Lol I plumbed it correctly worked perfectly.. Although after the head gasket got done it seams to have stopped working.. Kinked the pipe before the throttle body and seams to work perfect with blocking that pipe... Although I'll be removing it all again shortly.
Finally all back together.. Delight with the gauges and how they turned out.

It was first reg'd in July 2005, It has spent most of the last 9 years here hidden in garages. It was a weekend car for the first owner and the person I bought it off said it had spent the previous few years in a shed, add to that me having owned it a year and a half and it still not having touched the road as I was working on it, I would be surprised if you had seen it haha.
It is up for it's NCT on Saturday though so all going well it will finally get driven again.
Here it is a couple months ago. I'll be sorting out better pictures once the car is out of NCT mode

derek89 awh I really don't think I'll ever stop with it , but at the mo just trying to get it back on the road..
Kenny046 : cheers man keep plugging away with any free cash I have hence the slowness :cool:
hey, do u want sell that r32?
im looing for some r32 :(
Beautiful 32 man. Always admired it and funny seeing we ended up with a very similar set-up. Where did you get the CAS cover and bracket with the degrees etched into it?
He used to work in the eng department of Manchester uni so safe to say he knows his way about a CNC machine.
Awh I'd love to have a milling machine , have a lathe but think ya need both for best of both words, or just a seven axis milling machine LOL
DELIGHTED to finally have the front discs, the phrase "brakes like dinner plates" comes to mind:

No bother to him so then. Yeah I have been trying to get one for years and then ended up getting a small one for free as the guy had moved to Australia. I definitely agree with you on needing both, So many things that you just need a lathe for. Haha not too many of those laying about un used
JUST about fit under the 17in wheel

It was a tight squeeze...! and it was the first-time I had to be careful not to mash the wheel into the caliper! So with the brake all bleed its ready to roll out of the shed but do want to wait to finish on the rears with some new brake hoses..
Also on the hunt for a painter have a bit of body work that needs attention.... anyone up for a bit of work?
Check out grange's and cooks86 cars Chris. Just after be painted by flip and definitely look well.
I know! I was looking at his work looks to be top class.......
Where is he based?
Waterford as far as I know. Flipsideauto I think is his name on Facebook Chris.
Where abouts did you pick up the calliper adapters? What callipers are they off of?
Had to get them made up might be able to get more...
It's a Evo 7 caliper (think 6-8 are all the same) and 350mm disc
Welll its been a LONG LONG time coming but its back and ready for road ( nearly )

Brake worked out nicely
http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i2...psl69ufgea.jpg
So a few suspension bits to double check and grease up the rose-joints and we will be good for the road..
like the wheels :D
Stunning car, top notch stuff :cool:
That's definitely one of the nicest 32s .. What power is it ?
Well hurry and get the finger out Chris.
Awh cheers..... Power wise, it was dyno'd at 345, then it was noticed it was leaking water into cylinder number 5! fixed it and power it defo up again... id say 350+ but boost is at 1 bar and bigger injectors still to go in so fingers crossed we might get close to 400
Man that's class!!! Always loved them in that colour!
Really love this! The brake upgrade is top notch!
You have to tell me how you did the lights so I can do the same with mine..
Was it hard to get that inlet plenum fitted looking at buying one but wondering will the battery be in the way will the vac lines match up and will the standard throttle body fit thanks
this looks awesome man.
Cheers guys!
Inlet is good job, Makes an amazing sound with throttle wide open! If you are at Mondello on Sunday come and have a look if you wanted to see how it works!
