Got the Bilstein rear shocks fitted and sorted my manifold out abit to stop it blowing as well, pai ted a spare set of cam covers yellow to go with the brembos. Now means I have a silver set, black set, red set and yellow set haha. Made a start on pulling the engine out of the black 6 as well but got bored of that and ended up helping my mate stick a VTS engine in his VTR and pulled the front end off his berlingo van ready to remove the engine. Hopefully have hubs changed over tomorrow, radiator pulled forward, lambda wires extended and a few other bits.
Tried my mates white 1.2s up against my car to see what they look like. Quite like them, tempted to do mine white or Yellow Cool

Just working on little bits and bobs at the minute so I have less to do when I come to fit my inlet hopefully by the end of the month. Changed my hubs over at the weekend as my driverside ball joint hole was ovaled. Fitted new ball joints and track rod ends. Yesterday I bulled the front end back off to fit the slim line fan ready for moving the rad forward and fitted the ASH silicone flexi top water pipe. Oh and painted my tow hook to match my brakes Cool

Been messing on over the past couple of days with the spare centre console I had and decided to lower my radio down and fit a carbon radio blank for my gauges to sit in. Radio is in and wired up but gauges are just in place for the time being. I will be replacing the digital volt gauge for a racetech gauge to match my oil pressure gauge at some point. May also remove the top right hand vent and stick a carbon blank in there too for when I get an AEM. Quite happy with how it has turned out.

Spoox thermostat adapter. There about £50. Bit of a rip off but got to be paid if you want it

Not got alot done this weekend but did sort out the lights on my heater control and while on with that fitted another carbon blank to the top vent ready for when I buy an AEM wideband gauge. Also had my throttle body adapter made so now I have everything there ready to fit my inlet. Jim is going to make a start on the omex loom tomorrow and modify the fuel rail through the week so once they are done its all ready to go Big grin

Need to stop spending money on other things and get my engine done haha. Look like I have a set of 16" speedline turinis on the way. Not sure what to do with these yet till I have tried them on the car but really fancy a set of 15" compomotive flat 5 spoke wheels. Also picking up a set of 21mm torsion bars in the morning I am getting off a mate for a bargain price of £30 Cool and best of all should hopefully have myself a mint carbon bonnet in the next week or 2.
Just waiting on a phone call off Dave the bloke who will be mapping my car to see when he can get me in for mapping then I can go from there getting everything put together.

Yeah 1 comes from the cam cover other one is just a drain down to the floor. Should hopefully sound even better once cam timing is set up and I have the VLR inlet fitted Cool

Now. I picked my 21mm torsion bars up at the weekend for a bargain price of £30 Cool will hopefully get them on fitted at the end of the week. Also had a set of 16" speedline turinis turn up today too. Fitted with 195/50 yokohama A048s probably get 1 track day out of them but no use for the road. Not sure if I like them on the car to be honest compared to my pro 1.2 what are fitted with 195/45 nankang NS-2s. Whats your thoughts on the wheels?

The 45s on the 1.2 are just what came with the wheels. Had loads of tread on them when I bought them and had 2 spare 45s as well so making use of them before I change up to a 50 profile. I want a set of compomotive mo 5s so will get decent tyres when I find a set of comps Big grin

Me too I just fancy a change. Looks like I am having to wait an extra week now before I can fit all my bits. Cant get into the garage for use of the ramp till next weekend now! And cant seem to get hold of Dave who is meant to be mapping the car for me! Never going to get sorted at this rate.
