Hold on, I'm not even sure that's him. He was based in London - Coldharbour Lane, unless he moved? :?
Swear that's the same web address though.

South West? Where abouts are you based then? I'm in Bristol.

Over the bridge in Wales is Pro...blah, blah blah (can't remember the name). Nathan will chime in with the name as he had a system made. Proper mandrel bent items and good solid fab work from what I hear.

I am located in Exeter, so am ideally looking for somewhere local. Both those companies you guys have mentioned produce some awesome work! Thats the kind of quality I am after so i'll think i'll draw something up and go from there, as this would be my first designed header I bet there will be some changes needed - any exhaust guru's on here?
Today I have ordered up an exhaust flange from Tegiwa and have also received my billet engine mount for the cam chain side of the motor, and so hopefully tomorrow I can show you guys the first engine mount bolted up the car! If any of you guys need any one off parts drawn up or costed don't hesitate to give me a shout!

I used to live in Exeter and was part of a club called outkast. Unless new places have opened since I've been gone from there the only places were the usual powerflow etc. I'm based in Cardiff now, where prospeed is based. They always seem very busy in there and from what I've seen have glowing reports on many forums.

Never heard of this club, are they made up of the people usually seen hanging around in the McDonalds carpark ?

Another question for you guys; what is the diameter of the hoses that attach to the standard rad? I need to order up some silicone 90's and joiners for the cooling hoses, cheers!

Nice one, managed to confirm the size is def 32mm for both the Prelude radiator and the K20a, ordered up some silicone hoses, a joiner piece and now need to get a custom made mandrel bent alloy hose and that'll be the plumbing done!
