Just caught up with this.. i assume it never actually came to light what happened?

You're doing an awesome job and doing it right! Love the car, you're making good progress

Yeah intercooler pipework, down pipe and mid pipe fabrication. Adding additional sensors for the Link ecu, installing the engine loom, wiring the fuel pump relays and gauges, wheel alignment, few other loose ends that need finishing and then basically getting it run in and mapped!

Did this ever sell?

Got the car loaded up last night then made the trip to SRD this morning. Had butterflies in my stomach the whole way home knowing that in a few weeks it'll actually be finished and i can drive it again. Thanks to Mike, Ash and Lee

well i actually have both sides, just haven't fitted the other side yet!

I got all the lines installed underneath the car too. Which were the perfect length. The kit included 4x billet fuel/brake line mounts for the centre of the car but nothing for the rear where the fuel lines route over the subframe. I had some AN8 duel line clamps which i mounted to the factory locations using some thread bar, i pinned the brake lines in the same place too using plastic P clips - all in all im pretty pleased with the result. No loose fuel lines or brake lines and all done neatly. Photos are pretty grainy due to the poor lighting under the car i also got a mount made in the boot to accommodate the fuel pump relays. Ive left the wiring for SRD

So i spent the day today finishing the fuel system (or atleast everything i could) I'd built the fuel pump hanger up a few months back but needed to pull my oem pump out the tank and swap over the sender unit

Thanks Keith, its been a long time coming but i can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel!

Thanks mate, i bought it from Lee Elkin-Afonso. I then cut the top off it and added the heat shielding to the side. Once this is all done and back from SRD and i've enjoyed it over summer I'll be booking in with you for some underside work!

Then i moved onto the fuel system, im using all Radium products, i have the triple pump hanger and the complete fuel line set. Made a good start yesterday and plan on finishing it today

Been finishing a few jobs this week before the car goes to SRD Saturday morning. Took the week off work because i know everything always takes longer than expected! Started by finishing my heat shield for the clutch and brake reservoirs. and then finished my power steering cooler lines and filled with ATF - no leaks so far!

Looking for a good used hypertune or similar high quality intake manifold for a gte engine.

If this is still for sale I'd offer 4.5k

Another niggley little job ticked off the list this evening.. Clutch fork in, new slave cylinder installed, slave cylinder line made and installed with a new clutch hose (couldnt find a braided one but if anyone knows where i can find one please let me know) I originally installed a HEL braided clutch master line because it was advertised as a complete line from the master cylinder to the slave cylinder and so i assumed that ment it deleted the rubber hose and copper line.. but no, it doesn't actually go all the way to the slave, it terminates where the original line ends. Fortunately i didn't damage my oem copper clutch master cylinder line so i removed the HEL braided line and refitted the oem one. Figured an oem copper line was better than a braided one (even though the HEL line was purple and matched the rest of the bay) I then got it bled and installed the R154 inspection covers after checking everything was working as it should One of my colleagues took a couple pics of me doing it

I think its the latter I hate the expense, but know it'll be worth it in the end

Tried Keron, unfortunately no luck

Looking for a drivers (RHD) window motor as i seem to be incredibly unlucky as mine has failed - apparently these fail very rarely so if anyone has one laying about in their shed that they'd sell me I'd be grateful

I'll never sell mine. It means too much to me and I've invested far too much time and money into it. Sometimes i wish i could bring myself to sell it for none other reason than being able to save money. I wish i was one of those people who can save/invest money in sensible things and allow their money to 'grow'... systematically putting themselves in a strong financial position later down the line. I understand the principle, but my car just absorbs every last penny.. and i just allow it to happen

I'd absolutely love to be a part of this but unfortunately my car wont be finished in time. Maybe next year though!

So good to see this! Weirdly enough i actually thought about your build the other day and wondered how it was getting on. I was hoping you hadn't given up on it but clearly not!

Spent the last few spare hours I've recently had flatting, polishing and ceramic coating the bonnet and roof. Just going panel by panel. The photos dont really do any justice unfortunately also.. those work meister reps, i advertised them for sale at £1200 and got an absolute torrent of abuse on one of the Jap parts sales pages but.. potentially it may all be worth it because someone has offered me a straight trade with a 2003 convertible e46 bmw, black with cream leather. Hopefully getting it Tuesday.

Yeah so the wheels are a bit of a failure but never mind. Its not like they were 5 grand and I'd waited 6 months for them. I'll figure something out - back to the WELDS. pushing forwards... got the expansion tank fitted behind the passenger headlight also, after purchasing a second walbro 450 i realised that I'm not going to be able to utilise the factory fuel pump wiring (probably for the best) so i bought 2 radium fuel pump wiring kits and after doing some research i think I'll be completely deleting the stock fuel pump ecu and triggering the relays via the Link G4

Wheels arrived... Fronts dont fit They hit my brembos and will need a pretty large spacer before achieving enough clearance so probably a no go! Ultimately it was only the rear wheels that i need and they fit fine - but i dont really want to be driving round with odd wheels so I'll probably sell these Meister reps. Shame because they look really good!
