The car is slowly reacing its final stages of work, it remains only to do:
-Mount FMIC


I searched a lot for this kind of IC (68cmX17cmx9cm thick) so it can fit without too much cutting of the fender and so.Becouse of the thickness the flow is practicly equal or even better then the "higher brothers" of at least 23 cm height.

-Install new custom exhaust header
-Glue the bl**dy windshield already in

I will post some pictures of the remaining work.

Long time no update and that becouse of the problems with the windshield.I learned the hard way that the windshield from a 145/146 WONT FIT...its to thick and to high.I bought one new non-original and now i can just sell it or throw it away.A new windshield for the 155 is very costy 300-400eu so i went for a good used one.

few piccies:
Wrong tyres here....195/40/16



Need to finish the inside triming,fit a like new momo sport pack wheel.


Quite chunky look:

Finally got the custom made ex.header!



Its a copy of the ebay manifold but made better and with a few improvements(its full inox so its around 2kg lighter then that from the ebay!!,the pipes are more apart from the engine....)

[wrinx]

....the pipes are more apart from the engine....)

That's good, but you may find they are MUCH closer to the fan and it's wiring now

There's not much room in there!

This header will be completly wrapped in 1600 degree celsius Heat wrap and also the turbo will have a heat shield so there is not much worry .

Alfajack:

I can ask him if he can make one if you wish.

[Stuntz]
