Update 25/02/12

Well Ive had a fairly productive weekend and lush weather to enjoy it in  :cool:.

Soo Where do I begin  :laugh:

Take one Forge map sensor and a dremel with cutting piece =


Add a pipe work section and an Alli welder =


Then the dismantling began



Untill you see this on the floor  :lipsrsealed:



 :rolleyes:....  the aircon randomly turned it self on and after tucking this hose out the way to fit the IC pipe work, the outter edge of the fan slit through it  :angry:


Annoying expensive mistake £25 antifreeze £25 + VAT for hose


Also Got myself a short Shifter for my 6Speed box  :laugh:


Theres so much less throw in the shifting now, it really is worth doing for the sake of £50 fine ones.





After having a little play last weekend with fitment etc, I soon realised that I wasnt supplied with the right size coupling that comes off the hotside of the turbo, so ordered one and recieved in time for fitment


After dismantling the front I picked the right size adaptor for the Forge map sensor


Roughly implace


Atached fully clamped up :cool:






This area needs a good sort out, everythings so tight, bit worried about hose kinking  :undecided:



Quote of the day... 'GO BIG..... OR GO HOME'  :grin:


Didnt even have to cut the crash bar  :cool:


Plenty of room between FMIC, Aircon Rad & Coolant rad  :cool:


Got too dark for the bumper so im going to tackle it this week  :cool:

thanks for your time, comments/constructive critisism welcome  :cool:
