  1. Its been started Sounds great apart from the uber squealing belt
  2. Almost finished Coolant overflow & power steering tank refitted S/C belt on, IC pipe fitted, oil lines connected Once the bumper bar is back on then I can tidy up the oil hoses & get them tied to the bar. Slight problems - Oil catch can won't fit in the standard location, it interferes with the pulley so I am getting a new bracket made up tomorrow so that I can move it further along the radiator. Power steering belt is squealing a lot & needs to be tightened, I cant really see much under the car now though so I'll sort that once its light. Just the little jobs left to do now thought
  3. I was planning to collect them (for old times, not because i'm a big child ) but haven't found anywhere selling them yet
  4. Roughly I'd say about £7.5K on parts Time taken I would say is about 45-50 hours Not bad considering I've never done anything like this before Finally got done around 7.30, she purrs quite nicely Full update will follow once I've sorted the pictures out
  5. Good to see you again today Next time I WILL be in the Z
  6. £130
  7. What trouble? Its just a little tight & costs about £10 more to buy Not forgetting that I'm not like most people Gains from a bigger IC are minimal for the outlay of a bigger IC I already have a larger oil pan & an oil cooler aswell as a dedicated oil cooler for the S/C so am pretty well stocked on the cooling side of things. I do have a smaller pulley to go on but I void the warranty if I fit it myself
  8. Nearly finished. If I get back from cheddar earlyish tomorrow I might be able to start the car tomorrow Jobs left: Secure IC pipe Plumb in BPV Refit power steering tank Refit coolant overflow tank Refit oil catch can Fill with coolant Fill with oil and then just a few final checks. There are a few other bits that need doing but because I can't jack the car up then I'm gonna get them done at Abbey next month
  9. At times I've felt like giving up, but I'm quite enjoying it & learning a load as I've gone along With nothing in the front of the engine bay you have loads of space, once the bigger radiator goes in then that takes ll the space. I need to look at getting a set of slimline fans in a few months as the fans are really really close to some hoses

  11. I've got a nice alpine for sale with ipod adaptor
  12. Started today by fitting the 2nd idler pulley & the belt. 54mm radiator + Supercharger bracket + Chubby hands = hard work fitting belts As you can see its a tight fit with the bigger radiator, I think I've cut away enough of my fan shroud now though to get by Intercooler goes in Pipework for intercooler goes on Oil tank, Oil cooler for the S/C in place Took me ages to get the hose onto the supercharger for the oil cooler, Its something that was supposed to be done before fitting the charger & not after but I missed that part of the instructions Filter on Another very tight fit, really need to get a blue filter though Final intercooler pipe on (not secured because it was dark) Nearly finished now, just got a few jobs left to do
  13. Yes, I've been effected by it. My parts were delayed and won't be here till monday
  14. I also saw the link on that particular site And have also ordered one
  15. Circle Earth £50 OEM Knob £35 Japspeed Decats £80 Alpine head unit £130
  16. Not sure I can get the braided hose in the right size but Earls don't do it in black. The one place I did find selling black hose reckon that the size isn't made Gonna pop up to a local place tomorrow and see if they can do it
  17. Sizes are -7 & -11 I've got something up my sleeve with the ARC logo though
