eventually but I want my number plate where it is still as not keen on it too one side

not really possible matey,the plate will cover any hole you make lol

i went for slight smaller mouth left the rub strip uncut

Flybikeslee left his plate in situ but drilled 4 or 5 holes behind it. Looked standard but on track etc still got the flow to the cooler with the plate removed

Extra pipes needed ordered got them from autosiliconehoses with 15% off use promo code ASHHOSE

Flybikeslee left his plate in situ but drilled 4 or 5 holes behind it. Looked standard but on track etc still got the flow to the cooler with the plate removed

did that at first then cut the whole recess for more flow. left bits either end for the plate still to mount to. painted black so it's hard to see.

fitting Black carpet and arm rest tomorrow and will take pictures including the black seats I've already put in

good good you fitted seats before carpet?? gonna have to start again :yes:

 

should have nice big tasty update soon

yea I did put seats in first but to be fair it takes 5 mins to get them out.... 4 bolts and a flat head screw driver and done

pictures tomorrow, managed to do it but it was dark...

picture before it was painted  

Lee every time I see pics of your car I cry a bit !

So here's the pics of carpet change + seats + arm rest

 

Some may say the seats are a downgrade but I prefer them and they are actually comfier and lighter despite having air bags in them

 

Carpet was pretty clean anyway but I gave it a clean any way before I put it in as it's the only real chance to get to the bits that normally are hard to get too.

 

One thing I did do which makes it a lot easier to get in and less hassle is cut a line in the middle from were the convenience module is as there's a dash support bracket in the way and it doesn't adversely affect it as you can't see it and the carpet still sits fine... Also makes taking the white one out easier

 

 

 

 

Sunlight makes them look grey but they are black

 

 

Armrest in place

 

Is there much more lateral support? I *HATE* the vRS seats, me arse cains after a drive and when I throw it about, it's like I'm driving a park bench. Doesn't help I have a fat arse so am desperate for something better.

 

Also looking good

Finally finished the FMIC and it actually works after a bit of testing and chopping and changing... so here's the pictures. Changes a bit throughout to the final set up.

 

Garage full of bits and tools although I ended up ordering more 

 

 

already had fitted the fmic in terms of placement not plumbing in

 

 

got an ouchy

 

 

Bits off

 

 

 

BAM inlet

 

 

To fit charge pipe you have to use BAM fuel rail as you can see the old AUQ placed ontop goes directly out but BAM is shorter and goes down

 

 

 

In place but had to be rearranged

 

 

Charge pipe in place with my modified OEM bracket to support it and stop it rubbing fuel lines

 

 

Driver's side pipe work which ended up not clearing the bumper

 

 

 

Modified to clear

 

 

Another shot of the pipe, as you can see brake servo pipe isn't ideal but still waiting on pipe work to route it properly so just had to make it work

 

 

Modified throttle body pipe, problem is getting something wide enough, short enough with a dv outlet so this is what I came up with

 

 

Had to chop a bit off the corner of the battery tray to clear it but the battery still fits fine and the tray is in place properly

 

didn't take pictures of it all but it goes 90 degree from the throttle body then couples onto a map pipe adaptor then couples onto a long 2" 90 degree then onto the next picture

 

 

 

Final finished product

 

 

 

 

 

Went for a drive and at 6500 in 2nd it blew a pipe off... was the driver side small red coupler you can see in the picture above so replaced that with a longer one and tightened everything back up... took it for another drive got to the same rpm and none stop boost so I'm happy with that and finally got it done... Took me a while and the result was a very ****ed off GF.... least it's done now

Pipe for brake servo turned up today
