Well. i've had the manifold for a while, so decided to stick it on today. All went well, no real problems, just tricky getting the manifold out as space was, well, tight.
All the old crap
The engine bay without it all, note new manifold gasket
Needed to remove airbox and all hoses to it, starter motor, and undo the radiator fan housing to allow it to be moved a few inches for clearence
New manifold ready to be fitted
No i did n't heat wrap it, could 'nt find any locally, if needed i'll remove it at a later date and add some
At last its in position
Finished
Did it all by myself, even jacked up the car properlly
Most say, the engine bay looks a lot nicer without the aps system.
Started it up, no problems, so i have n't knacked anything up (makes a change) LOL
