Well I sorta guessed it might have something to do with him hehe

Art work Glenn, art work!
That last pic is pure porn! looking good glen
not much room for the full 3"downpipe & exhaust in there, with the kinda power your looking for its definetly worth the effort
is this being built purely for drag racing?
I see you have done away with the fan for the heaters on the Bulkhead , what you going to do for de-misting the windows ?
ive been really considering getting rid of mine or trying to duct it in a tidy way just cant decide what to do even considering a remote fan of some kind .
Looking good goto be a 10 in there now
never thought about that nice idea
i stripped the dash and loom out mine the day and was surprised how much weight is in that heater box i think id like try to keep the heater in situ maybe try rerouting the pipework somehow . bit more room in the enginebay and i dont need to worry about waterpipes running along the back of the manifold /downpipe
id love to lose the servo aswell but thats another £££ job i cant afford at the moment
well done lads looking good
started to pipe up cooler today and had brooky helping out on oil cooler pipes

stunning! brilliant work glen!
Looking quality glen have you changed your throttle body from the last manifold set up
Glen, looks awesome
Out of curiosity looks like you may need a twin pas intercooler? also why does the exhaust manifold not have equal length pipes? Just curious, awesome project. Keep up the top work?
Just admiring the engine bay of you car in the pics again glen and sorry if I sound stupid but is there a stud missing from the rocker shaft mate that comes up through the rocker cover is this a secret mod

Looking good glen getting full in the bay now lol. Was thinking of using some ash hoses on mine
Looks fantastic, really looking forward to you getting 10s
Straight down to 9's?
lol i was thinking the same...... sod the 10s then?
i wish 10.8 will do
New setup looks awesome mate!
loving the progress being made here fella, another r5gtt into the 10s coming soon
i think you will have all of the club willing you into the 10s mate. what sort of power are you expecting with the new set up?
haha you and that gas
it makes roughly 300bhp on the old spec off gas doesnt it? bloody impressive for a 1.4
im pretty sure scoff will more than enjoy that challenge

at last my custom springs and top caps arrived so managed to get a little more done on the car as well as some fueling a little behind shedule
great project nice exhaust manifold. should of said as i have a spare tubular manifold i was thinking of selling
should imagine theres some scaffolding supporting the weight of it
Looking good fella! What coil packs are you running?
how come you need 4 if its wasted spark?
crazy lol
Its individual coils tony, each is a high-output coil with inbuilt ignitor. The problem with making a lot of power from a small engine is that it's very hard to keep the spark going. With the 4x coils on glenns engine the air:fuel can be down in the 9s and it'll still pull clean as a whistle
