Ricky49 Posted November 19, 2010 Author Share Posted November 19, 2010 Its 1.00 A/R, I went for the SP as the intercooler side is 2.5'' and I couldnt be bothered messing with the IC pipework until I go bigger next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricky49 Posted November 21, 2010 Author Share Posted November 21, 2010 (edited) Been over at SRD today and what progress Lee has done since I last saw the car last week. I was caught taking some pics by lee and had to swear on the SRD oath that I wouldnt post them as lee has a running step by step collection. Saw some nice polished items and looking forward to them going on. Edited November 21, 2010 by Ricky49 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricky49 Posted November 25, 2010 Author Share Posted November 25, 2010 Cheers Geo. Yep his keeps to a high standard, hopefully he should be posting an album of pics soon. He sent me a pick of the turbo it must of been after you left, very shiney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Hey mate You are going to be very impressed mate i had a sneak yesterday .... that is a shiney arsed turbo and the new SRD plate on the plenum looks spot on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky49 Posted November 26, 2010 Author Share Posted November 26, 2010 Cheers Jamesy, I asked Lee to do the SRD plate on the intake manifold just to be a bit different, I like it it's come out well. The turbo looks very shiney in the pic he set me. Im going over this Sunday so looking forward to the progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 yeah the turbo setup looks really nice and shiney, the heat sheild looks great also, in fact come to think about it, the turbo/manifold side looks great. iv asked lee to do my manifold likes yours bud, the black heat wrap with sealant over it, looks brilliant. Told you id steal an idea of yours ha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky49 Posted November 26, 2010 Author Share Posted November 26, 2010 Thanks Geo. I'm happy to share some of my ideas and if other people use them then I must of come up with a good one for once. Just waiting for the intake to arrive from PHR, the uprated coil packs and we are nearly there. I dropped the black carpet off to Lee last week so the new audio setup and carpet could be in now. I'm going to order a boost gauge from Whifbitz to match the ones I already have but this won't be going in until next year as it's a 6-8wk wait on it.

Ricky49 Posted November 26, 2010 Author Share Posted November 26, 2010 Are you about Sunday, I could bring them wheels if you are. Right spent a few more pennies today and ordered an Apexi boost gauge to match my others and the Superspark coil pack. About 6wks for the gauge so that will be getting fitted next year.

Bailey. Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Any ideas on completion date yet ricky? any more pics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky49 Posted November 26, 2010 Author Share Posted November 26, 2010 Lee is the one doing the pics matey. I'm banned from going new the car with a camera. He should be posting a step by step build with pics but I will give him a kick this Sunday just to remind him. Should be a couple of weeks but I know Ryans busy so whenever he is free to arrange mapping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
