Ryan going to speak to Ross re going reverse inlet as I've purchased a fmic with reverse pipe work. What's actually involved doing this? And what's the benefits?

Martin

martin are you going to the nbo??

id love to see your car after all the work you have done

Got my name down mate with our local club but I think we're not attending now due to lack of numbers :cry: had the time booked off work aswell and was getting the car ready for it but don't think it's happening this year.

Martin

People say that it's not worth doing but my pipe work is under their car so not happy with it being that low,, also done people say don't bother but if you see what Ross has accomplished with his car all these little mods make a Big difference

Didt want to go reverse but thinking about it as the pipe work from the hybrid fmic I got off Fud is ready for it :norty:

Unless you want to swap pipe work Ryan so you won't have to cut yours :wonder: ;)

Martin

That could be a good idea mate... Will have to look at your pipes see what fitment is like :)

Fuds not sent it me yet the pipe works black aswell :norty: only pic I've got but could be a good idea if your going to chop yours to rotate :thumb:

cheers ryan

Very nice,reminds me of the old school Cadbury chocolate wrapper colour.SJ.

Needs a few more coats..
going for metallic purple... nit to everyones taste but I like it

cheers ryan

That's all that counts really:thumb:but with that type of colour you need to pick up a few more parts to colour code or maybe some Samco hoses of that similar colour to tie it up with other parts so it does not stand out just by itself if you get my drift.SJ.

Yep way ahead of you mate

inlet manifold
rocker covers
belt cover
cooling pannel
catch can
