So happy with the car now, it was looking in a bit of a sorry state with winter lasting forever, here's few more pics...

Front brakes look big! :D

And so the photo whoring from SpringFest begins...

A top up of my cleaning gear from the amazing Easter deals at Autobrite Direct:

Managed to get quick polish of the roof, bonnet and boot in but couldn't do too much with the clouds looming, then it rained before I could get any wax on :(

Attempting to get some wax on in lol:

3rd on the handling circuit on my 3rd run after getting 5th on my 2nd run :) Wished I'd had a go earlier in the day to see how much difference putting my RARB on stiff and removing the rear seats, spare wheel and boot full of cleaning products would have made lol

Nice, what camera did you get?

Thanks, I got a Canon EOS 600D with the standard 18-55mm lens, I'm enjoying it and it's not been too difficult to get use to having used my little brothers 550d a few times before :)

I like the catch tank may I aske through did it make any diffrance in running of the engine I have a catch tank but am in two minds where to run the pipe. Possibly back to the inlet manifold or run it to a breather filter I don't know lol

It's a preventative thing so it doesn't run any difference as such, I used a breather filter as after spending hours cleaning the intake manifold I didn't want their to be any chance of it getting all caked up again. There's also more risk plumbing it back in as you have to be careful what you use as a baffle as this can be sucked into the turbo intake pipe.

If you baffle the can well enough there shouldn't be much vapour coming out of the breather, if it's cold and you have no baffles it looks a bit alarming lol! It also won't catch much/anything without some type of baffle.

I've done similar to this in mine (but with a plastic pipe instead of the copper one shown):

Well I was planning of making a wire cage inside the catch can made from stainless steel wire stuff we use at work but like I said I was planning of sending it back to the inlet I wanted to know what's te diffrance between sendin it back to the inlet or sending it to a filter
