Then the whole thing has been polished to Lee's usual high standards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesy Posted July 19, 2010 Author Share Posted July 19, 2010 (edited) HURRRRRAAAHHH!! Got the best news ever yesterday - Lee has managaed to fabricate the DP and manifold so it all now fits The turbo also has the big H cover on it so that was causing an issue on the manifold but thats sorted too now. This has been a major headace and a sticking point - i dont know how he did it but wanted to say a massive thanks to Lee for his patience and trickery to fabricate it all. As far as im aware not too many have ever manage to get a Full race downpipe to work with anything but a full race manifold - hence why not many people use the full race stuff, even though its arguably the best available. Good times!! Edited July 19, 2010 by Jamesy (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesy Posted July 19, 2010 Author Share Posted July 19, 2010 Yeah fcon pro gold mate.....only took 2months of searching to get one!
