Update
I fitted new Perrin short ram induction kit!
Also a Perrin belt cover, have to make a bracket for the second bolt as the bracket was missing.
I think these mods tidy the bay up alot and look much nicer.
ONE WEEK TODAY TIL MAPPING!!

RCM headers and up pipe fitted with new genuine gaskets!
Engine dress up kit fitted along with boost solenoid cover, heat sleeved fuel line above the turbo too.
Also exhaust poly bushes fitted as old ones were crap and had a knock on the exhaust which i sorted too.
Of course gave the back box a polish!
Now ready for mapping down engine tuner on friday! Very excited to see what she makes.

Update!!
Mapping didnt happen due to dyno breakdown. Gutted beyond belief!!
Today i seen a set of wheels i been after for a while now so bit the bullet and drove 5 hour round trip to get them. Speedline Turini's, need a refurb but probably stay gold tbh. Sorry if you were interested in them on ebay but snooze you lose lol
Also got a OMP rep wheel to fit with NRG slim boss
This will be fitted tomorrow!!
So now I'm waiting on another date for mapping, in the mean time my car does nowhere!
cheers

Omg that sucks about the Dyno breaking down. Typical lol.
It'll be worth it in the long run. Any idea how long you'll have to wait to get it mapped, again?

Done a few bits today, fitted OMP wheels and boss
Before
After
I got a resistor to delete the airbag light now just got to put it in, no issues!
Also won a fog cover on Ebay so i can use as a cold air feed as i didnt feel comfortable drilling my covers. BARGAIN!!
As per post yesterday I bought some Speedline Turini alloys so thought I would test fit one and the result is just awesome!! Well excited to get them refurbed and fitted!!
Some pics
Still waiting on a mapping date but shouldnt be too long.
Cheers

Nice car chap and love the new wheels.
Not sure though why you bought a Perrin induction kit when what you had looked to be easily up to the job and would probably have flowed more air!
Also, why did you buy an eBay front mount but a Perrin short ram kit?
Would it not have been better to buy say an HDI FMIC and have kept the induction kit?
Just thought it an odd choice given you've clearly splashed out big time on some of your other mods!
All that said it's a lovely car, always loved the Prodrive kitted bugs (had one, I'm biased
), and look forward to reading more updates.
With a set of tubular headers and a good up pipe you should see more power out of that 2.1 - my SC42 actually made 439 on a 2.0 at Surrey Rolling Road and with your revised spec I wouldn't be surprised if you reached 450, although I know Martyn doesn't like to push cars too much on his maps.

Perrin was bought for me so couldnt not fit it really. The other filter was a £15 ****ter off ebay!
Fmic couldnt wuite stretch to a HDI or perrin so these flow enough for what i need, not heard any horror stories about then and had one one my blob at 407 bhp, in future i may change it.
Rcm headers and up pipe are fitted as i said in the thread mate.
Mapping
Martyn will get it if its there, would rather a safe map then a ***** out car killer, we will be mapping with meth too so who knows what it will produce, seen great results with the sc42+ turbo so hopefully I come out with a well sorted string car. Will update saturday with mapping redults.
Cheers

The old induction kit was a rcm one I shd know I paid for it :-)I do like the look of the perrin one I must say.an I wanted to finish the car off with a perrin front mount.but if what u are saying is correct then the results shd be good anoth with the eBay one.but would you not be thinking what would it make with a perrin front mount or to the same standard.i still can't find anything to replace that car.like I said if you did not find the funds it was never going to be sold to any one else .i still regret that day but fair play to you I know u will look after her.roll on the rolling road

Not that worried about the make of front mount to be honest. It will still make good numbers and drive fine.
You did look abit teary eyed deano when i drove off in it lol at least you know its being looked after. Only put fuel in it once since i bought it off you lol!!
