Hi mate, thanks ill take a look. I cut just inside the chassis rails, left enough to rivet the alloy floor onto. The difuser was cut to size and just bolted together. If i did it again id just bolt the difuser sides direct to boot floor. Things get tricky if you mount the difuser too high at the back as it hits the boot floor! Id like to get some better rear shots but its wedged up against a fence!

Looking good but any chance of a few shots further back to see the rear end in all its glory, liking the brake colour nice idea, can I ask why you have gone for bembos thought most people went to k sports or ap as the brembo have a tendency to flex due to caliper design.
Best of luck and will be following this but please more wider angled pics

Engines in after a few wiring issues, had the wrong engine loom and sensors. Sorted the breather set up and bypassed a few things ie throttle body water pipes etc. Swapped all the rubber hoses and also made up a resonator delete pipe on the air inlet.
Alloy rad, AP clutch fitted and some RCM 550cc injectors. Just waiting on headers so I can wrap and port them. Also need a baffled sump but prices around £500 its gonna be a long wait.

If you don't have compressed air and die grinders you will struggle and it is dirty arduous work. Remember it is not just a matter of opening the diameter but the shape of the in and out ports are critical as the objective is to accelerate the gas flow.

Thanks harvey. Just trying to keep costs down or you'll be 1st choice.
Enjoyed a Lambo Murch LP640 track day 2day, bloody amazing! The hot lap was in a Focus RS and boy did he throw it round corners in the wet. I seriously didnt know cornering that fast was possible in a Focus

Hoped to get her running this week but I've been tucked up by a seller on a up-pipe! Bought all the race fluids for brakes, power steering etc.
Fitted some bonnet lifters, I can see why you can't use these on a carbon/fibreglass bonnets. Great mod mind, nearly took my head off earlier when I forgot they were fitted!
Headers ported and wrapped. I used some grinding stones all different shapes on a drill and managed to do a decent job in 2/3 hours. Managed to get quite deep into ports, not a bad job to do and worth having ago yourself. The up-pipes big enough already.
Air pipe/resonator delete done, bit of a mare as I could not find a 55mm to 70mm silicone elbow. Managed to use a 55mm sleeve on turbo and slip a 60mm to 70mm elbow over that. Just need to connect the pipe on inlet to manifold somehow. To much of a bend not to kink. Think I'll use x2 plastic elbows.

Hi guys, anyone got a clue on connecting the lambda up? Ive got 3 wires on my loom and 2 on the lambda. Is it possible or do I need another lambda? Cheers.

I was lucky enough to go on track before getting a full system and seeing how strict they are and that mine was already at at 87db, got me thinking sraight away what to do.
Thanks
