Cheers for the replys. Was all worth while doing I really do like the v6. Is like a VVC the power delivery but with a bit extra and a better noise :)

Today I sacked the collector box of and fitted a Y pipe. May go back to the roller tomorrow to see what the difference is as it does feel abit more pokey. But does sound different so hard to tell.

Also fitted a oil catch tank. Will try and get some more pics up.

Awesome work, I have a couple of questions, just for my own curiosity really. Where is the air filter drawing cool air from and also how come you have put the breather filter under the engines accoustic cover where it'll be hot?

Just wondered mate, most excellent work all round!! ;)

That has turned out really nice... and the finish looks better than factory!

The air filter has lots of cold air hitting it, as the radiator doesnt go to the top of the slam panel.

Will make a cold air box for it but for now it's not as bad as it looks.

Today I made the vis light indicator lights. Was pretty simple got all the stuff from maplin. A few pics.

As I thought my balance valve isn't working. So I need a new one. I took it apart and the board if fine. Put direct power to the motor and nothing :thumbsdown:

Now that is a neat solution hiding them in there!

At least you know what they are doing (or not doing i suppose)

Very neat place for the VIS Indicators :)

:wub: Love this, and in tarty blue as well! :D

Always wanted a coupe when I had my R8, insurance said no though lol

Cheers guys. Seems like a good place for them as you can easily see them when driving but there not blinding and look factoryish!
Have ordered new vis motors and oil pressure T piece. Also have brought some nice exhaust bends to make my own janspeed style exhaust manifold.

I seem to be spending money on this but I'm sorry to say this is the best car I've ever driven. Just feels so right :D

Update time.

Oil catch tank.

Fitted a Y pipe onto the manifolds and a polybush engine stabiliser bush.

Doesn't sound as good but performance feels much better.

Made a shield around the air filter to help with keeping the ITG cold.

Got some bends as I'm going to have ago at making the rear manifold the same length as front. Is going to be a ballache. But will hopefully be worth the effort.

And tonight ive just been back to the rolling road.

Old graph over new.

Gained power all over and 20ftlb low down so pretty pleased :)
Still room for improvement.
