Just bought this front fibreglass bumper, its a 6n top half with the facelift 6n2 lower half grafted to it. Will get it fitted and painted when its home. Should save a couple of kg's and looks a bit s

PROGRESS: Oil change to 10w-60 fully synth........Still no Re-map though but has been up with RaceTech 2 weeks now so can't be far off, some pics i took the other day               

Just got some pictures through of the fibreglass doors. Looking sweeeeet

Cheers for the comments lads, ye it was a tight squeeze getting it in haha, also the sump was ridiculously low to the ground when the car was lowered so i had to higher it which isn't how i want it but is safe. i think i could put an R32 sump and pump on for an extra 2" clearance, so ive been told anyway.

Nice' date=' bet thats fun to drive.

Is it running standard compression as i would have expected a bit more power and more torque than that ?

Probably about right for 6 or 7psi though? Most of people on here are 15 or more lol

Out of interest, what boost is it running?

Very nice too by the way, imagine its pretty fun with some of the new BMW and Audi drivers!

So a little update,

Put 9j rims on the front and had it re-mapped. It made 282bhp but when i went down the strip at santa pod i only ran a 15 second so took drastic action.

First i stripped it, put a fibreglass seat in and perspex windows and sun roof

I then made a fibreglass bonnet (and im on with making a fibreglass tailgate at the minute)

Then bought this Garrett GT35R turbo. Dual Bearing. The a/r of the turbo is 70, so the spool time is quite quick, oil lubed and water cooled, the inlet of the turbo is polished which is an optional extra when buying from Garrett.

Just on with getting everything fitted and up and running now

Finally got them on and guess what, I've only gone and cross threaded the brake hose into the caliper. It only went a few thread then stopped and i though oh no. Took the caliper off and the first 2 threads are knackered. Unsure what to do now. A pic of them fitted though. They look bigger in person. That's what they all say lol.

Took it down to my local engineering company and they've re-tapped it for me, all is well luckily. A Helicoil would have been my next option lol. The calipers a complete unit as well unfortunately.

I'm also still waiting on my fibre glass tailgate from the paint shop, I'm dying to see it finished and painted so i can get it fitted. Ill get some pics up as and when i get it back. Cheers
