Time to post more than just pics now as been working all day.

Huge thanks to stew at tfs racing who has mounted turbos (made manifolds, uppipes, downpipes, etc).

Looking forward to seeing car in metal tomorrow and sorting out a few other bits and taking more pics :)

Having done a bit of welding can I ask if the cage was mig welded and the manifold tig welded? Looks a very good/neat job:ok:

2-jaffacake-tone 10-02-2011 10:34 PM

Looking good mate :)


Manafold is tig welded as it's alloy, very neat welding there!

Jolly Green Monster 11-02-2011 09:41 PM
