Very nice. What's planned for the exhaust?

[stevenebm]

[Stoo]

But does it fit? I thought the downpipe position was now in the wrong place?

[stevenebm]

[Stoo]

Well if you need a hand just let me know, and I'll make sure I'm busy that day..

[stevenebm]

starting to get somewhere now.seems to be two steps forward one back.had to move flange on manifold to relocate turbo down a bit to suit intercooler etc.also heat wrapped it,done half it without gloves on and i swear i feel like taking a stanley to my hands as there that itchy also made my own turbo hanger.had to modify the outlet of the turbo aswell as it was hitting my gearbox.will order rest of my hoses next week.fuel line to inlet.connect exhaust,plug in management and she should be ready to fire up hopefully next week should see my fittin my rear mef gear,front rs1600i crossmember with mef front arms and adjustable arms.another 1k down the drain

[DALSY]

Thats no a turbo damper, thats a scaffolding,

lookin good Steven, very impressed, although I would have coated the manifold, to show it really off

[stevenebm]

[Stoo]

Who is setting it up?

[stevenebm]

[stevenebm]

probably mav favourite update yet.picked up my mef gear from my mate.totally different to the ones that are available now.solid bushes etc.andy said martin at mef couldnt market this type as it would have to be priced at £900.im giving it a quick pain and replacing nuts and washers to clean it up sinceim so anal about under my car

some of the parts gettin painted



more components gettin freshened up

[AGAR]

Nice update Stevie - is the kit easy enough to fit? Any new pick-up points required?

[stevenebm]

bolt straight on mate.same pick up points as wish bones and old tie bars should make a big differance along with all the front gear,

[AGAR]

Thats awesome, any ideas just how good the handling will be once the kit is on?

[stevenebm]

god knows mate.will be looking to get it all set up at sitech etc when its getting mapped.andy said his car was great on them.how you gettin on in france?

[stevenebm]

started fitting the mef stuff.really impressed with the stuff.the tie bar is so chunky.prob the best mod to the car yet

[Ade]

Looks hot!

What's the difference with that MEF gear to the usual?
