when you say blow off valve, do you mean a diesel dump valve? lol. like the wheels myself btw colour of the car is what id go for

Ye mate, it works slightly different to the usual dump valve it just relieves un-used boost as opposed to putting it to use.

It took me 6 months to find one this colour, it was high milage but had full service history so it wasnt really a problem.

Thanks for the other posative comments guys

I'm just waiting for a couple more finishing touches to arrive then i'll do a full shoot both inside and out.

Some pics of the rear leather seats.







The leather hasnt settled properly yet and the lighting isnt the best but i'll get some better pics uploaded through the week.

I've also removed the centre seat belt

It meant cutting another hole in the leather and didnt really look right, it has no detrimental effects on anything such as the mot because if it isnt there it cant be tested and the other belts are sufficient for 2 passengers, And believe it or not on the logbook the car is down as a 6 seater!?!

Here's the kit i put together (99.99% complete) I'm just waiting for 2 more pieces, one from SFS the other from ebay then it'll be complete.



I've still not taken pics of the bay yet as most of them are still at my house.

I'll have some more pics tomorrow with some luck!

Most of its in place but i've had a few running issue which were down to the blow off valve so it still has the standard pipe from the intercooler to in let at the mo. I was trying tp get it finished and pictured today and fit my 312mm brakes but i've had to put a clutch in my dads alhambra. On the possative side its booked in for a new custom exhaust in 3 weeks

By the way i hate cars!!!!!!
