Pics look good.

I think thats the first time I've seen a pic of a car with a wheel bolts on and no tyres. It looks totally wierd. :D

Finally got a chance to do all things 4 last night here are some pics of progress...

Made a shortened stainless steel down pipe and modified the front pipe.
Image

And the twin waste gate set up looks odd in pics but its much neater and compact in real time, i did contemplate venting the 2 flaming nostrels out the turbo/mani grill in the bonnet, effect would be good but cleaning soot spots off the roof wouldnt be lol
Image
Image
inter-cooler piping next.

Looks like quality work. How are you going to route the wastegate pipework, into the downpipe or external flaming nostrils? :lol:

the volks alloys are freaking retro cool, go back to the old colour scheme, they will be brilliant

Hi Don i could rotate the gates and join straight in on the down slope of the down pipe, didnt really want to go atmos anyway,plus this is just proofing to start with. need to move on to the braking system next, but need to fab up some one offs to create some revenue first, just need adrian to knock up
some 3Dcad drawings mainly for the back end based on your pics of the TTE car. plus we have come up with some solid ideas for those running super strut
to be able to plug and play all sorts of dampers....

Sounds intriguing! If Adrian is a whiz on 3D CAD it would be nice to draw up the TTE tubular rear subframe and incorporate a choice of suspension pickups. We have loads of photos and the homologation drawings. Just a thought?
