...washer bottle in the world!
Here's the bad boy:
Even the sound of the iTBs on full chat is drowned out by the mighty washer bottle. Serious power... 
BIG thanks to Lee, Paul and Aron for all their help yesterday. Cheers doods. 
We managed to relocate the battery and washer bottle to the rear of the car. Paul came up with genius idea (much to Matt's dismay) of running the power cable through the roof area, which worked a treat! Nice one Paul.
The battery:
Aron stayed on till gone 11pm, helping me service the calipers. Big thanks dude. The brakes feel great now!  I had a chance to get a ride in his Clio too, man, I was very impressed. Much quicker than I was expecting! Really love the car man.

Sweet man! Did you use the original pump? If so they are very noisy but normally drowned out by road noise and all the soundproofing behing the bulkhead

And the irony being, there's nothing else to do with my car that's even remotely whorish.
Thanks again for your help!

Thanks bud. I'm not sure TBH. Paul had already put the bottle together while I was out buy bits from Halfords. Will need to find out. Seriously, it's the loudest thing I've ever heard.

Thanks chap.
I don't know if the Saxo's are the same as the 106's... You can see where the red cable goes to in the pic, ja? It then runs up along the side of the roof and comes back out near to where the fuse box is. You'll need to have a fully stripped car, or it will be a bit of a nightmare.

Yeah, I lie a lot. 
Seemed like a good idea at the time. The bottle was only a tenner from Ebay.

Cheers Jimbo!
The battery fitment is temporary. I will be getting a nice battery tray like so:
I will also be getting lot's of that black plastic tubing stuff to neaten up all the loose cables.

I told you it was worth doing you fibbing man'gina.
Just to let you know, I had a session this Friday just gone, the lads were all impressed by your car in the rolling road vids.
Seemed so much more awesome after a few shots of 'ol Jack.

Hehe. I can't be right about everything...
I took Aron for a spin the other night. Perhaps he'll give a fair assesment on the car. It pulls well from 3000rpm, so I'm VERY curious what effect the longer trumpets are going to have. I was sitting at that rpm in 2nd, so around 15mph I guess? Booted it to 100 in around 10 seconds I think.

Thanks Lewis!
There's a company called FlockInCar. I think their Email is: Flockincar@live.co.uk. The chap I dealt with was called Adey.
I added the bits of CF afterwards...
ATPower said a few weeks ago that the longer trumpets are being made. No word yet. So it'll be after Xmas before anything happens now.

Length wise, the trumpets are 40mm. I'm putting 90mm ones on...
