Yes i converted the pipe fittings by drilling them out and fitting a 3/8 helicoil,then ordered the adapters from Goodrich.

[northy]

arr thought as much. Have been considering it on 0171 but i havent been ablt to find any adapters.

[snowman]

Ive got all the part numbers youll need somewhere in my records,just need to get the ally fuelrail helicoiled mate.

[donsrno1]

Really jealous of that tbh mate. Can't believe how mint that looks!!!

THAT LOOKS THE BOLLOCKS........................oop's caps lock, nice one 8)

[snowman]

ITB's are still on the cards for next year sometime but not atm,I dont know what the part number for the rail is Andy,its the earlier ally one rather than the plastic black one,I adapted it to fit the Goodrich connectors on,its not difficult at all,just need someone to helicoil it out first.

Thanks very much for the comments everyone,its been a real pain sometimes and more than once ive lost hope and interest when things werent going right,lol,but now its in and almost there its been worth it,not to mention the knowledge ive picked up doing it aswell,cheers also to all those people ive had bits and advice from along the way :wink:

(oscar speech over) :lol:

[Laine_16v]

Nearly ready for stan?? Stans guna rip all that work apart and put 'manly' stuff like grease and oil everywhere :lol: Nah jokes, enjoy the KMS 8)

[cliokiz]

Don't do what i did after cleaning up the engine by and forget to put the oil filler cap back on after topping up with oil.

I then went driving down the motorway and wondered what all the blue smoke was about...

Opened the bonnet and i could have cried, oil EVERYWHERE, lol....

Looks mint though!

[bluenose]

That is mint! Any updates or has been quiet over winterfest?
I can smell a feature in PFC :D
