Thanks for all the comments guys  :smiley:

Got my custom downpipe and my 2.5" Jetex exhaust fitted



As said before, broke my clutch pipe being a tool, wanted £80 from the stealers, made myself one up outa double ended female flexi for £10 and some brake pipe from work. Have no idea if this will work yet, functionally it should, unsure if it will leak or what the pedal will be like though as noticed the pipe on the standard one is slightly thicker, will have to see  :laugh:



Got my looms sent away, didnt want to mess around with wiring. Once there in, induction + cooling systems and then should be *Fingers Crossed* all systems go. Sure there will be teething problems, but it wouldnt be fun without  :laugh: :lipsrsealed:

Long time since last update, been abroad and took sometime off bloody cars and enjoyed some sun!!

Been busy since been back though!!

Got the flexi from local trade parts place called dingbro, was a delphi hose. Probably have the box and part number somwere if you need it.

Hopefully in about 2/3 weeks. Hopefully less haha!!

So, got the FMIC  fitted, made up some brackets from some old gate brackets



Plumbed the whole lot in, new vacuum pipes and new silicon TIP, aloy hard charge pipes and silicone hoses from ASH.COM
Few bits need adjusted, But pritty happy with result so far






Might get some stick for going blue, but i think it works pritty well tbh.

Got all this stuff in, pritty chuffed tbh  :smiley:

Went to start it the other day, starts and runs!!!!!!! Delighted!!! Only problem, was idling for 2/3 secs then dying... Checked all earths, sensors, plugs, fuses. But looked to me to be an imobiliser fault, which is pritty annoying seeing as the ECU was supposed to be unlocked.... Borrowed the scanner from work to have a look



Other faults are from me messing around with plugs and all cleared fine. Bit annoying iv now gotta send ECU away again... Gonna get the imob chip removed completally rather than just reflashed.

Should get it back next week, then just need to touch up afew bit in the bay and then get the interior back together, new wings and sort out the hoses for the servo then put it to paintshop. Also some new clips for the hoses

Whats people experiance with after market body panels? Not sure what to go for
