Just trying to keep it chugging along, so it's all fitted and running sweet so can enjoy it in the summer for some B road blasting!! Just got to pay my card off now so can buy a Predator!
Next update in a few weeks will be 4 pots fitting, Arb fitting and Group n and Faulkner suspension on!!
I like the way yours sits with the 155lb faulkner and group n's!! Time for another 8v now!!

Nice ill keep an eye out on this then , yeah it sits pretty well scrapped my lower strut brace on a speed bump last night so it is pretty low lol.
Did you go for the 155lb's in the end then? i cant be arsed to look back  .
Indeed Alex-VTS is going to be hocking me up by fitting it before FCS hopefully

No I havnt got springs yet - I'm in no rush to buy them so am going to wait until some come onto the Market cheaper than rrp. and but them - or when I've got money I'll just buy them - am saving for mapping at the mo, want to get it all on as is no fun having £1k+ worth of stuff gathering dust in your bedroom!! Hope to have them on by the end of April.
Yours that low to scrape it on a speed bump?! doesn't look that low!

Thanks guys, I'm just taking a short break to pay off a few bills and the next update is going to be the bodies fitted in around a months time hopefully!!
Just need to buy now:
Hi spec discs
Faulkner 170lbx240mm springs
Jenvey Sausage filter
New drop links
New strut bearings
New ball joints
I'm planning on giving the suspension a bit of an overhall when I fit the group n's as want everything in tip top condition.
When I get the bodies on I'll update with a few video's with the noise of them! Will have to find a local tunnel for a nice oral performance!!

Sounds good - get a progress thread up so people can see your progress! What sort of mods have you done to your Westy?

You have a very envious setup their Raunchz and it somthing I hope to aspire too, I really look forward to seeing how you get on with the Jenvey TB's and what results you achieve with the Predator & indeed the integration.
May I ask why you choice the Jenvey throttle bodies? did you ever consider the GSXR1000 bodies which Sandy/Colin can modify to work with there inlet manifold & indeed the standard fuel rail?

I went for this set up as there was a group buy going for 30% discount plus a reduced price inlet and getting the 42mm bodies tapered to fit 45mm horns by Colin.
I'm confident in Andy that'll I'll get good results with the 'Predator' and it hasnt worked out that expensive as id bought from group buys and carefully 2nd hand.
Can't wait for early may, already penciled time in to get it all mapped up!!! Will sound awesome!!!

Maybe 200lbx240mm would be better?!

UPDATE!!
I've just received the air filter for the Tb's and I think a lot of the bulkhead is going to have to come off!! Will have a look at it this weekend.
Have booked some time to get the Predator and Lc-1 wideband fitted and mapped early May - is going to be unreal when it's all mapped up and going!!
Have been a bit strapped for cash so am holding off getting discs for the 4 pots and custom faulkners - should have them in the next few months so the cars complete for the summer!!
Have bought some strut top bearings and track rod ends to give the suspension a bit of a refresh when the bilstein group n's go on!!
Keep your eye out for updates in the next few weeks as the S2 is going on!!!
A further update is Ive just finished doing a 3 plug Vts conversion on my brothers Furio - had cone out great and we hit no problems! There is now 2 16v conversion in the family, his seems to go well and the oil cooler is keeping his temperatures down.
