had to remove the 2.5 tonne eyelets that were on the bullbar and rear bar and replace them with something stronger as CCDA wouldnt pass eyelets as recovery points.....

I unbolted the eyelets, cut them out and welded new peices of 25mm thick plate in through the bar welded to both sides....

Great rig mate. Quality as usual.
That front end is working pretty well...what front arms are you running?

 

[Screwy]

The intercooler pipework was a little tricky.
I wanted it out of the way.
I ran it through the front fire wall and behind the headlights and out and inbetween the outer and inner gaurds on both sides and back into the engine.......

I lost a 2 pound pressure drop from 12 pound to 10 pound when i did this, i then fitted the boost controller and wound up the fuel. I now have 15 pound and no noticable difference in lag.

The new engine bay. ( as it sits now )
