tangcla > No worries mate, as and when

sikx5 > I've got some old shots of the outside, but could do with some new ones as it's now sitting a little lower on it's Eibach springs. Will get them sorted when I get a chance to clean it

The radiator is a Pace ali one, does the job nicely

stevenb > The matts are Autostyle ones, not the cheapest, but once again they are great and have been in the car for two years thus far - clean up like new

Wanna trade your strutbrace for a stock CS airbox? (Or do you know where to get them in Europe?)

Very nice!

DIV > Cheers mate :p

robbiemcvee > *lol* Well, one might say it's 'spanking'

Also thought it was about time I showed a pic of the new chargecooler which has been sat on the side waiting to go in for a while. Mark Cooper, the guy who works for Red Bull Racing, sorted it for me. All stripped down and the top mirror polished, lagged in two layer F1 developed gold sheeting, top plate made up in carbon fibre, mounted off the surface to help draw heat out, and topped off with my No Monkey Business logo in gemstone metalic vinyl for that spangly look before the carbon fibre was lacquered. To say I'm chuffed with it is an understatement, and once all the bling is sorted for the engine bay it'll definately be pride of place. Also had various brackets from around the alternator plated, and got the alternator off being chromed and refurbed as we speak



So, going to stick with the CC, but will probably upgrade the pre-rad to help keep things cooler, might have to look out for a Metro engine rad as it seems a popular choice, plus a swirl pot!

Bling bling Mook. Thats very impressive. I must get some of that gold sheet. Is the carbon top panel just stuck on over the top of the celica named panel?

Cheers

Steve

did the lagging/polishing make any difference to performance?

stephenb > The original top panel was removed and this was put in it's place

tangcla > I had some lagging on my original cc and it did feel better. I think people have checked temps before and after lagging and found that it does make a difference and is definately worth doing

ohhh I still think I'm leaning towards FMIC.... easier to get power out of it seems!

Can undoubtedly use an fmic for big power, but I'm not aiming too high, around 350 or so when all done. I think a sorted chargecooler will cope with that, and of course should keep the spool up times to a minimum
