LOL - Im sorry I have been slacking with pictures and updates. Plus I've had a lot of people messing me around and delaying the conversion.
The car is roughly about a week away from completion. I've had my ECU chipped to give me figures of around 215bhp. I have a straight through decat from Powerflow exhausts. What's left to do is just tidying up and piecing it all back together.
I am going up to 16" wheels as a necessity as the sump sits only 1" away from the ground. This also gives me the opportunity to get wider wheels to lay the power to tarmac. I am ordering them in a couple of weeks so watch this space...

A Hah, I'm going to keep you guessing for now..
I really do like 15s because of how low I can get the car but I have not much other option with the bigger AGU lump..

Again, I really do apologise I've missed out a big chunk in this build thread but - it's in, it's running, it's nearly there...
All I'm waiting for is the intercooler to be mounted and other small niggly bits.

Cheers mate. Colour coding engine cover and chroming everything else. Just got a cheap intercooler for ebay which works just as well I've been told.
