That's pretty insane Pete, lucky I couldn't come as I think I would have struggled with my 89db standard near as damn it system

Thought yours was 0 db, as it's been static for a very long time!

Oil cooler plumbed in. I'll clip up the lines when the rad gets its final fitting.





Also finally have a downpipe that fits. She dont look much but ive been on hold for this since dropping the motor back in.

So we're back in business, hopefully the homeward run now

Cheers guys,

DEI wrap arrived today so took the turbo/uppipe back out and got these wraped up. Gave the wastgate pipe and extra layer of Kevlar to help protect the steering UJ.




Got the steering rack to swap when the bushes arrive and i'll get these droped back in and clamped up tight
