The std headsheild wouldnt fit with the new turbo and fittings so i decided to make my own

is really sturdy and looks pretty cool if i may say so

also shown is a new works thermostat housing, more fittings and a new Tarcal GGR header tank and swirl pot


(breater is slanted as its not fixed to the wing yet)













once the new engine is fitted, it should be finished!

 

good work there m8

 

show off again

 

dave you have issues

 

looks ermmm expensive lol

 

 

cheers guys

i think all the aftermarket ally heat sheilds look a bit tacky/wank. I spose in this case, simplest is the best?

i have had to bar think automotives number from all my phones

 

Quick question dave, may sound stupid, but do you have only one oil breather/catch tank? i.e.the mirror tank?

pete

 

dave still no fookin pm

 

Looks top Dave, well done

 

Looks good....

All that bling and 2 blue shite connectors on the coil

 

very bling matey

 

dave is the aeroquip king

 

errrr new engine?????? have I missed something Dave?

 

It's all in the detail - I approve .

 

Is the header tank not going to be done in that stupid colour again?

I like the pump though - that's proper (You KNOW you only bought it to fit some more aeroquip!)

 

cheers guys

LOL @ dingy.. cant believe i got a compliment out of you believe me mate, if i could aeroquip electrical fittings for the coil, i would!

Mike, im so glad it has your seal of approval..

 

Dave whats the differance with the thermo housing, and have you bought a new seal that goes were the thermostate fits ?

Dave.

PS did you ever fit the new temp sender in your rad ?

 

Dave,

the thermostat housing has had all the sd push on lugs cut off and JIC fittings fitted. It also has quick release fittings and inside, the hole directly in front of the thermostat has been blanked to aid constant temps. Very cool

i shall replace the front therm seal, ill prob ring GGR as they are pretty good for bits like that.

havent got the new rad switch yet.. its next on my list.. im toying with the idea of getting an ally rad anyway

 

I like it alot

 

Looking good

Bit of advise regarding the heatsheild, take it off and put some aluminised heat resistant cloth on the side nearest the turbo, Think Auto sell this (AGC2 is the one you want, 1 metre is more than enough). Use some contact adhesive to bond the pieces together then trim the excess. At the moment you have a heat transfer device

Also to tidy up the coil wiring you could use some heat shrink (the type with glue inside) to cover the blue connectors, looks better and stops water getting into where the wire and connector join

 

And next children, Wes is going to show us a model Zoo he made earlier using Fairy liquid bottles, pipe cleaners and sticky back plastic

 

Love this car!! Everything on it seems to be well thought out Dave Be good to see it this year, you goin to any shows so i can have a quick neb??

 

Zoo scenes and fairly liquid bottles are old hat Lee, now heres what i did earlier with some lego:

 

what gearbox you running dave?? you still got std or uprated now???

 

still waiting

 

cheers Wes, good point re the heatproofing, but i was already going to sort that the above piccies are pre assembly

Spiky, the box is a 'gordon spooner semi dog' but your guess is as good as mine!

i suspect std!

 

oh, i see

 

car keeps getting better and better dave,, like it alot

a swage line in the heatsheild around the outside would be nice aswell

 

Same header tank as mine.... but I thought you already had the same as me??

 

nope, didnt have all the dash fittings. didnt realise how expensive they were untill i got the invoice! Ł480! for the coolant kit!

 

Looks good Dave i like it a lot

 

fookin bastard, that was funny !
