Ahhh ok. And what about the black box with 3 what look like plugs coming from it. Sits above coolant expansion resevior. The plugs wobble and are loose. Never seen anything like it before.
 
Ok not posted for a while but new 6 paddle clutch and l&b flywheel, cambelt and decat going on tomorrow.

Will get some photos and video of car when its back and clean.
 
Photos of Decat and Clutch before they went on.

Decat



Clutch 6 Paddle with L&B Flywheel



Garage put on clutch yesterday and said it was heavy and aggressive. Very off and on, which is good :D
 
OK.

Just got car back and took it out for a spin. Obviously gotta run it in for the next 500 odd miles.

Clutch is heavier (expected) and judders slightly when you dont give it enough gas.

Exhaust is still unoffensive (resonated Miltek) after fitting the decat but when you put your foot down deffo more induction noise and pops from exhaust.

Cambelt......well its turning stuff :)

Just bought SFS oversized TIP, so hopefully next weekend will have Wellycooler on, TIP and then need to get some miles under my belt before pump/regulator and injectors go in and remap. All that after xmas.

Compound also on the cards to liven up paintwork and bonnet, roof wrap and wheel colour change.

:):)

Hi guys.

Obviously with it being xmas and 2 little rugrats to takr care of the build is a little on hold.

Stripped down waiting on IC to be fitted along with Mocal Oil cooler 19 row.

For some reason Photobucket is always jumping to a virus page so i cant show pics. I am not great on computers so dont know what to do:cry:

SFS oversized tip on.

New clips needed now. Should be OTR next weekend and hopefully 1st track day 17th Jan at Oulton Park.
 
Welly cooler has gone on today but I have had to take out a load of my bumper to make it fit!!! I am hoping the fog light cover will go back on otherwise I will have to trim them to make them fit.

Attempting oil cooler tomorrow so we will see how that goes.

Will post pics tomorrow. :D
 
Christ I hope you don't need to change any N/S bulbs any time soon

Yup...gonna be a mare. TBH 75mm is well overkill and too big for my needs. I think 63mm would have been fine. Only going for stage 2.

Who mapped yours? Have you got a thread on your build?
