Martyn,

Thanks for doing that mate, Ive just been out and bought paint shop so once I've sussed it out (I'm OK with a spanner but these computers do my head in) I'll post some more of the day at the rollers with the other fellas cars.

Abs just had it grit blasted (aluminium oxide), only cost £15

Cheers Mark.

[Martynf]

NO problem Mark,

Well I'll help you with any PC issues and then you can make my S2 the same as yours

Mark, your engine bay looks really awsome !
And your turbine assembly makes my RS2 unit with stock airbox and hoses look crappy and... small

I want one of those "hair dryers" too

Marco,

It really is too noisy, I am thinking of making a small silencer for it to just quieten it down a bit, and probably sweeten the the sound a little as its a bit raw at the moment.

cheers Mark.

Hi, Hi...

just thinking at the poor cars tring to overtake you:
they arrive about at driver door, then....
you floor the throttle
quick building of boost
car starts taking off
then... "SBRRRAAAAAAMMMMMMM" :eek2:
waste gate opens while you just fly away in front of them....:eek2:
taking away their left side paintwork

Mark, all I can say is WOW......very nice, you must look silly driving around with a big grin on your face.....hehe

Would you be so kind as to list the mods you've done and where you got the parts? Prices would be nice also, but only if you don't mind sharing that....TIA!

[Doug_RS2]

Just noticed - Where is the air filter?

[MikQuattro]

Hehe...that was one of the first things I noticed also....in fact, I've noticed that on a few cars now on such sites as Dahlback racing...

[Sweeper]

I believe in the left corner of the front bumper where cold air from outside is.

[Mark Halligan]

Doug,

Yep, its down behind the bumper on the right hand side, unfortunately the AC compressor is occupying the best place, so it had to go further down and to the right just in front of the oil cooler.
The ducting for the cooler had to be removed and will be modified, although interestingly this has not affected oil temperatures at all which is a bit suprising. But I'll still replace it after I've cut it about and reshaped it with GRP, I'll do this when I fit the RS2 bumper.
I've also got to think about shielding the cone from deep water as I feel its a bit too low down, its a stainless steel mesh Quickshift one, my old Blitz cone was too big .
I tell you it's not until you try something like this that it really hits home how little room there is to play with in there, it took me two days of Fecking about to find a home for that filter and I'm still not 100% happy with it.
I'll probably incorporate this splash shielding into the form of the new oil cooler ducting. The MAF also had to be moved forward and down, so the loom was cut and extended.

Cheers Mark.
