cheers man

Im not giving the civic as much attention to detail and power as the lude will be getting, just incase anyone is wondering why the civic is getting all the attention and the lude just sitting

biggest plans for the lude

forgot to stick these pics up earlier, changed over the rear lights for a set of facelift ones for only £20..

much cleaner then the early ones

wee update, still waiting on some parts getting delivered to finish the boost pipes, heres what I've done recently



The oil return flange at the bottom of the turbo made the hose rest on the hot side of the turbo so I had to change it



got a an10 one as I already had an an10 fitting





10x better for flow aswell !


also got a new rad stay
couldn't exactly stick the standard one back on





new T-clamps & air filter .. I may have ordered too many clamps



we found some silicone hoses in the right colour of pink for the boost pipes
the reducer pipe came this morning but we couldn't find one in the other other of pink.

test fitted, and its pointing a weird way, I dont like it lol



so, need to point the turbo down ...



turned the turbo round and trimmed the hose a bit and clamped it up




the other hoses and some oil lines are on there way so i can finish the boost pipes off and possibly get it stated !
