Oooooh nice. Got any pics of the pile of parts?

Nice! Pics please. Pics of stuff.

I'm going to AKS tomorrow,I'll get a few shots while I'm there!

Although to be honest,most of it hasn't been delivered yet!

I'll have shots of the turbo,manifold and SEM inlet ;-)

This sounds very interesting, one to keep an eye on for sure.

Cheers Lloyd ;-)

Just been collecting parts and slowly losing my living room to big boxes of shiny,expensive things!

Cars going to get picked up and dropped at the unit on Monday 20th ;-)

Then it gets ripped apart ;-)

What happend? All this talk of a massive build and then no news ??

No news is good news....kind of!
