Haha yeah, she's only 60mm but the small wheels slam it. I found out about the airbox after doing it :/ I havnt got much room after fitting fmic pipes, may get a cda filter later on
After the stage 1 map I decided to remove the aircon system and fit the shorter belt 6pk 1173. This decision was made after I found a pipe with a split. First thing was to rip the radiator out.

After the rad was removed the next step was to get the compressor out.

After that all the pipe work had to be removed, untill the day I have the dash out ive simply just unbolted the pipes out of the bulkhead and cut them out.

While all this was going on I decided to be a bit of a tart and colour code the slam panel while it was off, do the expansion cap and engine mount.

The last thing to do now was drop the pump and and fit the belt before reasemmbling.

The next step was putting it all back together, while in the engine bay I found a lovley hole in the k&n filter so bought a cheap but surprising nice ramair filter from ebay. While on ebay I also slipped and bought a de-badged grille to fit. To solve the bonnet issue I have removed the badge and and temp put a bonnet bra over to hide the hole till I can afford to do all the body work
