Acidburn Will try and dig it out for you

In the interim another little update

Went to pick up my rear seats and front seat cushions from the local trimmers http://www.carinteriors.net/ , now with matching black alcantara inserts to match the doorcards. To keep costs down we decided to re use the rear bench leather as it was in a decent enough condition to not be a total write of




The new 60mm wastegate has arrived too, but installation will have to wait until the second stage of primer goes on the car in 2 weeks. Also my mate who does my tig welding comes back from his Europeean motorbike roadtrip around then and he's set up for back purging unlike myself.




Now my brand new billies didn't last much beyond 200 miles as you can see from the lower two tops. A combination of having slammed the car to the deck making them bottom out along with 500lbs coilover springs and solid topmounts coupled with a couple of country lane potholes at speed was decided to be the cause.




So they've been revalved with 25% increase in dampening and rebound for the spring poundage and the tubes shortened by 25mm to prevent any further recurrence.




Now Jeffer has very kindly supplied me with a bunch of billet bits to make my own intake mani, so after some extended maths I chose what length to chop the runners too in order to maximise flow at my desired peak hp rpm range




A bit of sexy welding and a temporary buff on the polisher and we have a shiny paperweight
