Looks amazing, fucking love the plates, such a simple touch but imagining seeing those 2 rolling together makes me moist.

So after blowing a hole in 2 valves not long after booking my tickets to PVS 2010 was time to get a move on and get it suited and booted.
Off she went for 6 weeks engine got sent a way and my guy was going to do his thing fitting TBS, uknowen to me he had not a clue how to fit them lies apon lies later i just took my car back and set about it with a friend that was more into bikes and carbs ect but we worked some magic in my garage after booting the rs out to cover bought some things in during said time
Janspeed Manifold
OMP Disk And Green Stuff Pads
BBS RX Alloys
Wheels were in a bit of a state so off they went to get refurbed and powdercoated white, also managed to bag a spare and off they went ! bought in some new center caps to old ones were past it for sure.
Back they came, new caps went in to
Anyway we set about sorting the mess, tb set up came out so we could start from scratch back in and off we went blocking egr and baisically getting it up to speed with looms, re-routing,blocking fitting janspeed and selling some old bits on, also fitted the fpr the wrong way about which was silly and took a while to find out
While being away sitting for 6 weeks the car was a bit of a bogging mess with light scuffs i really needed to set about so took a weekend off the engine and got the paint back to well imo the best i have seen it since it came out of paint last year with my mate who hates modded cars to give me a hand it came up well !.
Bought in some trumpets and filter socks just incase i changed my mind on running them bollock naked. 
Adjustable FPRS fucking hate them broke the one i started off with bought an ebay jobby with a gauge was shit so bought another like the first 3 fprs sitting
Bought a steinmetz grill to replace the old ebay one expensive but really nice and well made
On went the trumpets and a little heat sheild i made from a c20xe one i had about
Clean up arrange a few bits later with strut brace on, few more pics.
So thats us uptodate on where i am atm car sounds fucking good , need to get some tyres on the BBS rims and fitted up, paint janspeed and buy in a de-cat, carbon fiber bonnet and inner arches to come and fit the new cage if i have the time for PVS !!, got a few other goodies here lined up to be fitted after PVS DBilas fast road cams,pulleys and ecu to all go on and set up to bring out the power !
Just like to thanks anyone who i pestered over the past few months more so Linch and warren g filled in many gaps and lead the way to the light thanks a lot hope to see you at PVS to thank peeps in person

Very nice. Should try and get a sausage filter for the bodies. Would have to make something up with a baseplate and space might be an issue but it would look so much better than the sock filters. Engine bay looks mint at the moment.
