Nice one Dan, what are you waiting for now? My car is looking like been done by the end of this month now as my mate cannot fit it in for painting till the 18th then it will take a little bit for me to wire and plumb it all in nice and neat again. Rick

There a fucking pain it the ass aint they Dan! Mine is now booked in to be painted on the 22nd of this month so i am now aiming to have it all done by the end of this month as i aint rushing it as i cannot be arsed anymore! Going to be fitting the engine in at my mates place though so that will not take 2 long with the lift as i can just lower the car over the engine without a crain or anything! Rick

thanks Rick, yup got my hoses now--shame i dont have a clue where 85% of them go!
oh and i have a sensor left which goes on the block but not sure where! its the black plasticy one!
what injectors are you going to run Rick? ive settled on the saab reds@ 3.5bar on a webcon regulator all for ?100, not to bad theve just been cleaned aswell!, same bloke i got the phase 3.5kit off of!
so now i need actuator and uprated pump :roll:
