Oki little updates.

i Got my harnesses and there installed very sexy i must admit and i also installed my turbo timer which works perfect :) woop woop.

i'v not got any pictures of these yet i'll have to get some shortly.

but the biggest thing over the past few days was getting the front mount in. had to buy a new silicone hose kit as the one provided with the intercooler piping was absolutely crap.

this is half way through the installation with the piping all test fitted and the intercooler strapped in. as you can see on the floor i was yet to relocate my oil cooler and washer bottle haah.

after a lot of hassle and poking i got it installed. in the end relocated the oil cooled behind the intercooler and made some custom brackets for that. then i found my washer bottle wouldnt fit so i replaced it with a spare civic one i had lying around since there tiny.

here's the intercooler sitting nicely

i'll prob get more pictures at some point showing all the locating and piping but these are just random ones i took and waht can i say. work is slow today so though't i'd update :D

haha

Can you tell i'v got her back on the road? haha after the dyno run i thought today was a nice day to take her for a little bit of some photo shootage. unfortuantly my camera sucks so the quality is poor. (really should buy a SLR camera)

but here is the final product. hope you enjoy.
