Happy days then. Ill leave it be.

Ive got loads of bits to put on the car that ive been collecting. Going to fit them all in one go.

Turbo elbow and a tubular manifold thats on its way. I was going to go external gated but if i ever want to go on a track the noise police will stop me.

Ive got the 4-pots, getting some discs sorted hopefully soon, then i just need pipes and pads.

Got a Cat 2 immobiliser aswell to go on smile

Going to have to paint the Advans soon aswell as my current wheels probably wont fit over 4 pots.

Ive got 17's all round now but i dont think theyll fit. Ive got the adavns and they should fit fine, plenty of space behind them.

Pop round to the garage on thursday matey and try them on my car.

Depending on how far the wheels sit in you can get standard facelift alloys on over your 4 pots matey its very very close though

After dropping Tony off tonight i was heading off to some mates and decided to give it death. After that theres a gasket blowing somewhere after the Turbo.

Good job ive just gotten hold of a tubular manifold. Got a turbo elbow aswell ready to fit. New gaskets all round and better spool up smile

To be honest i thought it was blowing alittle on the motorway but the flames comming out the back and the women giving you the Grrr sign when you turned round from droping me off may have helped LOL

Try and get you hand around the area before it gets too hot, and see if you can feel where the blowing is coming from smile

Turbo off isnt a big job smile
