:lol:

Where's the fashion police :lol:

Perfect fit Dave :ok:

Used measurements from manufacturer and the size ordered is spot on. Was surprised how well actually considering I have very wide distorted hands across my knuckles...(too many years breaking them against "things") :lol:

But got to say they are very comfy - tight, and secure...

They haven't quite caught up to me yet pmsl :lol:

I have a set of sparco boots - the are the most comfortable shoes I own. Really good to drive in. Never gone down the glove route.

Only went glove route as my Momo steering wheel has no texture left on the grips and is worn shiny - it really is quite slippery...

Agreed about the shoes though - they looked very narrow, yet once on, felt very very comfy... :ok:

Any more parcels expected today :norty:

Don't think so - turbo is due Monday or Tuesday I believe :ok:

Well a small update.

My turbo was due for delivery Monday this week................then tues.................then guaranteed Weds.................Then cleared from customs and out for delivery to SC today..............then might be with them tomorrow......................... :whistle::whistle:

Remember it is a snail after all, they always take their time getting to the places they need to be!

But this is meant to be a bigger snail and quicker :lol: :lol:

Heavier, slower and full of wind...

No not me mate I meant the turbo ;-) :lol:

:rofl:

Box arrived today.....

shiny new turbo goodness :D

Bling bling tuuuuuurrrrbbbboooooo .

Well thought I would have a measure up for the induction kit today - didn't get very far as I think I def need to sort my hoses out otherwise I may have a problem installing...

http://www.southeastscoobies.co.uk/v...psyysmcgsi.jpg

As I didn't get very far I thought I had better look at the other issue - my belt cover rubbing on the hose.

Quick measure up and rough cutting sketch...

http://www.southeastscoobies.co.uk/v...psalbjxfio.jpg

Has left a fair indent in the hose but hasn't split or gone through any layers...also looks a bit squished against all the other pipes...

Quick trim up with the dremmel and it ain't perfect but does the job...

The joys of modifying cars :wink: but will be worth it in the end :-)

Trim your blue maf hose to suit new new induction kit .

Yeah that's prob what will do but will leave that to Richard as knowing me I will c8ck it up pmsl!

Cleaning is about my limit! Ha ha

Put the jubilee clip where you want to cut and use a Stanley knife against the metal clip to give a nice tidy cut. But make sure the clip buckle is at the bottom as this will cause the blade to deviate, so best left out of sight.

Cheers for the tip Scott :ok:

I'd wait before cutting anything, until you've got the FMIC kit installed, you won't know 100% where it's going otherwise. Different kits have different pipe runs. I've still got that spare bit of silicon here also for help ;)

He never mention FMIC so whos having the balls to cutting youre front bumper up Ryan :grin:

Yeah no front Mount Intercooler going on Dave - Rich didn't think it was necessary, so just induction (his recommendation over panel) and turbo going on :ok:

pmsl! :-o:-o

So after trimming the belt cover up I didn't like all the scratches and wonky lines...

Bit of sanding and spraying last night and it's come out ok...

That was freshly sprayed last night... went for a matt black so as not to bling... will post some pics up today once back on car...

Nice work :ok:

Finally got it back on the car and now the paint has dried it doesn't look too dis-similar from the original colour..

Tidy - nice job

Now youve got the bug :lol: for painting engine bay parts whats next .

Nice job, I spy dirty bits! :)

Lots of dirty bits under there - Rich is going to be mortified when he looks under there pmsl :lol:

Perhaps as he is taking bits off to fit new bits, I can clean between part changes ha ha

Clean first!
