Except they didnt do it. They went over the car and gave me a list of little bits I need to sort out first to ensure the car stays at £380+bhp and doesnt end up a molten pool of metal http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/wink.gif LOL

Oh well, starting on the list tommorrow http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/frown.gif At least it should stay together once its done http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/biggrin.gif

Ah feck man, its looooong http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/biggrin.gif

Ok, here some of the bits:

Header tank 'crazed' (as on virtually every Cossy) which may lead to it splitting
Fuel lines need replacing
Wrong exhaust manifold studs, nuts and washer
Exhaust manifold gaskets the wrong way round!!
Intercooler is right up against rad so need a bead of silicon sealent between them to prevent them wearing at each other
Need a new turbo to intercooler pipe as the original item may split under 30psi
Rad weeping, needs changing
Amal valve insecure
Fuel filter needs changing

Thats about it. Im going to my mates tommorrow (runs a National Tyre outlet...mmmmm...compressor, mmmmm ramps http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/biggrin.gif LOL) to try to get the majority of the stuff sorted. Smithy is going to try to make a pipe for me so it should be sorted for next week. http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/biggrin.gif

Bloody hell - I hope you didnt do that!! Having said that, this is coming from the man who managed to put a clutch slave cylinder on the wrong way round http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/rolleyes.gif
Did it still work OK?? Maybe you have discovered a new mod or something http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/wink.gif
