Okay guys,

Not much to update, except my turbo is on back order from Garrett so its not here yet. Nevermind as ive been busying myself making a brackets etc for the new fuel filter.

Also painted the fuel reg bracket etc.

(Please take no notice of the mess by the filter, this is where all my wires are cable tied up for now)

Well as you know, im kinda stopped waiting on my turbo and some pipework.

Ive spoken with the guys in the US and im assured the turbo is coming out to me within the next few days so i should see it in about 10 days or so. I hope lol. So im not too worried about it, its here when its here ya know.

Ive been sorting other things too, i'll post some more when i receive the parts.

In the meantime. Somthing ive always wanted was a white "Delrin" gearknob. You know the ones you see on the WRC cars. I couldnt find anyone in the UK that made these but found a company in the US that make gearboxes and they agreed to make me one to fit my 6 speed.

Here it is. Dead chuffed with the quality and look. I think it really complements the interior theme well.

Bling?

I think you find bling is polished, chrome, gold etc.

I dont think a white delrin gearknob qualifies a bling somehow.

Dont you know anything.... D/V DONT make your car faster, just makes it sound like a bus.

But the air filter move has transformed the sound. Moved the front turbo filter to behind the passengers head. sounds awesome now.

I bet it does.

Went out in a Lotus 340R with the induction extension behind my head and that made a sweeet sound. Think I'm still suffering
