Default So what do you think?

In preparation for Project Rollercoaster i have had to change a few things on the car ready for a visit to Bob R on Saturday.

The ups and downs of getting things ordered, delivered and fitted etc is another long story all together but after a visit to ACE Motorsport today the final bits and bobs were fitted ready.

One thing i have had to do is get a cold air feed into the engine bay. Rather than follow the usual route of using a foglight surround (i just didn't like the look) to feed the air in i have used a set of brake ducts. The nearside does nothing but even out the look of the car but the offside is now a fully functional cold air feed.

What do you reckon?

Got to say a big thanks to Andy at ACE - top service, top coffee and a top place to get your car serviced

Roll on Saturday

P.S.

Julian - the splitter is off ready to collect

Thanks for the comments all

I picked up a new scott lowe spiltter on the cheap so have just replaced old with new. Also uprated the actuator, exhuast system and will be fitting a 3 port solenoid and RCM induction kit with 80mm trumpet on the day. Then its just down to Bob to work his magic. Will also be getting lauch control along with high and low boost maps as part of the map.

Dave - tbh i had never seen the zerosport ducts before - fair play they look good. Not too keen on the rest of the body mods they offer though.
