So had a productive day and got the AC out & fitted my front mount and short route filter. Took me a fair bit but with the hand of a neighbour work sped up abit (word to the wise don't try fit an intercooler on your own with the car on the ground lol).

So AC wasn't a massive job like a thought thanks to the wiki guide 👍 then got round to taking everything off.

Unfortunately I had to hack one side of my bumper because of the position of the pipes & cooler hinges 😞 but didn't get any pics as frustration settled in & was just happy to get it back together.

Got to say I absolutely love the chatter and boost seems to come in a tad earlier now so win win all around!

Next is to freshen the bay up as it looks likes utter shite and renew the ignition side of things. Fingers crossed still plenty of time to get done before japfest. Sorry for blabbing on boys and girls! 😄

So progress is been slow and depressing funds are tied up in ways I don't like.

Attended a localish meet and bumped into fellow starlet man dan. Love the pic the mods took.

The depressing news is could hear a wierd blow from under bonnet, checked all my cooler piping and filter everything seemed tight and sealed so brain started working and I took off the heat shield and there we go nice crack staring right at me on the predictable effing third runner!

So on hunt for a mani but seem to have found a toyo one (I know what you gonna say! Shite) but kid (who is on here) assures me it's been strengthened and he ran it for ages fine before going td04.

Too cheer myself up I got my livesports eyelids on the car and I love the new look.
