Its a Blox stack and yeah I have some mesh to fit to it, I was gonna run the filter over it on the road, but the bonnet wont close with it on! Will just run cold air feed to it from bumper.

Id have prefered black seats, but beggars cant be choosers!

Did have them, but they looked tired so changed them anyway.

Still no sign of my mounts, apparently Innovative have to make them, as out of stock... :roll:

Picked up some new rims off Momin at the weekend, pics to follow.

Cadwell booked for Aug 5th, so need rear wheel bearing doing before then and hope my mounts turn up too...

No pics for this update, but new Innovative engine mounts are fitted, what a mission.... 8 hrs start to finish, would have been easier to take the engine out to do it! Initial impresions are very good, not that much vibration ( I got 60A) and it feels MUCH better under hard acceleration etc. Well pleased!

Id had got a set of Team Dynamics Pro Race wheels off Momin as they have huge brake clearance, in prepration for fitting 300mm up front, but one turned out to be oval, so he's taking them back and I'll be sticking with the CPR's and 262's.... so ordered a set of Toyo 888's ready for Cadwell on the 5th.

Cant wait.... just oil change and brakes to bleed next Sat, tyres fitted and I'm ready to go.
