Hey Richard,

On the upside, with a new maf and the coilpacks, it'll run a treat i'm sure. I can't get over your performance figures! I must pull so well through the gears.

Make sure you post up pics of the grill...

Oh, if it's any consulation, I had to jump mine today as I left the interior lights on over night... flat as a pancake...

James :)

Here you go mate:

not sure if you'll be able to see the difference, but I'm much happier with it now :)

Picked the new catch can up yesterday:

I was going to wait to get a MAF before fitting it, but couldnt wait:

I think I'll paint it black in the future.

Also finally got round to fitting my final fancy bolt and washer :D
Before:

The top rusty one was a nightmare to get off.

After:

Nice work as usual mate :)

Love the grill, looks great. And the little touches with the new bolts etc bring it all together. Nice :)
 
Hi Richard,

Looking good mate, have you seen THESE they look a lot better than the cable ties you have on the catch tank hoses, and having seen your attention to detail thought you may be interested.

Of course its a perfect fit, I used your design ;) thanks again by the way mate. I think I'll paint it sooner rather then later, every time I look at it I cant help but think it doesnt match being silver! probably sounds daft saying as the cars silver, I think I'm getting engine bay OCD though :D

I had planned on fitting everything today but its started snowing so I'm not:)

Just waiting on a set of NGK Iridium spark plugs and some more bits for the bay. Also hoping to sort a new oil cap and coolant bottle cap in the near future.

I'll get some pics up when I get everything fitted :D
 
cheers mate :) the weathers been a pain, when it stopped snowing it started raining. If the weathers ok first thing tomorrow I'll be straight out to the car to get everything fitted.
 
Me too! I got up, showered and dressed and it had started. Guess when it stopped? The minute it went dark, so I couldn't head out and crack on with it. Had been nice all week too, don't you just love British weather...
