At last they arrived . . .









So off I went to a friend's garage with Tom, to fix the intake pipe . . .





At first, I thought it wouldnt fit, but with patience, come results . .

It was a tight fit either way..

So onto the pics to let them talk themselves . . .







Started to do some tests





The Route from Lower to Upper







There it is ready with the heat wrap on









As I said, tight fit . . .



Looks and works awesooooooome . . .

Tested the car at 1,8bar of Pressure, BOY IS IT FAST . . . It was something else. . . . I need another road for more boost, to be safe . . .

Cant wait..Love this car . . .

Hope you enjoyed this update as much as I did

So more dash work







Once Trimmed it will look awesome I believe

Prepping the middle / main vent quad gauge pod in order to paint it in black . . . Slowly working everything out . . .

Removed . . .



Sanded from Anthracite Grey . . . Then Primered . . .



And is now left to dry in a Matte OEM Black finish







Needs to do some more trimming tomorrow . . . Getting there, I love this project

This is how I left it yesterday



Started with some trimming today for the gauges to go in . . .





Gauge Pod ready



Testing



Rear Diff Temp Ready



Shift Light in



And all together



Need to trim the airbag some more . . . and then ready for . . . . . alcantara . . . ! ! !

Dash left at the shop . .



Original Italian Black Alcantara with Blue Stitches where needed is the theme . . .

Then I got a bit carried away, and left this there, as well . . .



Oooops . . .

Cant Wait ! !

Waiting for these . . .



4in Alu Pipe



And Full Race Heat Foil



So It took this . . .



And started filling . . .





Started Sanding . . .



REALLY boring . . .

And then I put my hands in there . . . Oh boy













B o o o r i n g . . . .

Added some filler for fine finish . . .



Then sand it again . . .

Almost there



Tomorrow I plan on making the spot for the shift light . . .

As for the AEM Filter Waiting to go on, a friend of mine gave me something he bought for his wrangler to protect the filter from mud, water, dust . . . check it out . . .

Donor Car :P











Could come handy when it is raining with my filter being on a low spot near the water roads . . .

Remember my on-going project for the all-black interior ?

Well I had this idea . . . I will not tell you what - however, there I was, following the FeDex van



Here is what was inside



Loved it in excellent shape a bargain actually



After an hour of work on this, two cut fingers etc etc. . .



I managed to remove the airbag seat, heavier than I thought, a pain in the ass to remove, I dont want to see it again





Also thinking that it is the perfect chance to take my time, and built in any other thing i want, like the shift light for instance...i think it would look awesome if done properly...
