Stoney If ya fancy giving it a go, either changing tops or patching the hole, the whole rad is yours for postage cost, sub £10 I'd imagine.
Cheers dude that's very kind of ya.
I'll see how I get on with threading a barb onto the broken bit and if that fails I'll definitely be PM'ing ya.

Almost a fine art now
This time when we pull all the TB off though I'm gonna give it a good old clean out with some TB cleaner while I've got the opportunity.
I've also got some ever-so-slightly larger o-rings on order as I noticed the OEM ones are minutely thicker. Fingers crossed they come before thurs...but I dont think it will be a big deal if they dont.

Can't wait to see the finalised and mapped supercharger results!
Because the kit you bought was from the US and so designed for a LHD car; did you have any fitment issues when installing in your UK RHD car?

Just been catching up on Jims car! Awesome machine!

I had a few fitting issues. For starters the USA IS300's have deeper bumpers so they have more room in front of the radiator for an intercooler (I had to hack mine quite a bit). Also they don't have headlight washers, so I had to ditch those and also run a smaller washer fluid tank.
There was a few other small bits too, like bolts in the wrong place, but nothing massive that completely halted the install.

Also I had a quick shot at a 0-60 on the Scangauge. Unfortunately it would seem I came off a little too early as it only registered up to 57, but I kinda needed to stop for a T junction

Put together a quick video today. My editing skills are pretty poor and Windows Movie Maker doesn't help...but meh:
