The best new pics are in the gallery ^^^^, I've attached another couple in here. The piping looks amazing, all the welds are very well done.

Basically at this stage they just need to do the tuning and everything will be all done :D I might even have it back this weekend.

shot bro, looking good!!

[Gly]

bout bloodly time you got it back?? has the wof/rego expired yet?

[bradc]

The wof will have expired in the last few days, Gary is going to do the wof for me, as well as an oil change for me because it has taken so long.

It does look good though :D

[You See]

Looks good man....Think I'm gonna have to "borrow" your piping! :P

[bradc]

Thats highly unlikely! BTW I was talking to Glenn today and he said that they have found a really nice twin scroll for you

[mpau009]

Looks awesome:2thumbsup :pimp2:

Have they made any progess on the airbox? I'm still keen to see it (how do the pods sit with the piping that close?).

I think we'll definately need to have a club meet/run when it finally gets rolling:thinking: :afro:

[WildCards]

Looking good Brad :thumbsup:

[bradc]

mpau, they are only going with a single airfilter unfortunately. I did want two, but short of moving the fuse box there was no way that was going to happen! We definately need to have a meet soon as well.

Steve, I bet the person who did the piping didn't have a broke wrist :)

[zentac]

nice - does that mean I will be getting my bits soon ;)

[BraindG]

That looks fantastic Brad!.. get some daylight ones though :p

[bradc]

Zentac, hopefully soon! You can see the ecu's there, as you know the stock trans and engine ecu's are staying. The Autronic will control everything, the stock engine ecu is there just to send info to the transmission ecu.

Barry, it was daylight, just a little dark in the corner of the workshop the car was in, the bonnet was blocking all the light :) I'll have it back soon anyway, so I'll take more pics then.

[ShadyNZer]

starting to love that bonnet...

[i3ooyah]

what happened to those turbos you were getting?

ps. its lookin damn pro...i like

[You See]

Saw this earlier today, and I must say :2thumbsup

[bradc]

Shady - thanks I like it, the curves look a lot better than the in your face evo style ones IMHO

Booyah - haven't got around to the turbos yet, that will be next year.

Uc - did you give Glen the usb cables? I think I'll go down there tomorrow to check he is hooking it up right :)

[You See]

Yeah he's got them....and yeah, he mentioned that you were gonna pop down tomorrow morning.
I'll email you the other goss! ;)

[bradc]

cool

[ShadyNZer]

Shady - thanks I like it, the curves look a lot better than the in your face evo style ones IMHO
especially the cheap ones like mine...might chuck my old one back on one day when i can be assed...

[bradc]

Mine wasn't too expensive either, about $750.

[ShadyNZer]

bout 2 hundy more expensive than mine....

man so keen to move my battery to the back and get an air induction setup like that or whatever

[bradc]

You won't quite be able to do the same as me, my MAF has been removed, so your one will need to be a little bit differant to my setup

[Gly]

so whats the story?

you ever getting this car back?

[d i c k i e s]

hahaha... good things take time. so it must be a good thing. or is it?

[bradc]

It's a manual facelift with Recaro's, Brembo's, Momo wheel, Sunroof, you've seen the engine bay and the exhaust, of course it's a good thing :D

[Gly]

how much of the original Y did they use?

got any better/newer daylight pics?

[bradc]

basically all of the Y pipe was used because they looked at the size of the turbo outlet and decided there was no point changing it.

no better pics, all of them have been taken with the car in the workshop.

[Gly]

so they just gave it a polish then?

so you know if its mild steal or stainless under all the paint...

what cooler size did they use? 2.5" or 3" inlets?
and what type? (tube & finn or bar & plate?)

[bradc]

I'd imagine it is mild steel, not sure about the intercooler, but I think it has 3" outlets
