Engine mounts will be a MUST HAVE given how close the DP is to the Prop. There is a small 2mm gap:

nice, thanks for that Bill!

I get paid in a week so I'll get the mounts sorted - what do you recommend?

Westle the WM tank and pump will be going in the boot. The tank will be mounted on the fairly useless right handside with the pump beneath. We did contemplate putting it in the spare wheel well, but I'd rather keep the spare.
 
Looks very nice, quite jealous lol.

What exhaust you running dane?
 
Hello,

All looks good, what the plan with the engine mounts?? Uprated or some sort of spacers for clearance??
 
It lives! Video to come when Im home,

it sounds mint! It's a Milltek with the special tail pipes.

Bill reckons it's worth up rating all mounts, so I'll do that - next month lol
 


Excuse the sidewaysness and my excited laughter!

dont want to know how you can so readily identify the sound of another dude having an orgasm :undwech: lol
 
Very happy! mapping tomorrow then WMI then playtime!
 
Not that kind of playtime either westle!
 
get some vids up of "playtime" aswell! but not if its the sort of playtime westle apparently dabbles in :ninja: lol
 
cheers bud, it sounds even better in real life.

I can't wait to see either but I'm trying not to think about it, what ever it comes out at it will be fantastic to drive!
 
just wait till you come over to Bills, we'll go for a spin!
 
I love driving mine it puts a huge smile on my face every time i press the loud pedal
 
Hats off to you Dane and Bill!

Where did you get you Milly from? Looks and sounds immense!

I'm more than happy to part with my hard earned dollar in this case lol

We can go for a quick spin if you like, I am quite curious to see how the exhaust behaves at cruising speeds too
