Ah OK!

Well I have this to do it!
With double front and the rear door open it's like a wind tunnel!

It may be for sale shortly though you will have to take the house with it!

More progress.

Bibbs and Mark you were winding me up on that fuel pump!
Took me 30 minutes no problems at all!

Wish I could say the same on the oil return hose!
I thought I'd be a smart ar$e and try to leave the oil in!
I also got a steel adapter for the sump to hose on Bibbs recommendation.
er was the wrong thread so I ended up with most the oil pi$$ing out over the card board.
So I gave in graciously and drained it properly!
Then I did it the way the destructions suggested

Did the Krank Vents and finished off the air box.
Made a template for the FPR to go behind the coolant expansion tank.

So all that is left is the FPR, ESM and power supply to the coolant pump and then I fire it up!
I reckon I'll have an official cermony on Friday evening and christen it with a beer or 5
Nitron confirmed they are shipping my 2 way coilovers Friday.
Chris Franklin confirmed a whole day to set up the chassis.
Also got a Tango Man day booked to sort out the paint work.

30 mins?? We did help you

Did you not jack the front up for the oil hose?

I can supply you some nice Motul now

I forget, are you going to run on the stock fulling stuff until you get an AEM?

If so, are you planning a series of logging runs, 1000 rpm at a time??

D'oh - about the sump nut adaptor.

I managed to shread my ally one. Under the car, oil leaking out, and then i had to drive 5 mins up the road to Pirtek to get one made. Don't think it'd have survived long.
