to be honest i do like it as you can't see the massive inlet plenny that normally protudes at the back of the engine and plus its completey different to the norm,. do the indy coil packs make a big difference to a single coil pack?

It is the oil filler cap. I use to have a big silver billet one, but now have a lightweight Ford pressed steel one. It should help bring my quarter mile times down.

Got no one to blame but myself!!!!
Yes its an older pic with the wires and hoses running everywhere. Of course its a bit more tidy now.


It might be messy, but it did the buisness.



I am now running individual coil packs with fully sequenshal spark and fueling. I wanted more control over the ignition system than wasted spark, so have switched.

Cool, i don't doubt (know) it does the business .....being an advert for your company though it'd be good if it looked as good as it goes! Love the one off and different ideas you use on the car though

Only had an old picture of the install before I had finished it.

Was hoping you guys understand that I am more about the engineering not the bling. However I do understand the importance of presentation, I just get carried away and post the pictures however they look.

Also this is the 3rd engine managment system I have tried and ran this year. My car use to be a show vehicle, its now a test bed.

Absolutely, i know your car produces the goods and the engineering that goes into making it all work is awesome! I kind of think you know what i'm getting at though, presentation needs to go hand in hand with the performance side of things....alot of people will judge the standard of people's work on first impressions/how things look as well as how well they go! You'll have to get some pcs up when it's all done and looking how you want it to look
