Sorry it wont be for awhile, as i am planning on replacing the whole subframe. He would be better off getting one from the states as our dollar is good at the moment.

Getting so close now I can almost taste it, moving the battery to the boot and mounted the battery isolator.

This is looking very good. Like how the cooler piping goes through the gaps under the battery & the airbox. Got any other photos that show that clearly Bao?

That's very similar to how I had my old intercooler piping set up... and by the way I'm selling it in the for sale section :D

I will be working on it as soon as the concrete slab is down and I can put the car on it. There isnt too much more to do, its more tieing loose ends and it can be on the road. I'm planning to take it to this years superlap so it needs to be running well before that as there's still brakes and suspension to do.

Enthuzed - I dont have any other pics of the cooler setup, it looks similar to tomsun's setup from the pics of his for sale thread.

Bao,

The rotors are on the wrong way around. Need to swap them to the other side.

Nice brakes by the way. :beer What pad material you going to run. I found the Ferodo DS3000 are a great pad with good bite and feel on the track. I used DS2500's on the rear and overall the improvement was significant.

Cheers
Greg
