we fixed the fitment difficulties. I reckon the fit is now 95% OEM. slight uneven panel gap near quarter panels, very acceptable

The front reinforcement bar needs to be cut to size at the ends to fit the bumper

intercooler shroud sits well around the intercooler, it would require trimming to fit your individual intercooler.

brake duct guides look to be very usable as I have mentioned previously. just need a solution at the rotor! we will be addressing this next.

The oil and tranny coolers need some tweaking of their brackets so that the coolers sit flush with the cutouts on either side, the effect when positioned right is excellent.

Overall I am very happy with the end product. If you are a track junkie then I reckon this bumper will be for you, I will however partially reserve judgement until I can investigate the brake ducting solution and its function out on the track. Also, if you are considering this bumper though you will need to budget for quite a lengthy install and some fabrication of the cooler brackets

this is a photo from the guys at the workshop. I will get some more detail shots soon.

a few pics, car filthy but being in and out of the shop for ongoing mods means no time for cleaning! (reminds me of dirty dee of pootie tang fame!) will give it a wash before next track day

    • Pre-empting heat management  1. The Kraken manifold will be ceramic coated 2. Just purchased some peel and stick heat shielding stuff from car builders, I'll cover some of the firewall behind the dump and a little on the cam cover, this will be done prior to installation as I have ample room to get where I need to now before that realestate has more bits in the way, I'm also planning to modify the OEM heat shield to go back on, but that won't happen until after installation so I know where to hack it up, I'll also cover it with some some peel and stick to neaten it up after the hacking 3. As the dump is stainless with a flex joint coating isn't really a option, and wrapping isn't recommended for a stainless dump, so once it is installed I'll grab some shielding from car builders to cover the dump, as it has some stand off, it "shouldn't" cause any issues and it "should" just keep the radiant heat away from " melty engine bay stuff" Not for heat management, but I've grabbed some more black crinkle coat to paint all the shiny intake pipes, I'll pick the pipe work up prior to installation and use the paint booth and big oven at work to cure them, I'll then wrap them with some bubble wrap so they stay nice during installation

Thanks guys and hope to see you there!
    • YO- have been searching and searching for an a31 chassis plug pinout, or someone who knows which wire is for tach.  ceffy was flooded past dash during a hurricane.  having an electrical gremlin appear. tach is wonky reading consistent with a short, and on occasion the right side of my speedo lighting will flicker just for a second then go back to normal.  if no pinout available does anyone know if the tach harness opens or branches anywhere behind the dash? im suspecting a possible root behind the radio as there are more shorts in that area on the accessory loop.
    • Means something is not set up right, tune/calibration related.  
    • Finally replaced the previous temporary mesh indicator surrounds (temporary was the last 10+ years 😂) with a 3D printed GTR style version for the front indicators. I think it looks a lot nicer than the old setup and at least the indicators now point in the correct direction rather than angled off. Needed a little bit of tweaking to deal with the intercooler piping but got there in the end. Old and new photos below.
