ripped_fear Posted March 4, 2016 Author Share Posted March 4, 2016 was all that induction bought from ASH? would be interesting to know exactly what parts consists of it. A local mate of mine is getting an IC off BEN and needs an air induction solution. Just the silicone was purchased from there. I can do a break down with links and prices when I'm home tonight. Nothing was bolt on though. All needed modifications but all relatively simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripped_fear Posted March 14, 2016 Author Share Posted March 14, 2016 Awesome look forward to seeing this new beast. Thanks mate. Unfortunately I doubt it will be finished but should be looking good. I think the inlet and turbo pipes will have to wait but will see how I get on for time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted March 14, 2016 Author Share Posted March 14, 2016 So shes packed ready for thursday, all the small parts. Just waiting on one order from Wifbitz and my camera rails from up country and I'm ready for a fun weekend. Also gave if a quick dust off as was very dusty. Took a picture of the before of my horrendous engine bay, by next week it should look a little more respectable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted March 14, 2016 Author Share Posted March 14, 2016 This is the reason for the paint work being done on the front. Thought it was worth getting a before video, much the same as when I did the NA back in the day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripped_fear Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share Posted March 15, 2016 So that is it, all the parts are here now, just waiting on some camera equipment ready for a little reveal video. Massive thanks to the following members/trader, -Scooter for sorting me out some OEM rubber caps for the suspension FOC. And despite the offer of paying he seem to be ignoring that part of the pm. Great club spirit. Any meet we cross paths at there is a few beers ready for you. -Paul Wiffin for getting me out the OEM bumper brackets (that I forgot to order with a previous order) and got them to me in record speed, despite me having issues with the website they still arrived today on the dot. -And last but not least a98pmalcolm for selling me a battery cover for a great price, and again getting it to me rather quickly! Had some great help from members on this build, and it just reminds you how great this place is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
