Thumbs up

David, thanks for the drop links

Sorry if i seemed a bit "down", but just tired, was really impressed with what you have done, it looks really good, especially the exhaust and the wiring for the ecu, really tidy.

Just finished rebuilding the coilovers!!!

Just a quick tip - Don't leave your air filter lying like that, bits of **** have a habit of getting in and sticking to the inner surface. They don't shake off when upturned and only become dislodged when the turbo is at full chat
Especially when it is the saize of a waste paper basket!!

Im guessing they would be close to the Steering bits.....
I know when I made my up-pipe that it was very close, and it was only a single pipe..

Do allow clearance for the engine moving about on the mountings, which can be a fair bit.

I am sure you would have thought about this but why can you not fit the headers once the engine is in??

Or am I missing something very obvious again.

Have you considered mounting the air filter below the scoop??
