Cool get some pics up when you've fitted it ... have a look for some waterproof overalls I've got a set works wonders in this weather working outside on the car, fairly cheap on ebay too

update its running...
so got out saturday with jamie more sickies from gfs and loaded with energy drink and fitted new rocker cover gasket as old one was leaking and freshly powdercoated rocker then on went lexmaul and water and oil then heard water dripping only to look underneath to a puddle of antifreeze tightened up jubilee on pipe down back of engine and was still leaking so decided pipe must have had split so went local scrappys and got another and stopped for bait had awsome toasties cheese and peparami's fuelled us for joabs so fitted pipe and looks good, it was time to start it and see what would happen it was starting then cutting out straight away so after much head scratching saw that when starting fuel was pishing out bleed bit on end of fuel rail so back off with inlet and took fuel rail off c16xe inlet and swapped them round so to try again with starting it and its running woooo! it was getting on so still have exhaust and coilovers to fit next time i go out got some pics of how it looks now still needs bay cleaned up abit with degreaser etc..
jamie getting soaked scopping pipe..
the bay still in need of clean..

Went out to fit exhaust and realised the gsi de-cat pipe is diffrent shape with fitting the 4-1 manifold so now needing a sport de-cat pipe before exhaust can be fitted. Which i have just ordered on my lunch break a piper 2" de-cat and also ordered some bosch super 4 plugs so now to wait on post man after realising exhaust was diffrent we thought we would try start it again make sure it was running good and it wasnt it was idling at 3k revs so decided there was an air leek somewhere after taking bits off etc its now idling perfect. So just a wait on postman then can get it off axel stands and hopefully salt will disapear and can re-tax it and get it back out

Hi just a small update, not had chance get videos taken but will get that done soon so since last update i have fitted coilovers got a set cheap off a mate and make the car look better as it was bit high at the front before got some pics 
also won some mudflaps on ebay they make it look alot better
this next update im sure a few of u wont like but then u might i decided to strip the rear out but have taken it all out carefully so if need be i change my mind i can re-fit it
then u pic of it stripped and mudflaps fitted and gave it a wash as there was lots of dust from it sitting in storage since end of september
also got tracking done jamie giving it big scopes..
and a pic of how it sits now althou its a bit dark gives u an idea
thats it for now mot is due this month and going to tax it in april so should be out then little things left to do now until then sourcing jacking covers as all 4 are missing i have 2 fronts now but need painting and just ordered a set of toyo t1r 45 profile tyres yesterday so should be sitting nice any comments welcome
