Cusco rear lower power brace powder coated red and rear diff thingie with upgraded bushes
Tightened the back end up much better and gear selection is much better when dropping a gear
Few pics as always
Sorted out my engine bay over the last few weeks. It went from this
To this
Also had the secondary air pump, and tgv's deleted, rcm manifold spacers, perrin cold air intake, turbo inlet and turbo blanket. All mapped in yesterday

Thanks mate
Yours is miles cleaner than mine I’ve just put the bits on yet, going to strip it all underneath in winters
The attention to detail is superb on yours

Looks good.Why do people fit manifold spacers though?
Helps keep inlet temps down by insulating the manifold from the heads. And raises the inlet 10mm so you can fit a bigger inlet pipe for big turbos( which I don't have ). I have noticed that my inlet manifold is a lot cooler after driving than before.

Thanks for clearing that up I always wondered why.is it a popular mod then and do you get longer bolts with it
It depends on the kit. The rcm ones come with new gaskets and longer bolts. Other ones come with just spacers. I think quite a few have done it. In my case the inlet was off anyway so why not.
Added Perrin Radiator shroud and belt shroud. Plans are red strut brace, full roof d samco hose kit (intercooler, powersteering, ancillaries and radiator) will also look at a custom fuse box and battery cover
finally got back my abs unit cover back from dipping. Had a grimmspeed air oil seperator fitted along with a vf43 turbo and all mapped in by Neil @ slow boy racing.
