I discovered that despite my best efforts with the 3M tape, the back end of my TRD skirts has come away from the body...

[Image: DSC_0339.jpg]

So I had a little workshop session and made myself some 'Ormi Clips' named as such because he did a little DIY when he made his.

First thing was to cut the correct shape out of some 3mm Aluminium out of the scrap bin...

[Image: DSC_0338.jpg]

I then marked and drilled a 6.5mm hole in each one...

[Image: DSC_0342.jpg]

Leaving me with these...

[Image: DSC_0344.jpg]

I then realised that the inside surface behind the arch lip isn't actually flat, so I put a fold in each one so it still sits flat where the screws go through...

[Image: DSC_0345.jpg]

And my nice shiny clips ready to be fitted...

[Image: DSC_0346.jpg]

I haven't put them on yet, but once they are on they should hold the skirts nice and flush like this...

I'll get my local powerflow to shorten the midpipe to allow for the thickness of the ECV, but I'll also get them to shorten it a bit more just so the tip doesn't stick out quite as much, as the Greddy Ti-C I've got is designed for the deeper USDM bumpers.

Here's a video of what I've bought...

I've decided to do a few smaller jobs for now, so I've just bought myself an electronic exhaust control valve so I can make the car a bit quieter for 'normal' driving, and then open it up for tunnel runs or if I just want to make a bit of noise Smile

I've not really heard anything about them tbh, but they look solidly built. And for £100 with 1 year warranty I can just send it back if it breaks. Smile

cheers for the pm btw Stav.

Couple of packages arrived today Smile

First up was my Clifford 507M Tilt/Vibration Sensor...

[Image: DSC_0353.jpg]

And also my electronic exhaust control valve...

It's much chunkier that I expected, and comes with a pair of gaskets and some nice thick stainless flanges to weld onto your pipes after you chop out a section for the ECV, including the flanges it weighs 1.2kg!

[Image: DSC_0351.jpg]

And here's a video I took when I tested it earlier...
