After being off the road for about a year and a half, my car is finally back on the road. It got parked up with the intention of pulling the engine and replacing some seals and cleaning it up a bit. During the process I somehow managed to ruin the clutch slave cylinder, it just stopped building pressure and bypassing. I replaced it and continued with putting it back together.
Once it was back in and ready for its first run around the block, in all my excitement I forgot the fill the power steering fluid up and cooked the pump
further setting things back.
After getting the car back to a drivable state, it passed its blue slip with flying colours.
I soon realized that after driving it for a bit my catch can hoses had completely perished over the time. The catch can came off and I set out to get some braided hoses to replace them. With the catch can out I figured I would have a crack at building an intake as I didnt like the blue one that was in it originally.
The intake is made out of 3" stainless tube, it's not quiet finished just yet, I'm waiting on a silicone reducer. Once I get the final length I'll drill the holes for the respective fittings and paint it black.

I will get some more shots once it's closer to being complete.
Also, I've been checking the for sale threads over the last few weeks and I seems really dead compared to what it used to be? Is the forum dying out?
