I also bought some ebay radiator hoses, they aren't as bright blue as they appear in the photos, They look quite tough so I am happy iwth my purchase $60 not bad.

$60 bro that's dirt cheap last time time I checked it was $80
On eBay they only seem to list 93 to 99 turbo hoses so are you sure these are the right ones?

Even if they are 93 on they'll be fine, I've used them on a 91 3s.

I believe a couple of the hoses are different, for sure the one that goes up onto the thermostat housing would be different.

It is slightly diff, not too much. Front ones could be slightly shorter, but all went on and worked.

Good to hear that they will end up fitting. On other news... I've started putting together ITB's to go on next year sometime, got the manifold sorted, now i just need to buy some throttles, linkages and trumpets.

This will be a fantastic sounding 3sge when finished. Great to see you have gone down this path.
How far are you going with weight reduction?
Do you have a figure in mind?

Well just as a base starting point I had the car cornerweighed last year, It got 1235kg with half a tank of fuel and all my audio equipment. I think I would only go as far as replacing the boot/engine/bonnet lids with OEM shape carbon fiber. I don't feel like stripping the car out. It will still be driven atleast 3-4 times a week.

Just a mock fitting of the gagues, there might be small problems in space/fitment.

The crankshaft is in, The pistons and rods are going in tomorrow. This has been a slow rebuild but its getting to the end now. As for the gauge fitment this is what it will look like for now, later I will swap the position of the gauges with the CD player, for a smoother look.

I cant wait till tomorrow when the head etc go on! The gauges can also be switched to a red colour, In the future I want to set them up to go red when temps/pressure gets critical.
