Fitted these last night with some help from Leigh again (cheers mate).

Problem is I bought them second hand, so didn't get the hoses.

I've used the stock hoses and they line up OK (Bracket lines up with tow eye bracket and the 2 holes on the fron line up with the ali plate) so I'm assuming they're in about the right position.

I basically have 2 problems now. First, the coolant resevoir is forced out of place by the back of the cooler and will hit the wheel. 2nd, the bottom of the front arch liners hits the bottom of the coolers, so it dosen't sit right.

Is this just me, or is it a common thing?!

I've junked the carbon cannister anyway to free up the air flow around the LHS one, so a smaller coolant bottle would be good for this too.

Anyone recommend a smaller coolant bottle (Topless?)

Oh, and the bumper looks like it was fitted by Stevie wonder, but I guess that's because we put it back on in the dark!

Managed to make a resevoir from an old brake fluid bleeder last night. It's a bit small, probably ~750ml but it looks like it's only expansion room anyway, so should be OK.

Airflow through the cooler should be much better now, as the whole back of it is unrestricted like the RHS one now. I'd take some pics but still don't have a digicam :(

Between fitting these and the 555's, det seems to have gone :dance:

Can't say I noticed a huge difference performance wise, but still running a pretty safe map at the minute, so hopefully that'll improve.

Great stuff John, glad you got it sorted :)

Yeah, but I might have that sorted. A friend in Japan claims he can get me JWT530's (but the garratt badged ones) for ~£1000 a pair. They come without flange converters but I guess I can knock some of them up for that price!

Now that sounds interesting :cool:

John, I fitted Greddy IC's ecently and didn't need to modify anything.

Is you car a UK or Jap spec ?

Jap and SWB, so might be a bit different? Also I guess your bumper is quite different inside?

Hi John sorry to bother u did you get my mail about the chip,

JD dude!.. keep meaning to mail you about your EPROMs - I've left them in the sun all week and they appear to be blank now. Just keep forgetting to bung them back in the post! Will try to remember tomorrow ;) Sorry.
