Cheers again Iain, I'll post on here when it's going up the pod!

When it was revving in the video it was only around 2500 revs.
I was grinning from ear to ear and shook my mate by the hand.

Cheers for everyone's support and comments over the years. If someone told me it would take this long at the beginning I probably wouldn't have started the project. However I'm kinda pleased that I have created this slightly crazy animal.

I literally cannot wait to get the brakes on and to test drive it and eventually see that boost guage go round to 2.3bar!

So me and my mate went up to work on the car tonight and after a few laughs and hiccups the front brakes are working.
We were trying to bleed the front brakes, we couldn't get any fluid through the system and thought that the master cylinder seals had popped like the other cylinder.
So we set about reverse pressure bleeding it from the caliper end to try and pop the seal back in place only to be greeted with a huge leak.
The reason why we couldn't bleed them was I forgot to do up the front passengers side bulkhead connector! My mate is never going to let me forget about that!
Then in the process of pressure bleeding it, the hose came off and showered the car with brake fluid! Oops!
All that aside the fronts are done and the only thing that is stopping it being drive is the arrival of an m18 tap for the rear calipers!
I was going to go out without any back brakes but it was too late and dark.
This weekend we should be rolling.

I've even spoken to my friendly mot tester who has advised me that my car will need wipers! Aahhh man!

[pinkmini99]

Wipers ? Haha just take the screen out there for no screen no need for wipers or washer jets :-p

[kmol468]

Well that's what I was going to do, but apparently if it came with a screen originally it has to have one.

[RooBoonix]

Just chuck a long handled squigee in the foot well and use that

[cal844]

Just fit them :)
