The only thing i have left to do before bolting the dash in is put the bend across the main part where the top rail used to be.

Damn, and there was my thinking you were building it like a tank, with tiny windows to look out.

My backbox arrived. and its amazingly tiny. This is awesome because as long as it silences well its a good universal silencer ready for welding up. And for £50 delivered well worth it!

I first cut and welded up a nice angle so the backbox wasn't going straight back about 25-30' is all. Then tig welded that on. After that was sorted i decided to have the exhaust coming out the side rather than out the back. I think it looks pretty cool. Once i have cut a hole in the rear valance for it to sit i will then give it a cut probably a slight slash to the rear end.

The tail pipe side of this was made with food grade stainless steel. So should withstand the weather quite nicely Its weighty but well worth it. All im hoping for is it will sound as cool as it looks .














I need to sort my digi cam out, the phone takes suck ass pics.

[mighty_mini]

Mappings done, what a palava!!!!


problems ive been having all along was because the fuel reg was seized and was only making 5psi of pressure. doh. Its done now and finished mapping today, its made 118hp@wheels.

dont know fly figure but guess its nearing 140hp.


Pops and bangs mega, and sounds absolutely amazing. Not bad for a stock engine with throttle bodies. 30hp increase over standard
