lui Posted October 2, 2008 Author Share Posted October 2, 2008 Nice one Lui, the car had pretty much everything needed for a single conversion anyway so it seems like a natural move after the hybrids went pop. Good luck with it Your right there mate basically all I needed to get was PHR Street Single kit / set 650 injectors & oil cooler & just few minor bits & bobs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lui Posted October 2, 2008 Author Share Posted October 2, 2008 (edited) Just called Joe at PHR 10 mins ago & kit has been all posted & on it's way here to me will hopefully have it delivered to me tomorrow or Monday not bad super fast service as I only ordered it on Tuesday. Faster service than ordering something over here. Edited October 2, 2008 by lui (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope it all goes well, is it going to be back in time for Suprapod? Car will be ready by end of this month but as for Suprapod as said before soooooooooooooo gutted will not be able to make this one as going on pre-booked long weekend suprise holiday to Spain same weekend & not worth the aftermath hassle on trying to get out of this one. But next year this mistake will never happen100% for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul mac Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 as Wez has stated the Fluidyne cooler is not going to be man enough on its own, IMO they really are a waste of time and i cant understand why they have become so popular, are you running it with the stock radiator connection or on its own ?

lui Posted October 5, 2008 Author Share Posted October 5, 2008 (edited) Just got back from weekend away only to find missed out on big parcel trying to be delivered to me on Saturday. Know what I'm doing first thing tomorrow straight down to collection depot to collect feels like nice present from USA hopefully, now felling like Christmas come early hopefully it's my PHR Street Single Kit & few other bits & pieces touch wood will be adding good few pic's of kit up tomorrow night Edited October 5, 2008 by lui (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Glad to hear the bits have arrived. I would wrap your down pipe, even if it is heat coated, it is going to get very hot and will radiate heat to everything in that area, so the extra insulation will help keep the heat in until the pipe goes under the car.

imi Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 I would wrap your down pipe, even if it is heat coated any danger of it cracking? What about other bits like the manifold etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
