Guest Enzo Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 minted!wiring looks daunting though, you should weigh the left over crap that you have trimmed out of the loom Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shorty Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Yea stripping down the loom is a tad hectic, grants fearless at stripping out and is a mechanic by trade so he dosnt get phased by much tbh, and im a sparky so wires dont bother me to much either. You would be suprised at how much is redundant in the looms, theres been loads come out so far, we will have to weigh it when we are done.@grant, i wouldnt worry about your mrs staying happy, im fairly convinced she thinks we are having an affair as is my mrs lol what with all the time we spend to gether on the various project cars lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

turbo Grant Posted August 9, 2011 Author Share Posted August 9, 2011 Fitted the inter cooler after work. I got the bumper bar in the right place purely on luck lol offered the bar up after I welded the brackets on. But it's turned out sweet sits spot on. I'm going to box round the inter cooler to the bumper so the air can only go throw the cooler more picsYou may have noticed I'm fitting a bolt in alloy slam panel And ther is room for camping Russell Quote Link to post Share on other sites

turbo Grant Posted August 9, 2011 Author Share Posted August 9, 2011 I'm only going to need to box round the sides and bottom of the front mount the top will only need a bit of stick on foam. And as for turbo. Got a mint rebuil and balanced td04 that I'm going to put for now.....just wind the boost right up and see what happens Quote Link to post Share on other sites
