nice looking car. could do with a drop though?

Have always loved those alloys. Nice car. Know what you mean on the suspension, but we raised my wifes mini up to make it a better every day driver.

I agree with Rob on this one!

Could you do me a favor though? take some more pictures of the sunroof, especially the inside?

It looks like a nice tidy car. You need to work on the under bonnet area though, it's a bit of a tip

I agree it needs lowering slightly, in real life the front end looks lower than oin the pics, its the rear that needs dropping to the same height

Yes under the bonnet is a mess, to many wires, needs a god clean and tidy up,

and yes ill get a few more pictures of the roof for you

Cheers Ben. Needs a cooler too!

I'm looking into intercoolers as we speak, trying to get some ideas together, am I right in thinking one pipe goes from one side of the cooler to the turbo, and one to the plenum chamber? Or is there a lot more to it than that?

That's it. The cooler just needs to be in the airflow and try and keep sharp bends down to a minimum

Lenght too

Rusty by nature

thanks guys, been a real help, so were aiming for nice flowing pipes to flow air beter/more efficently?

That is a gorgous greeny blue colour, is it a pearlescent? looks really nice,

is that a k&n? looks like you could give it a service with a k&n service kit and new oil it will bring it up red again too :)

I thought it looked like the standard Brittish Open Classic colour?

Yes its british racing green, and not sure what it is, says k&n on it but don't think its a genuine one :)

ooohh shiny bits, so you going to move your air filter and mount the IC up front?

Yes the air filter is now at the back in between the fuel pressure regulator and the radiator, ignition coil is now mounted lower down and the intercooler is being mounted at the front :)

thought i would do an update, got my plenum chamber back from jon flanigan (giallofly) a very good service, would reccomend, a top bloke









i then got myself a bleed valve to control boost levels.





engine bay picture





then got myself a fibreglass bonnet, and i got the drill out and drilled some holes for good airflow the the intercooler... just needs the mesh on the back and needs spraying.







i used the car for a bit like that, so i got myself a minispares alloy 2 core radiator ...





and heres how the car stood last week, waiting for its head to come back from ''BENROSS HQ''...




on sunday i gave the engine bay a real good clean and tidy up, managed to remove a load of wiring that i didnt need and then taped the remaining wires together, looks so much neater, just needs a new fresh bits to finish it off.
