Well that job sucked. 4 hours to sand the flange flat. The other side is worse too  :(

That doesn't sound like fun.   Why did it take 4 hours?

Just because the surface was so uneven and I did it by hand. I was using 60 grit bit would of helped if I had something more coarse.

I finally finished the new brake line I made. It took a bit of fiddling as I had to raise the brake line splitter so it cleared the subframe. At the same time it had to loop around the fuel hardline.





I also made up the braided fuel hoses for the rear. I still need to decide how I am going to secure them, but I have some p-clips that should be enough. Once I have done that I just have to sort the fuel tank breather lines, then I can get the diff in and the axles on.

Pretty much got the fuel system plumbed in (except engine bay). I used big pvc pipe in any areas where I thought there might be a chance of rubbing.



A couple of bay pics just because I have finally got my new camera:




I also fitted my steering rack poly bushes, though I am not happy with them as they have splayed out and deformed quite a bit. One side has quite a large gap between the two halves (pics to follow).

More wiring.... Joy :)

Got this used, came with 2 Ecu's (not sure if they both work) and I think I lucked out with the fuel injector connectors.

Do you have any pictures of your intake and fuel rail around the fuel inlet area? I have the same intake and fuel rail but I modified my fuel rail to feed from behind the past ion damper and am not sure if it is going to fit with the FAST intake.

Happy to take some, but what's the "past ion"?

Sorry. Autocorrect on my phone got me. I meant Pulsation Damper. If you could take some photos similar to these that would be very helpful!
