underneath the heat shield at the back is a relentless manifold ceramic coated. I had to cover it after ragging the car for a bit it was glowing cherry red and was staring to melt the washer jet pipes and damage the paint. The picture is fairly recent but has changed a bit since, its running almost how it should be after months of experimentation. I shall be tidying up the engine bay and fitting custom made pipework. There's a bigger intercooler in the slam panel I had to cut the panel a little to accommodate the fans. Because of how close the Rad is to the intercooler it was suffering from heat-soak on hot days so i put a thin vented heat shield between the two. The Rad is stepped back as far as it will go and the fans blow in the front of the intercooler and two fans suck air on the back of the Rad' with air feeds into the space inbetween rad and intercooler. Also I'm in the process of sectioning off the air filter and cold feeds to that also All the extra fans, double din head unit, amp etc was taxing the charging system so the alternator is now upgraded to 220 amps The gearbox is an 02j EBF (diesel box) and is much much more comfortable on a motorway now, actually its 2nd one as the first disintegrated 6 months after i put the new engine and turbo in and got a bit heavy right footed with it. It destroyed 2 cv joints also (both the short drive shaft inner cv joint) It is faster car now, the throttle pedal almost feels hard when you press it(its not harder of course its DBW)just it feels like only a smaller movement is needed now to make it react a lot more. Ive driven a Subaru Imprezza P1 before the Rado in the dry feels as quick as that. After a near miss with a mobile gatso I purchased an Aguri laser and radar detector, although I dont advocate speeding or reckless driving :-) Ill put some more pic's up another time

Its getting there. I must admit there was some wiring issues that made it run awkwardly when i first got it over boosting limp mode cutting out while hot, and not restarting for a while The first ECU crapped out after a short to ground somewhere it wouldn't run the injectors properly after that and never worked again properly. The MAF wiring was not at it best it looked as if someone had spliced the loom somewhere in an attempt to fault find. Its about 90% how i want it, the wheels need a refurb and it'll need a blowover at least. I'm looking to refurb' the rear beam get it powder coated and stiffen it up with antiroll bar polybush's etc. The 4 pots at the front with 300mm discs are much better, the G60 set up was good, but I Baked them more than once on a track day, brake fade scares the **** out of me so out they came. It still has issues with over heating its a very cramped engine bay now and 1.8t's I've known always run very hot. This is being addressed by experimenting with extra ducting If I cant find a Carbon bonnet I've already got a late shape one Ill put extra discrete vents on it and fit that. If I could source a stronger or reinforced front engine and gearbox bracket than the G60 one I be more at ease as I've broken 2 of these before on a different car with extra horses, the engine then rocks about, in this car it would probably damage the Rad' and this would be the difference between either limping home or calling out the AA.... again. It is a diffrent car to when I acquired it, the then owner was going to break it up (he was more into bikes) It looked like it had sat for a while. It will be a pretty rapid car when all sorted, but saying that I've already broken 2 inner CV joints (Near Side short drive shaft both times, the cage broke apart) so ill probably have to find stronger CV joints Hats off to you Foster for the work and love you put into this car, Ill sort some photos soon

Does anyone know what fog lights this custom job comes from or more details about this car? [ATTACH=CONFIG]82369[/ATTACH]

I own it now I saved it from being broken up 18 months ago from a guy who owned it Chatham. Nothings really changed on the car apart from Ive fitted a double din head unit and modified the dash, and its got a Cat1 alarm and immobilizer and a 17" team dynamics wheels in black. I have no plans to sell it at the moment actually I'm planning a bigger turbo install and 02j diesel gearbox the current 02j ratios are far to low, and a set of Porsche front brakes. Its in v good shape for a 20+ year old apart from rust around the top of the windscreen. Thats being sorted soon and looking into getting rid of the sunroof and having a carbon roof fitted. The sunroof has failed twice and leaks. Ive been stopped and offered money for the car on the spot more than once
