Yet again this cars pissing me off.
Only good thing from today was i Bought the stuff to put the battery in the boot or behind my seat not sure yet.
Also started chucking the T28 together and nothing seems to fit right.
Paid £37 for a turbo flange( well ripped off) that fits ok but carnt get the dame pipe from there to the airflow unit.
Also the hard piping wont line up to the turbo elbow looks like i need to get a bit of piping made up but i have ran out of cash and this meaning i carnt do my drift day.
The car will not run now till after christmas which is CRAP dosnt help the fact i really dont know what i am doing.
So yet again i hate the car.

Got myself a bit o cash for my birthday which i have already started spending on the car.
Bought a sparco buket seat and a momo snap-off boss so i can take the steering wheel off the car and bring it a little closer to me when its on.
Also going to get the other little bits i need to have the car running but as i am not going drifting nextweekend i am in no big hurry.

Bought a sparco bucket seat and snap off boss. ![[Linked Image]](http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h287/donnatony/Picture203.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h287/donnatony/Picture202.jpg) Just need to get the seat fitted. And the boss is on brings the wheel nice and close now. Having trouble lining the turbo elbow up to the hard pipe from the fmic anybody have any idea's do i need to cut the pipe or do i need to get one made up.

Thats great that fella, some good plans and even better to see you are happy to put the effort in again, I know it was starting to get on your nerves recently and putting you off even being arsed with it at times, but keep up the hard work fella, it will be worth it in the end!!

It will matey.
I have learnt now that when i get pissed off with things going wrong i just leave it for a while.
I am getting neil at park garage (fella who is doing stu's car) to sort the tubby and fmic out proply for me as it needs bits that i carnt do or make once this is done its just about getting bit n bobs.
The cage might be here quicker than i thought though not saying i have it but looks promising.

Going for the Sil80 look  You do know that to fit the lights and grille, you also need a matching front bumper, wings, bonnet, and maybe slam pannel...?
