Where did you get the dash flocked? I've been looking into this for the last couple months on and off while waiting for my car, have only really found 1 or 2 that people recommend. Good to see it on an MR though, even if I am slightly gutted its not mine

Whats next on the shopping list?

Not a lot, just start rebuilding the engine though i do need a few bits more to start that......

adam3442 did it, not sure if he goes by that name on here.

Theses do flocking to

www.suffolkflockingservices.co.uk

cost my mate £130 including postage both ways. You have to take it out yourself tho

[cantfindausername]

Yeah had a quote from them ages ago. But have heard that the turn around time is shocking. I'm looking at flockit.eu at the mo.

[redeye32uk]

Not been on here much but thought i'd show how how its looking now.......... Finished the engine cover at last, just the twin spal fans to fit





New paint and lots of Carbon.................





What doesn't show up well in the pics is the red micro flake thats over everything thats carbon and black.
Still got some parts to fit, carbon headlightcovers black mirrors and a carbon bit between the rear lights......

Now starting the engine as i have everything to finish that so should be done end of March

[Leon.]

Liking the look chap, modestly done, was gonna mention mirrors and headlight covers but they're already in the pipeline

I think its always tricky to know how to finish the 2 tone at the back if you continue on the engine lid and boot, but should look good with the centre panel too. Have you thought about smoked front lenses?

[nikaiyo]

Wow looking great

Every cloud and all that

Started the final leg.....................
Friday took the b1tch to Pip at WGT to be mapped and within an hr it was mapped up to 1bar and 399bhp.
After a dinner break we were going to go to 1.6bar but the boost kept tailing of around 7000revs which we put down to a low spring in the Tial wastegate so it was pointless going for 1.5bar.
In a few weeks we'll be back with a bigger spring to finish it off but for now I'm at 441.8bhp @1.3bar and 362.5 lbft torque. be interesting to see what she makes at 1.6 bar with the direct port NOS thats already in and ready to go



This is all finished and tidy now.................

[JJ]

Looks impressive !

No problems with air temps at the moment ?? I guess this time of year not too much of an issue.. but when it gets warmer, running anything more than 1.4 bar on a side mount is pointless IMO.

Wouldn't like you to be disspointed at a limiting factor to your setup !

[redeye32uk]

I want to see how far it will go on a sidemount and we've changed the cooling system. All during mapping, and you know how many power runs it takes, the air intake didn't go above 50 degree's, water stayed at a nice 82-84 degree's even with the big block of the dynopak blocking most of the side intake. I was suprised how cool it stayed

[redeye32uk]

Just ment to say that it will only be run at 1bar on the road, bigger boost will be for the strip only.

[Bobby (aka Shaggar)]

Been inactive fora good while while my own car was off the road, so only just seen this whole thread. Um, I'm late for everything so...sorry about you smash, um, congrats on teh insurance payout, errrrrr...., good find with the new car,eeee.......nice parts bought, coming along nicely.......and, um, good results so far with the engine build.....

...I think that just about brings me up to date!
