Don't worry Steve, I'm all ok now, modding bug returned! Removing that turbo kit and getting it back to stock was quite involved, should have set up a comedy garage cam quite chuffed I did it myself though, I normally just send it packing but I wanted to ensure I saw how it all came off, and cleaned it all nicely along the way...

Will be in touch for some ultimate suspension / handling advice

 

Nice manifold, I feel guilty

Another holiday souvenir or ordered from Sumo? In which case how did they get it so quickly? Perhaps you've bought the one I ordered a in March 2010.

I've lost track of what you've kept from the original Moonrock NA car an what else you've sold. Thought you had a Mugen exhaust in your stock cupboard, what about the wheels do you still have the CE28 in your signature.

Have you considered Nitrons?

 

This one is much better than the one I ordered from Sumo Power, it's shinier and made by Japanese virgins or something

Their price for the manifold is just crazy now (£1800 I think!) so I got this imported from the US by N1 concepts (site sponsor) they are getting me some other bits and are great to deal with. Arrived in 1 week from order GOTuning are the other company I use, Tommy is a good chap.

Exhaust wise I will probably going for a single for weight saving! Sold the Mugen a while back, along with the Rays wheels

Nitrons are high up the list too!

 

You can buy Tein monoflex suspension off me if you like, £950

I agree with your comments about Tommy and Go Tuning; top people to do business with.

 

Pass

Who did you go to for your wheels, Haroon?

 

Bought my wheels from used from Ads2k, one was fecked as per my avatar pic so I had to get a brand new replacement direct from Prodrive for £700

Touge have a special offer on at the moment, you can get up to £250 off a set of Rays or other quality rims if you trade in a set of "copy" rims. I would send Dom (US_NFR) a PM as he may able to help you with sourcing a set of rims from the States

 

I imported a J's manifold into the UK recently it was just under GBP1000 shipped, you should of asked

Unfortunately as per ninebolts experience, they seem to be on back order all the time....

 

Looking good MB

Im glad your enjoying your tinkering again!

btw what happened to the crossbeam in front of the engine?

and silly question time- what does a filter stopper do/how does it work?

 

Looks good mark.

 

Thanks Loon

Mugen, I got this for under £1k too, just!

Raz, the crossbeam gets "altered" to fit the turbo. The filter stopper clamps onto the filter, and then bolts to the chassis to stop it rotating. I've seen too many of them vibrate loose and always wanted to get one!



Thanks Moto
