Don't want to alarm you.

BUT
I've heard some bad stories about the quality of the Hi-Spec kit.

Kenny @ Checkpoint must have put a 1 in front of the price for the brake lines.He should have just charged you about £50 for the set
.
Nice looking motor by the way
Should look good when it's done

More recent pics with Eyebrow, new kidney,Scorpion Full System and also someone suggested installing Xenon kit.
I'm not convinced that the eyebrow looks good will wait til it's finished before I decide

I think that would spoil the look just going for a basic luxury look inside.

Thats OK

Just gone and got me a cooler

Looks to be a perfect size for the front of the tourer.

Let me know what you think of the Hi-Spec brake kit

It's a bit like the setup on my tourer
The only differences are disc diameter and the £Â£Ã‚£

Wouldn't mind having a good look at the car when it's done

Measures 600x450x45mm and should fit nicely in front of the rad

Thinks it could be the "elusive" Volvo 960 one

Overton had 2 of them

BUTT


wanted £45 + vat


Got this one for £15+ postage

Pm me your number and i can let you have a look at it
I work in Aberdeen anyways
P.S.

Already got a manifold/Garrett t04 turbo and a set of throttle bodies

AND

If you'd got in touch with ME, there's a good chance i could have saved you some £Â£Ã‚£Ã‚£Ã‚£ on a brake kit

fitting harness to seats that recline or fold forward is not a good idea as you can end up snapping the seat if you have an accident.

looking good mate. them brakes look mega and the interior, i odnt even want to guess at how muc that has cost.

nice work
