thats what i thought when it was all bolted up, will just have to run a bit of pipe from their to the air filter, i'll try my best to keep it as clean as it is

as for the brakes got 330mm drilled and grooved fronts with brembo 4 pot's and 305mm drilled and grooved rear's with 4wd calipers

dont forget about my roll cage matey

i was painting bit's when i was at work without getting caught by my boss

and completely forgot to be honest, i dont think the paint will last that long on the housing either probably wont last long on any of it

lamb chops · 02-12-2006, 08:39 PM

Ah i see, was going to paint mine along with the manifold but if its will peel off I may not bother

Keep up the good work

Puss2 · 02-12-2006, 08:43 PM

I would leave the front like that ron looks

Keep up the good work

on the can it said good enough up to 1400 degrees fahrenheit so its worth a try? just make sure you get the proper stuff theirs cheaper stuff that dont go as high

hopefully might have it running next week

getting excited now

also got another set of buckets so if anyone's interested in the recliner buckets let me know

looking sweet Ronnie

On the subject of painting the Turbo Housing... Mine was painted before i bought the car 2 years ago and its nice n smooth) looks factory and hasn't pealed or flaked at all.

not too sure which paint was used tho.

RST · 10-12-2006, 10:22 AM

RONNIE AMIS · 15-12-2006, 06:05 PM

aint had a chance to take many pic's lately

been doing bits and bobs waiting for my tanks to come back from the powder coaters fit the exhaust then should be able to start it hopefully

one pic i fitted the oil cooler and remote oil filter had a couple of haters where i put the oil filter, tried mounting it on the inner wing but not enough space really,

will take my camera in next week and get some better pic's

let me know wot u think cheers

cheers

was going to make some ducts to fill the gap's but i like it as it is, just going to make something up to cover the inside of the headlights, some people like them and some don't i suppose, will be putting the prop on and exhaust so will get some more pic's up

cheers for all the comments

Sticky. · 17-12-2006, 08:32 PM

Not long now mate....keep it up

STUCOS · 17-12-2006, 10:26 PM

Hi ronnie,was out looking at mine today,and there is no room for a duct with the base headlights and 500 cooler,so i am leaving mine blank,but think it will look ok as in going the scandinavian route and riveting my kit on

cheeRS Stu

yours will look

done some more bits tonite, no pic's though

fitted the prop shaft, exhaust, alternator, power steering pipe's changed the oil re wired the plugs for the amal valve all to do now for it to fire up is wire the relay for the fuel pump and plug the ecu in, i'm scared now

got a call today to say my tanks and rear strut brace are ready to pick up from the powder coaters

RUSSELLB1904 · 19-12-2006, 10:49 AM

I love that.

Looks smart and tidy.

Would love a 3dr myself.

Good work and keep it up

Black_RS · 19-12-2006, 12:32 PM

Love this! I think you're right about the headlights - just needs a neat little trim made up to neaten up the edge of the headlights - i'm sure Twins could knock something up...

RONNIE AMIS · 20-12-2006, 08:05 PM

fotted my tanks today, well happy with the way they came out

the place only charged me 50 quid to do the header tank, breather tank, power steering tank, swirl pot and rear strut brace, thought that was pretty reasonable?

fitted the exhaust up

fitted everything on and fired the beast up

fired up first time

just got to reset the t,p,s on the secs moniter it says the throttle is 100% on idle? then when i press it down counts down then goes to 90% anyone know how i do it? well happy that it started though

Sticky. · 20-12-2006, 08:17 PM
