Just about finished the wiring on the front end

Still needs taping up properly but was getting late last night

Nicely tucked out the way

There is one wire I'm unsure what to do with which you can see in the picture above, it's one cable with 3 wires inside and I'm unsure how to lengthen it out but a quick chat to a friend who is an electrician and I'll be complete

Got a bit done over the weekend as I had it off work :-)

Finished of the extending of the loom and taped it up

DSC_0386.jpgDSC_0387.jpgDSC_0388.jpgDSC_0389.jpgDSC_0391.jpg

Ordered some p clips to hold the loom out the way so it doesn't rub on anything

Oil return flange came so bolted her up, also needed a quick flatten down near the bolts to make fit

Abs delete I bought a while ago

Hmm what going on here

DSC_0396.jpg

The lip was a bit to wide and was catching slightly on ny tyre

Sorted

Also started to strip my brakes, new grooved discs coming

I've also bought a fair few turbo bits, I.e fittings for the oil and water so updates when I receive them :-)

So the clutch had come

It's a exedy hyper single plate clutch

It is used but should get me going as they are rated to 400-450bhp and I payed less than what the flywheel alone would cost :-)

Also had a ticket through the post from royal mail, item doesn't fit in the letter box but I've only bought one big item so hopefully it's my downpipe :-D

... No it wasn't my downpipe :-(

It was infact a pack of p clips that they thought would go through the letterbox or be handed to a neighbour, not impressed

I got my turbo fittings on

Fitted my rear grooved discs

The front

DSC_0429_1.jpg

The finish isn't brilliant as the calipers and carriers were corroded but it's better than they was, not sure on the wheels nuts, it was the other half's idea so I Did it to keep her involved but I'm not sure if it looks a bit tacky.. Any thoughts??

Had an hour in the garage last night and sorted my loom with the p clips I bought

Doesn't look the best but it shouldn't be that visible when my bumper is on and I was a bit generous with the size of the p clips but atleast the loom won't rub :-)

My 90 degree bend for the oil feed came also

DSC_0441_1.jpg

And I picked up the tial bov from Mr Bridgett Monday, pleasure as always

DSC_0435.jpg

DSC_0440_1.jpg

I may or may not use this bov tho as I would prefer a black one but it's in new condition, no scratches and the price was right so it was a no brainer :-)

News ln my downpipe also... It was in the clearance department of customs on Monday so hopefully when I check the tracking number again it will have been collected to be delivered :-D fingers crossed

And.... Bad news :-(

I bought a 3" downpipe, the actually pipe itself is 3" but for some reason they put a 2.5" flange so it doesn't fit.

I have messaged the company I got it from to see what can be done, hopefully I get some cash back and I'll get someone local to weld a 3" flange on but what a piss take, takes nearly 2 months to arrive on my doorstep and £300 later and it's still not right :-(

Also radiator is back out and marked up ready for my water return

DSC_0480_1.jpg

Front water bung removed ready for a hole drilled in the middle and a m10 thread put in so I can buy a m10x1.5 to an6 fitting for my water feed
