My New IS V8 Build - Sparkystav - 16-02-2018

looks good mate, like the bumper


My New IS V8 Build - Asi - 16-02-2018

thanks guys. the bumper looks good in the pics but when you see it in real life it does not look good. the guy who i bought it off says the carbon needs sanded and lacquered but i don't get the point in me spending extra money doing that so its getting sent back this week and probably buy one off EP racing.

What about the rest of the bumper apart from the CF. Is it in good condition?

EP Racing site states that bumper is out of stock! Is it true? Have you contact them?


My New IS V8 Build - Asi - 16-02-2018

yeah the rest of the bumper looks fine not tried fitting because the side wings are not on.
i remember my cousin says he gets discount form EP racing so he phoned up and they said they will have in stock in May. i am going to phone up tomorrow and see what they say

The engine got in yesterday and the engine has move forward a little bit noticed that after fitting the Alternator so will need to fit all the turbo and radiator to see if there is still space for the turbo
the manual box sits right in place.

Great to see the engine back in :biggrin:

Hope you don't run out of room for the turbo and then end up with a big headache there.

Mount the turbo on top of the engine sticking out the bonnet!

the engine moved a little bit forward. i reckon there is still room for the turbo. the garage is free tomorrow so hopefully the mechanic will get a full day on my car. will get some pics with the alternator fitted tomorrow and the gear stick is in place and all gear changes are perfect.
