Red Painting the Inlet Manifold and Stuff.
Next weekend is Bank Holiday and I have got my hands on a fully equipped Hangar, ramps, tools etc.
Pippyrips is supposed to be detailing his car.
I intend to fit the turbo inlet hose at last!, the ancillary hose kit all in a nice shade of red and straighten up the bigger I/C. While it's all off I'll re-paint the inlet manifold.
So, if you need to use a hangar and are free next weekend drop me a PM.
Mr D and Blockhead if your still up for it
Oh yes, I have the V5/6 JDM STi I/C with the dump valve and it's pipes for sale.

It's been emotional 3 days but it's now all done. Well nearly.
The induction hose was pretty shot through
The end was almost rotted away.
It was relatively easy but I used a digital camera and a laptop to have a running record of the removal of the bits. The fuel rail was not to bad coming off but going on it's a bit of fun
.I now have a ****laod of spare coolant hoses.
The inlet manifold ws a bitch to clean and took 18 hours and about 6 coats of Hammerite Smooth and an undercoat of aluminium primer.
Chris, (WRX,STI) I'll call you about the Prodrive Y Pipe
The end

Looking good Ian, really need to get mine off and paint it or finish polishing the other one i started.
Pulleys are easy to do, you'll probably find u need to use an impact gun on the alternator one to get it undone

'rigster I prepped the manifold with aluminium primer.
I have now fitted the newage undertray to match the WRX top mount.
Took a bit of fiddling and fettling but managed to fabricate the brackets to hold the rubber shroud. Most oif the bit's I had lying around in the shed and some scrap alloy plate from work.
I'll post up some picks when I get home.
