Not really, I thought someone said N13's might be able to work something out with them but the rubber hose??? you might have to go aftermarket for that. go to your local auto parts shop and see what rubber cojute of something that you could use, just find out the size of the wire.

The locks are universal, you just have to set the mechanism in the right spot bend the metal bar to shape and make sure it moves at the same angle as the lock leaver... bit of a fiddly job but its worth getting it right. the previous lock use to wedge to the side when they came up... as it wegded to the side it would pull all of them back down, somedays i couldnt get in my car

WOW! 12 months on and not much done till this last week.

As most of you know i have been through a lot this year, I broke up with my Ex in August Around the time i was getting this ready to put in the Microtech LT8s, Jap Spec Intake, intercooler I had purchaced off BennyET. As i decided to split with the Ex, I had to put a holt to the work on My Baby, the most i got done was get the Turbo half of the Intercooler piping made, as Benny had a Low mount ET and I have a High mount.

So I have had the last 8 days off work to get stuck into My ET. Now my new Girl doesnt mind my gettin dirty and she likes to spend some down time on the net so I've been outside making a mess.....

I pulled the intake, battery (yes i had to take out the battery as i had to "modify" the Battery box to fit the Piping) and removed the turbo to do a bit of hybriding of a T25G and a T25. But as i found out the T25 had a T02 exhaust housing and couldnt go through with cos the exhaust turbine was way too small to put in the T25G exhaust housing.

Now i dont have any way of uploading photos at the Mo, but when i do i will put the right up ASAP.

But for now here is a Photo of BennyET's Car and this is what The Intake looks like , Minus the Catch Can.

Oh I forgot I also Have the Jepspeed Front Bar. This is what it looks like with the Intercooler Hiding Away (once again This is BennyET's Car)

Cheers,
Dexi

Yeah I did. got some good ones for a guy off FJ20.com. The rears I'll 'ave thanks gov! I'll be round to take you for a spin when she's on th road, you can count on that.

BADET-4: Yeah its an oil cooler, it came off BennyET's old Beast. not sure where he got it, but one of the braided lines have been pinched and is leaking oil, not lookin forward to replacing.

Hey Benny while your at it do you know how much the shorter braided line cost, i need to replace it.
