    Mintys new bits

    So much for not spending any money on it eh, im a right daft ****er!

    After a boost pipe blew off and landed in a swap by East Mids airport a fortnight ago i decided id buy all new enlarged boost piping to save it from happening again as twating about at 2am in -2degrees with your sexy midriffs catchign a right draft is not fun at all! Muchos thanks to my mate Grezzler for saving mine and Titchs bacon that night!


    Anyway, swung by Auto Silicone hoses in Leeds while at work and collected two Santa sacks full



    roughly translated to



    du out loads of unused bits from the XPloit, catch tank, 0gauge cables, Magnecor leads, amp cables n stuff, speakers n alsorts



    before



    turbo to intercooler pipework, id flogged the stainless steel stuff from the Xploit so used these special order long leg elbows...



    50mm all the way through to 60mm at the intercooler...



    intercooler to throttle body pipes before



    60mm elbow with matching pipes to the throttle body






    dump valve next to the throttle body, seems more assertive in this position



    the leads



    3inch intake tube



    Removed battery and tray, batterys in the boot with this junction box in the space left



    shifted alarm out the way, oil cooler too



    after, or something to this effect after a a quick spruce too




    Also meant to show these

    Wilwood dynalites like ive only just sold on, silly me, bargain though these were







    ALso fitted Apexi AVCr
    new hedunit and speakers bla bla bla, new battery and 4wheels balanced and aligned, what a difference they made alone!

    Good work there. Where do you get all the time AND money from? For most it's one or the other! I love the car too, and probably would have bought it if I even knew it was for sale before Dan got to it

    Been off since thursday morning, usually get at least a full weekend if not a 3dayer off

    The filters pointed up a little more then i wanted and had to rush off out as i was finishing, its meant to be pointing off the the nearside though, wanted to use the stainless filter that came on the car as its abit bigger but the neck on it was too long and it was fight against the slam panel.
