get it on the road mate.... I know you will.  :wink:

Ordered some G12 and exhaust wrap today so will wrap the downpipe and charge pipe when it arrives. Going to get something to go around the turbo aswell to try and keep engine bay temps down. The turbo lines from Hel should be arriving either on fri or early next wk so now have oil and coolant ready to start it when they come.

Now everything is pretty much all wired and plumbed in so this will be my engine bay. It still needs a bit of a clean but will do that once I get it out of the garage as the whole car needs a clean!





Next prob is the wheels sticking out past the arch heres a picture of them. Its still on stands so hopefully once its down it will pull them in a bit. Fingers crossed as I like the wheels.

Yeah tell me about it, not good! There is some space between the caliper and rim but not alot, once it comes off the stands ill know the exact clearance maybe I could try 15mm spacer but it doesnt look like it will be enough. Fingers crossed  :smiley:
