Powwerrrr

Done anything to it Kurt?

 

[GTi kurt]

A battery and a starter motor. No intention of modifying it. Although I'd be intrigued to see what it would be like stripped to death, on coilovers and on a track. But M3s are getting so cheap....there's no point!

Where's that S&S trophy, can we just give it to Dale now?

 

[Sam]

Fuck. Yeah.

Looks good. How have you mounted the battery tray ? Looks like the standard one

 

[Spook]

That's the one.

Dale what's the hose joiner you've used there that looks flexible? Or more, where did you get it from?

 

[Dale]

Its a rubber joiner that i was sent by mistake when i was selling intake pipes before. Cant remember the sellers name.
Silicone hump hose no good?

Here is todays final bay shot, its wrinkle effect red VHT paint.

Yeah, Its just turned around and bolted to the gearbox mount bracket. Needs a little modification if you want to use all of the fixing points though. Seems sturdy enough with just two bolts tbh.
