About the who is ahead of UK,not sure,some UK parts are better than most of thing from US

If I would want headers which cost like yours I would have look on the Iconel headers(speak to WRC spares)

Killer B cost 400 more than RCM/GTspec/Japspeed, They are all one and the same design and material.

I have run numerous manifolds in the space of the last few years, RCM, GT, Japseed, and they have all had the same effect. a crack around the collector and generally fallen apart.

Now 2 broken manifolds, have paid for my killer b set, and I have a lifetime guarantee.

I dont buy the whole "untested" rubbish, if I wanted to follow the crowd I would have brought some RCM or GT spec headers again, which blatantly dont work or last very well. but having tested something new and got very good results with a promise they wont fall apart in 6 months time I think that is a pretty good deal

Just a few picks of my headwork and block progression I forgot to put up.SJ.

























Hopefully getting near to the finish line with the engine side of things and can start to concentrate more on my wife's car as her plans have changed slightly but I will let her update her own threadSJ.

Paul no worrys matehopefully things should be moving along fine now just in the process of getting the shims for it as there all measured up now and trust me for what they look like they are not cheapand sourcing some AVCS inlet pulleys for which Alyn of ASPERFORMANCE came up trumpsso as long as there are no more little surprises things should be rolling along fine.SJ.

Neil does not want to rush my car in anyway so he is just taking his time to make sure everything is perfect,I can't really complain about that as that has always been my philosophy measure five times and cut once if you get my driftI'm happy with the pace of the progress so everything's cool .SJ.

Not much to tell really as waiting for shims and other parts to come to replace all the parts which my wife has robbed off of my car that includes most of all my spec c bling header tank intercooler pipes etc...Neil wants to get my wife's car completely finished as she has dropped down her Alcatek ecu and sensor pack,toucan etc...so he is going to crack on and get her parts fitted and ready to get mapped up.My Cosworth sump is fitted now though and my new steering wheel has turned up with my QR boss which is a positivemy wife also replaced my car mats that she took (Robbed!!!) out of My car.


COSWORTH SUMP.



NEW CAR MATS.



MOMO STEERING WHEEL AND QR BOSS.
