[Lou-Lou]

Defo better mate

Could also get rid of the orange toblerones and change to UK spec...?

Where can I get those??


Car looks awesome, absolutely loving that.... erm.. can I have it?

[Morth666]

Very nice car not too sure about the spoiler but thats personal preference i guess. Are you going to keep it white or is a colour change in its future?
Very nice tho

Lou, I meant replace the toblerones with sidestrips and put the indicators in the wings... but if you're after clear toblerones I'm not too sure Probably ebay?

Ah I see.. no worries then

[Greddy-Matt]

Lol thanks guys I've covered al the electrical wires now too Leon, Your right,indicators in the wing, and the Toblerone's are going for flatties. I just used straight lengths of 3/4/6/8mm to do the hosing

RyanRs what pipes come in the ancillary kit please? Any pics? The paint believe it or not is plasicote metal paint

The car is definately staying white

[Greddy-Matt]

Lockys96- the only thing I'd say is if you already have it use the Key's racing boss as its shorter than most, I have a monster Momo boss on there and can only just reach the indicators from the wheel

[RyanRs]

not got the aux kit meself, but there is 9 hoses, inc are the water kneck to rad cap, various ones under the TB, the one from the oil catch to air filter (i do believe) and the heater matrix coolant lines (1 is big).

the coolant kit has 4 rad hoses up front of car , which are hidden.. and 3 big-uns in the engine bay.

[Harry]

Looking great mate, just hurry up and finish so you can do mine too Is that an ancilliary kit there or just lengths of silicon hosing? If the latter, what was in the Samco box?

Yes please Matt, HURRY; you have orders, 2 cnd in line after Leon.

[Greddy-Matt]

Anytime Harry, only takes an hour or two to do all the hoses, and hide all the wiring etc

Matt, you are adobtable, I mean the whole engine units metal removable parts along with piping,chrome,titanium and other 'luxury' metal material finishes

[Greddy-Matt]

Oh....
Well happy to do what I can Id say you could do it all (if you'r painting rather than sending parts away for coating etc) in about 2 days if its dry+have light, not scrabbling around in the dark with torch

Firewall heat shield is off and will be painted tonght, cant for the life of me find how the turbo shield is mounted tho?

p.s. there is a company that does gold plating on cam covers etc if you feel the need to get rid of a lot of cash

[Harry]

LOL [*Gold-Plating] Yummy!

[Greddy-Matt]

A few more bits all painted up...

[Leon.]

There are two bolts on the top that you can see, and one down the back which you need to feel for. Be very careful with the studs, use lots of WD40 / plusgas and work it back AND forth half a turn at a time.

Good progress mate

[Greddy-Matt]

Cheers Leon, the heatshields are the only grotty bit left really The top bolts are missing on mine Just the one on the back for me

That's gotta give you some vibrations / rattles?

[Greddy-Matt]

Oddly, no Although it's been wedged in at the top with a nut No matter It'll have nice new bolts on it soon

Blue bolts are off, and had these delivered yesterday:


Installed the new bolts re-painted HT lead casing and oil catch tank last night, still need to cut down the samco TB to intercooler pipe tho :

[tubby_mr2]

What color bolts next mat lol looking good thou wanna do mine for me next time i'm in the Hordle???

[Greddy-Matt]

Sure thing sticking with the gold now tho!
Grrrr found out why i couldnt find the bolts, some numpty has sheared all the blimin nuts off level wth the heatshield and they have rusted over. Going to have to try and extract them somehow

[Greddy-Matt]

Few more bits done,





Alloy bolts have lightened the car by nearly 3kg lol
