I have done 160 of the 1000 run in miles and have a few niggles that need to get sorted. But im loving every minute. Been freezing my bits off today trying to tidy it up (hasnt been polished in nearly 3 years)

thats awesome mate - love it

i like the v-mount set up - does it run with the FD fans on the rad

looks like its a very nice fit awell

[G@NDY]

Thanks fellas

Stu I will have to ask Tim, but I thought he did use the FD fan. We are going to make some ducting for it tomorrow and change the thermostat so will report back with some results.

[grinder]

it looks a really nice job - would say that i would do it to mine - but as we all know - im too cheap for that - and dont have the time ! LOL

[TiddlesRX7]

Nice one mate. Good job keeping your patience with it. Many have started and then given up or lost sight of what they wanted. It looks stunning considering nit hasn\'t been polished for the 3 years. You want to come and not polish mine for a while!

[turbointhebrain]

nice, good man, keep truckin on with it, gonna be a monster!

[rx7pat]

Thats awesome, once its run-in let me know what the turbo is like, spool up time, power etc. Looks Nice!

ooh, r-magic bodykit! the wide body one?
cant wait to see that!
where did you locate your oil cooler to?
any more pics fot eh v-mount? be interesting to see how other people to it

[G@NDY]

The kit I have is the R Magic front and rear bumpers and the side skirts. Ive fitted the front to make up to see what it looked like, and love it will try and get a pic of it today.

The oil coolers are mounted in the same postion as they sit on an FD, where the fog lights used to be. Fitting the oil temp and pressure gauges after crimbo so will report how they are.

Will try and get some more V mount pics also.

Updates to follow in March

[Ada7]

Era told me about all the troubles you\'ve been having with your car and it sounded like you were having a hell of a bad time with it. Glad to see you\'ve not given up and its up and running now
