Re: 1991 480 ES "Williams" 2.0 16v conversion!
Just enough is how I'd describe it haha
3d printed brackets bonded to screen, it's on there !
Pics show it fitting poorly as was only taped on in most of the pics so it fits a little more snug

Re: Remap??
it is worth noting that if i was to do it aaallll again, you could maybe almost half the cost i have spent over the years, by being clever and shopping around, biding your time etc etc! alot of the expense was from when i was less experienced so would pay someone to do work, as I learn I can save mo...

Re: Remap??
Hi Spainal, I admire your enthusiasm! In 2021, I would raise the following two points... 1) Times have changed from the Richmod era 2000-2005. 480's at that time were getting scrapped like disposable paper cups. Every scrap yard in the land had a 440/480 Turbo breaking. The B18FT has some unique en...

No of course that's the final fitted example...
Just for fitment trials haha, final cones are actually much shorter than the sum of these, above is a worse case scenario stack, track rod has a similar instance too!

Re: Rescue car: R6 - our first GT
i'll check condition of my spare GT front bumper (i know the splitter is well, split and the fogs are well, buggered) but id happily swap bumper for bumper if you want to keep the fogs from this one - it'll be "better" and saves the expense of paint, i just like having a spare but the colour means n...
