Default Build Update

Well after I decided to write off the ZVH off and go the zetec route it's finally in



Bit of a squeeze, tho had to remove one of the top chassis rails in the engine bay and the inlet touched the steering column



But after a bit of fettling hopefully there is enough clearance now!



This arrived today as well!

nice work James .....pleased to see someone else taking the charge cooler route, you wont regret it as it will bring the charge temps way down, much more efficient than a air/air jobby (much smaller too)
