As some of you know I had to have my engine rebuilt.

Tim sent me a little present which I received yesterday.

Here are a couple of photos of what he posted to me.

Tim at TB Developments took photos of the various stages and I have posted them below for you to view.

Great work by Tim, get in touch if you need anything doing.

I'd forgotten how massive the OEM cast collector, downpipe and cat were! You don't really notice when its all in the car.

Think thats bad how do you think i felt after it fell on me while i was dropping the engine out. hate spiders and it almost hit me in the face. serious "tools down run about like a big girl moment" lol

did look into this and apparently its called a huntsman spider which is very common in Japan. just eats bugs and not harmful to humans but they are know to grow upto 12" span leg to leg. B**locks to that lol

Huntsman spiders are our friends despite looking scary. Very common in Oz and they eat all the mozzies and other nasties :)

Is that turbo heat shield powder coated? How does it hold up after some heat cycles?

decided to do a couple of little jobs on the car, move my boost controller and parrot hands free kit and then decided to give a little clean,

anyway, thought I would take a few photos when I finished.
