Rick @ RE Motorsport.
Big thank you for spending ( all day ! ) sorting a few problems with my car.
Ground away sub-frame to clear headers, and sprayed black.
Ground/filed away flange on headers (£800
) supplied with a banana'd flange on the nearside, no wonder they leaked 
Ground away bell housing to clear new turbo.
And fitted new up-rated engine and gearbox mounts.
And a big thank you to Steve for the coffee and putting up with my waffle !
Thanks Rick

Well as the supplier has blanked me....
They are GT-Spec three-bolt headers with ceramic coating.
Many people sell them and apparently never had ANY problems....
So I'm just unlucky, I thought it was my diy skills that were the problem !
Not happy !
Looking for a new parts supplier now !

Well another instalment done !
Exedy clutch and quickshift plus some nifty welding to MAF housing and a new K&N air filter all done.
Thanks to Claire, Rick and Stevie ( ta for the lift ! ) at RE Motorsport.
Just a re-map, MOT and suspension and she's done !
