Thanks mate, there good chunky wheels and they feel good through the steering wheels too :razz:

 

[Evo8Frankie]

A bit more done, and a bit more to do lol.

I received a full set of Ross Sport grooved discs and GiroDisc pads. and painted the hubs with Halfords VHT Gloss Black paint, to help protect from future rusting and for a all round better finish/look.

Iv removed the horns ready to fit somewhere better as where i had them fitted wasnt good as the APS pipe wouldn't fit in the gap between the wing and chassis leg, i sanded them down ready to paint gloss black. better looking and less obvious :razz:

Also fitted a volt gauge which is the last of my DEPO gauge setup.

So now i need to
.Fit a 6 rad and pipes.move the fan control unit as its fouling the lower IC pipe.
.Fit my new Race Tech manifold
.Fit my new neverneverman catch can
.Fit my new oil filter sandwich plate
.Spray a 2nd coat of black on the IC and then spray the AMS logo on.

Sorry for the crappy pics....

I like the personalised air freshner

 

[craig201]

Why you need the sandwich plate mate?

 

[Evo8Frankie]

I like the personalised air freshner

It dont smell of anything. Its just for looks lol.

Why you need the sandwich plate mate?

So i can get a reading on my oil temp gauge.

 

[craig201]

Oh is yours a 260 mate as ive got 2 off 3/8 sockets on my oil filter housing so only needed 2 off 3/8 to 1/8 npt reducers and have tapped into these for oil temp and pressure.

 

[raph]

Why not read pf the oulfilter housing,there are blank plugs on there anyway

No you don't mate the sandwich plate lowers the oil filter dangerously close to the ground and if your lowered it could catch. Just screw straight into the reducers without wires connected and use a little ptfe tape then screw them into the housing job done
Oh and there are 2, ive got the depo 4 in1 and take both from there no problems.
