Electric impact wrench.. any good?
Just thought a 24v would be a tad easier when it comes to rusty nuts on exhaust etc, not sure I want to cough up for a Snap on one, for the amount of use I'll give it.

Vacuum plugs, caps?
Will do, if I can't get any caps. I thought it would be easy, seems not so?

Vacuum plugs, caps?
Guys where on earth do you get these items? Scoured the internet and all the suppliers seem to be in the US or Aus. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VACUUM-LINE-HOSE-PLUG-CAP-KIT-CARBY-HOLLEY-DEMON-DRAG-/120638257825?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item1c1699baa1 Only need to buy a half dozen or so, any pointers? cheers H

Having been thinking about buying something like this below. Anyone have a similar tool? Good/bad points? thanks H http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/New-Clarke-CEW1000-Electric-Impact-Wrench-240v-/400155989034?pt=UK_Home_Garden_PowerTools_SM&hash=item5d2b27d42a

Larger SMIC's fouling on exp. bottle etc

Larger SMIC's fouling on exp. bottle etc
elongating the holes won't help I'afraid Mark, see pic below The IC pipe forces the exp. tank back at an angle. As you can see I could drill a new hole in the body work for the lower fixing point but the tank is still pissed, which stops the arch liner fitting properly. Look like I will relocate or find a smaller tank to fit the area. How big a catch tank (litres?) did you fit Mark?

Larger SMIC's fouling on exp. bottle etc
Guys half way through fitting some Greddy SMIC's. Having removed the CC on the passengers side to gain room for the IC I have found on refiting the expansion tank that it's sits slightly further back (only attaches on the top bracket & the top screw to chassis) with the tank sitting at an angle I can see that the arch liner isn't going to go back on. (not that is was on anyway). Was hoping to get everyting back on as OEM as possible. Shirley the drivers side will be as bad with the washer bottle in the way. Has anyone used/ mounted a smaller expansion tank and smaller washer bottle to overcome this? is so details would be great.

I'm back with a new Zed!
Have a similar problem with the bumpers on my W/A, I would like the gaps put back between the front wings and bottom sill as well so you can remove the wings if necessary.... Would make things much easier! Sounds like when you have finished most of the car will have been resprayed? Be sure to post up some pics once you have the work done, not enough wide arch's on here.

Advice for winter & mods
Deep pockets, as you will ideally need forged internals, larger tubs, bigger injectors, uprated clutch, brakes etc. to relistically get this figure without destroying your engine. Even doing the work yourself I reckon 8-10k if your buying new parts. hth
