After a swirlpot if you know of any around could do with a full kit ext pump ,hose's and connections if you can keep your eyes open for me cheers lads.
hopefully finish fmic off this weekend and get oil cooler fitted when it comes, apex have informed me the ksports will be here in a week whooopeee !!! get some brakes back on it.

Picked up my freshly painted matt black boot today thanks dave another cracking job !
Saw this for sale when i went to warrington to pick up an sti seat and thought it would go well on my track car my mate dave is going to dip the painted black brackets as they are alloy and should come up really well.
The alloy side panels will be sprayed black and as the carbo fibre panel is weather marked he is going to spray it blue 95h so when finished should look quite good.

Update: spoke with kevin yesterday regarding roll cage and I've asked for extra support bars to be welded in from drivers sill to transmition tunnel for bucket seat frame, the cost of this for both sides came in at £255 so probebly half that now as only drivers side is getting done and standered sti passenger seat so using existing seat mounts .

Had a reasonable day down the garage today i had a problem when i tried to start the car yesterday with the fmic installed.
The engined just reved up on full throttle and i was mifed as to why.
But after speaking with duncan he suggested to check and clean the ICV which i did and couldnt believe the amount of crap that came from it well worth doing if you havnt already as the pics show,i didnt take one when i took it out but you can tell by the picture the crap that came out of it but all cleaned put back and bingo started first time .
all cleaned ready to go back in i used carb cleaner .
cut the bumper some more around the fog inserts to fit around front mount
a pic of the decals il be having on the side of my car but in silver to match front fog decals
