thanks to my mate Andy (seen in the photos) for the fab work and being the kind of guy that says "yeah sure. we can do that." in response to questions that normal people say "Why?? what a waste of time." |

plans for next weekend are, finish welding the tips on and fit venturi, weld stauff clamps under the car and run tubing, potentially test fit bonnet (maybe, its getting close) and fit surge tank and run fuel hoses(not sure about this one, it might not turn up in time.) |

| looking good BUT If that is the Plastic wire sleeve (looks like it) it will just melt and hopefully not drip on the exhaust and catch fire! You need to use the fiberglass stuff from wirecare.com .... |

| Ok guys, bonnet has arrived. Also got the surge tank. Photos to follow once I get to a computer, I don't know how to scale on the iPad. Actually has heaps of clearance around the supercharger pulley so I think there will be plenty of room for the planned upgrade to had style belt drive. |

| Little bit more progress. Fuel system just waiting on fire sleeve to finish. all the lines made. intercooler tank made (9.5ltr)just waiting on -16 jic weld on to complete. Should hear about my HTD drive eta on monday. I've ordered 2 k&n wrx panel filters and will be glassing the cowl induction in a couple of weeks.

| Thanks James, I've done a bit of tidying up and started to sort the cowl induction out. HTD drive pulleys were sent on Thursday but didn't arrive for this weekend. next one will be busy.
