Just to put it into perspective for everyone..

Scott rocked up at 2pm and the intercooler, exhaust, headers and up pipe all off by 3.30pm. Headers and up pipe back on really quick say about 4.30pm. Kel jumped under the cad to use her little fingers to get the dump pipe back on apart from one of the fixed bolts had come off instead of the nut. We couldn't get it on so the whole dump pipe off again, put in new thread and back on again. Dave and Kel put the exhaust on really easily. Exhaust and headers done by around 6.00pm. Dave left and Scott and I decided to do the gauges... By 10.00pm the gauges were done apart from the water temp as the fittings didn't fit the radiator temp point.

Start the car, wide band AFM working, oil temp not. Ran can for about 10 minutes with no change. Get out and oil around sensor and floor... Fuck.

Intercooler off at 10.45pm, sensor out, plate back on... Send Scott home...

The sensor is slightly smaller thread than the plate screw... Scott has to get 2 sensors for oil and water temp so it'll work. All the wires are run so pretty easy from here on in...

Loved every minute of it, between Dave's jokes, kel's dirty mouth, Scott's stories it was fantastic! Then drunken neighbors giving us helpful hints topped the night off!

Car sounded mint aswell mate!
