What have you used on the inlet manifold to go to the intercooler? Is all your IC pipework 63mm?

Does the shock absorber just screw into the bearing at the top, then you bolt it to the strut tower?
Front hub set up looks great

Thanks Matt.
Yes exactly like that. Im guessing its going to be a bit of a harsher ride seeing that you dont have the rubber topmount.

I had a rear brace made up. The beauty of being a CAD technician is I can draw up what I need and have our fabricator bloke make it up.

Some more pipes turned up so I got the rad hoses trimmed, joined and in place.
![13378943744_edded63d97_c.jpg 13378943744_edded63d97_c.jpg](https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7396/13378943744_edded63d97_c.jpg)

RSs are now rebuilt. To clear the front calipers I am having to use 12mm spacers. This gave way too much poke so I rebuilt the wheels with the centres facemounted.
![13378727863_e94b3d8cb9_c.jpg 13378727863_e94b3d8cb9_c.jpg](https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7349/13378727863_e94b3d8cb9_c.jpg)
and finally I made a start on the headlight loom. The original one had been chopped about quite a bit so I popped down to the scrappy and picked up a second loom. This one was in much better condition so hopefully I can make one good one out of the two.
