Polished throttel body installed

Decided under the d/s guard would be as good a place as any to hide the solenoid for the boost controller

Gaurd back on. Was a real prick to get the inner plastic guards mounted as i had the holes for them welded up in the engine bay Made up some L mounts to aid in holding them. You can see one in the pic of the solenoid above.

Decided to wrap the pipes even though they were ceramic coated. Spoke to my tuner and the coating should prevent the issue of condensation getting under the wrap and rusting the pipes out.

Pipes fitted alond with intercooler and ceramic coated water pipes.

Installed rear brakes plus rotors. The dust covers and center has since been painted. These pics were the initial trial fit.

The car is 99% complete. Just have to run the starter motor wire, test the lights etc, fill it up with fluids then wack it on a tow truck and get it re-tuned for the new engine. I have pics of the engine bay complete with turbo but i will save posting them up until its running. :)

Appreciate all the comments. I know it's been a while but I had to take a break from the car as it was taking up every hour of my spare and doing my head in a little. Weekend after c4c I will get back in to it.

Oh and Aaron I was going to post the pics on street commies today as well but I ran out of time and had to go to work. Will get them up either tonight or tomorrow
