thanks man. decided not to go the glove box for the fuses n relays, so mounted them behind the glovebox, where the old aircon blower used to be. that way theyre out of the bay and i still have my glovebox Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

lol not really bro. oh btw i reckon leave ur car on the polished calais' w/whitewalls. looks tough ok guys i now have an EOI out on the shell of my car. looking to throw all my running gear into and very stock sl/berlina. if you have one (must be immac) and would be interested in a swap (+cash adjustment) let me know. preferrably white. note that its just the rolling shell including interior etc. no motor or box.

lol nah man its never been defected before or anything, but ive always liked the sleeper look and i just feel like a change thats all. if i dont find a buyer just for the shell i'll slap an na motor and box in and sell it as a runner with rego etc. prob be better off that way anyway

hi mate, car looks awesome!! why would you go back to the stockish type Maatouks plenum and ditch off the cpc plenum?? Wouldn't the cpc plenum be better for higher boost and big power levels?

hey guys thanks, can't wait to get it back on the road...seems like ages since ive driven this thing. sleepyvlt - i bought this plenum complete as it is so i don't know exactly how much it would cost to do the work. Maatouk sells these plenums for $400 or so for top half only no tb etc. however mine is hpc coated not polished. would cost around $200 to get coated like mine from competition coatings BluVLCT - no reason to be honest, i just preferred the look of these plenums, and plus i ganed a bit more hp and response from going to this one tbh

Nice work man. Is your signature a Seinfeld quote? (I'm a diehard fan)
