Sorivity Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 So had a rather successful weekend with a close friend this weekend, Managed to get my apex type 2 front mount fitted! With neither of us having any experience on a Silvia OR a turbo car, we were in the dark with this one! Starting at 10am and finishing at half 5, outside in the cold with a head torch thing, ran into many problems, took us over 2 hours alone to get the front bumper off. problems getting just 1 side light out (just 1?), had to fabricate 2 small brackers (maybe 10cm by 2cm) <-- took 45 mins and broke 3 drill bits??? Not currently finished as we ran out of light, its all fitted but have had to purchase a new intake as i cant run the stock airbox as the piping is in the way! (great excuse ) have still got to refit the wheels, remount the horn(s), re-fit bumper sidelights and headlights. soooooo the car is sat on the drive for a week on axle stands. car is idling very lumpy as too much air too so not really been able to test it out but doesn't seem to be any leaks or anything as of yet have also added a photos of when it was washed on Saturday and of the dash, still not finished hopefully have it done next weekend 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krzys Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Looks good.Reminds me of when i fitted my front mounted intercooler.After 200 ish miles, go back and check you jubilee clups are still tight. If none pop off before then! I remember on my brother's Pulsar with his new front mount, booted it out of a petrol station and fired a corner join off and some kid running up the road to bring it back (amazingly he didn't just run off with it )!
