cheers gents, dunno how or where we're gonna fit it yet, that'll be an experiment with silicone i think!!!! yeah, i do actually need a working boost controller, but not anytime soon i dont. and i aint changing the exhaust, damn thing cost me £260 for the custom centre, and it only saw the road for like a month!!!!!!!!!!! I have one more part en route courtesy of Mr Socks and his Bid JDM prowess, and all i need for gauges is a matching oil pressure gauge and it's more or less small trinkets after that. someday in the far future i'd like a cage for it, however, I have had an offer accepted on a house this week and a mortgage agreed in principle, so from here on it's a case of using the existing parts to get her sorted. tbh she doesnt really NEED anything anyway, i have everything i need to make her do what i want. so there will be less buying of gauges and braces, and more buying of lamps, and rugs, and curtains etc. however, i did search for a house with a garage, which i have got, so she will have a nice warm and dry home in a garage rather than a shed! Phil.
