| Ste - will contact you sometime this week, red shed may be getting a LET now.
LiD0N - cheers mate, much appreciated, its been around a while now!!
peester - can't believe its sat that low considering there is no weight apart from the battery in the back. Red stripe is to make it more standard and factory looking along with the more hidden intercooler and no bonnet vents this time. | |

Wish I could get the engine bay looking a bit less cluttered, looks really busy compared to some i've seen, thought painting things black would help  | |

| It did used to rub a bit above where the shock goes into the boot but have just changed down to 195/40 R16's so may just have enough clearance.
Bay has been smoothed but can't really see it with everything in. | |

Leaving the plug cover, don't want anything shiny, manifold heat shield needs something doing as its too blingy but powdercoat would just melt I think. | |

| Latest update on this is i've bought a Wizards of NOS nitrous kit with minimax controller, going to keep and use this kit after selling the one I bought last year. Feel the car is better equipped for putting the power down this time with the diff and equal length shaft setup on it now.
Engine may be having to come apart though if I decide to fit steel rods for piece of mind as the standard ones will probably be on borrowed time.
Also needing to get a wideband sensor at this stage I think to keep an eye on fuelling, can see this snowballing into another massive spend on the bloody thing. | |

| Looking good Lee.
A few things that might help to tidy up/de-clutter:-
The breather pipe that runs down the side of the cambelt cover, run it over the thermostat housing and under the intake house and then down the side. 
Also, I ran my turbo water hose under the slam panel p-clipped into place:- 
I also moved the anal valve to the scuttle. You shouldn't have to lengthen the wiring it should pull back enough.     | |
