crazycage :bin the flexy hose from your turbo to your filter mate , a friend of mine did the same and on boost the turbo sucked it into the compressor :x cost him a new gt35.
make a ally one or steel ect

done some work on the car today..started sorting the loom out which i had been putting off :rolleyes: i dont want any wires visible in the engine bay so the main part of the loom is going down the inner wing.

so,wing off....

Image

Image

i enlarged the hole where the wiring for the side repeater goes through and run the loom through and down the wing...

Image

Image

and all the wires come out where the indicator is ...

Image


Image

also i made a peanel for the fuse box to mount to as the dash was cut down a bit too much :lol:

Image

also wired wired up some shift lights..


Image

bought a fuel pump mount but need to make a mount for that so it fits the floor :lol:

Image

oh a pick just for jay :lol: :lol:
