Whiteline 22mm rear adjustable arb.... But what colour should I paint it???
Attachment 68904

Subscribed.

Leave the arb as it is mate get some whiteline drop links fitted with the arb and a fast road set up should work nicely.

Car booked in for set up next Saturday with cupra jake.. Looking forward to it

Looks perfect with new wheels:thumb:
mod to do for You, red hazard switch-really looks way better then old
and front lights looks dimm/foggy :cuckoo:

Got to see this today. Looked and sounded great :)

Did the hazard switch yesterday :)

Regarding the lights drivers side has a bit of damp inside that's job for this weekend whilst getting rear coilovers on and camber bolts.

Then it's off to jake for a little paint, full alignment and full buff and valet :)

Next job after that I'm reversing inlet to shorten fmic pipe work
And hopefully getting a billet turbo on it

Seeing was a nice day treated car to a snow foam wash

Attachment 68908

do you need bracket to fit hella or you can use existing/old one :wonder:

Got brackets on the back of then mate

Looks nice..what size and offset are you XXR wheels if i may ask..they seem to fill arches just right,and did you have any fouling with your lowered standard struts on :thumb:

There 8.75 with 235/40:18 tyres mate.... We're a bit of pain to get to fit... Arch work on rear.. Fronts were ok tho.

Managed to get a early finish from work today so putting on my rear bc"s :)

Been very busy this week

On Wednesday with ROSSSTI (thanks for help pal) changed my MD321V for a non billet T
Ready for remap with Andy Carr yestesterday
Sod's law day before the up-pipe decides to crack the welds
So Brian at cams sorted me with new RCM one after full day with Andy and Brian I can say after a long journey the car is 100% the T is so much better than the V for my car.. Pushing out about 440bhp :)

Thanks a lot for all the help off everyone :)

cracking blob pal! How do you find the decat with the nur spec, does it sound well or is it quite raspy? Ive got a nur spec on my sti and wanting to go either decat or sports cat but dont want it to sound like a fart down a drainpipe... Do you have any videos?

A very nice blobeye.SJ.

Thanks mate :)....

Coming along great mate.
better choice of turbo you have for your engine now too.
great bhp result

Cheers mate
Yeah loving this turbo! Andy has worked his magic! Power all the way through... Spending day on it in couple weeks with ROSSSTI, reversing inlet few other bits then want to get it on dyno
