Trial fitted the wheels over brakes today and they were fine.





Then the car was picked up by grimsby auto electricians for a full rewire and to remove unwanted wiring and equipment.

Should get the car back in 3 weeks or so ready for remap!!!!!

Nice. You might have already but are you going to be fitting a baffled sump to stop oil starvation?

Hope you get things sorted soon!

As for a sump - these look great:

http://www.hyperflow.com.au/index.ph...yas-my9707s2ck

I have a hyperflow top mount intercooler and would really like one of their sumps. If you were interested then we could maybe get a deal on a couple or see if anyone else would be interested in a group buy?

Also, went up Blyton the other day to spectate - would be perfect for testing/setting yours up.

I make stuff like that at work, I also work from templates like that. Makes me laugh sometimes with the 'technical drawings/templates' people bring me, but its all about the finished product. Will look tidy that though.

Mags i stumbled upon this when i went to buy some other parts from chester ,i asked the guy if he was selling his tatty CF spoiler and offered him silly money (£30) for it and he accepted.

It came on his import impreza ,so i would assume it was on it when he imported as the CF was really sun scorched ,so i had it all resprayed and looks nice .

Suprisingly how many people have asked about this shame i cant give any ideas as to where it was purchased from.

just got back from Demon Tweeks i was like a kid in a sweet shop had to hold back the purse strings but got what i needed.

I must say very helpfull guys and to be honest it was overwhelming so much to choose from if only my numbers would come up ...!

Anyhow got the Corbeau pro series drivers seat had to opt for the XL but fits perfect with a little to spare ,had to buy the side mounts seperate but couldn't understand why he was trying to sell me the OMP rails with corbeau seat but i noticed they blocked of part of the side eyelet for harness so quickly asked for the appropriate corbeau side mounts in alloy very light aswell.

next i tried on a pair of sparco flat shoes but the size 9 was to tight and they never had any 10's in stock so will have to wait for those.
Sabelt stage glove was my next purchase just wanted something light as my hands tend to sweat alot in the summer .

I needed a Sytec fuel filter with An-6 fittings to complete the fuel setup which i also bought ,could have spent hours in there (we actually did 3 to be precise )they have a good premises very clean and organised i have wanted to got there for many years but never did so in all a great day out and a few more bits purchased for the car.

Looking good mate.
