Fair play dude... you should really sell me the slips instead of using them though!
The rest of the shit is win!

loving the progress

what happened to the original splitter?

by the way, why not weld a thin sheet of steel in for the blank, max of a kg in weight and no worries about leaks caused by slamming the doors and air pressure?

Well a small update. no pics though i'm afraid.

Last night in a cold and dusty barn me and Craig set about fitting my JWT's with an oil change and mani/down and de cat. We got it all done and finished at 2am, lol. Dedication!

Only a few little niggles like. I didn't have any new gaskets so it is blowing from the mani/downpipe gasket and from both the de cat gaskets but i am picking up new ones today. Also I couldn't get one of the header bolts back on (the one underneath to the left hand side) but I am sure my buddy with his ramps will help me out with this when I use his lift to do the gaskets.

I also fitted some SR18 spark plug gasket's so that is iirc 1.5bhp each for the 4 plugs and 0.5bhp for the centre cam screw gasket. So.....................big gains!

I havn't gunned it hard yet because of the blowing but i have felt that it pulls a lot harder and the car was fully laden with parts and tools etc. So I am looking forward to when the system is all sealed up and all of the stuff is out of the boot and footwell etc.

Plus my buckets are going in tonight so another bit of weight saving there.

Will update with pics at the weekend.
