Few obvious bits missing but getting there!!!

Much better than a few weeks ago any way!

I am indeed fella, its not on its mounting bracket atm but yes.

I didn't see any reason to ditch it (a few positives to keeping it) and at some point i'll make up an mfi plenum and go for the hidden efi nearly standard rs turbo look

I hate those extreme "hide everything" engine bays. It's like looking at a half built project where half the bits are still missing.

Nothing wrong with a bit of wire and stuff. Functional engine bays are so much cooler.

Some one best tell him before he starts it. But that RST has its head on back to front, and im not sure but i think the HT leads are wrong.



Imagine trying to keep that chip free and clean!

I love them Euro look bays, imagine the hard work etc thats gone into them... Ive seen a car before with the front strut brace used as a coolant header tank.

Stevealien - Your bay looks wicked, that carbon looks really trick!

There is a white S2 with a CVH coil on plug conversion that was is Perf Ford I think. Looked like Duratec COPs had been used. I don't think they were truly sequential though - still using Wasted Spark method.
