just want to say a huge thanks to butch
he came round today at 8am to fit my cylinder head for me after he had got it ported and polished

lovely job on the head so at 8.30 we were cracking on fitting it

nice to hear my car fire up again after 3 weeks lol, so now just need to wait for my wheels to come back from refurb and its back

also change the style of the engine bay so here are some before and after pics, so glad i changed the style as it looks 100% better i think

thankyou again butch for coming down on a sunday

here the pics

before





after









also thanks to ian @ racetek for the heatsheld and various parts
matt lewis for the parts
and b9 kos for giving me the idea and help with the cam cover

 

You just need to change them few blue hoses you have Rich

Hope it all running ok.

Steve.

 

i know, but have no black pipe lol, nor do i know where to get black silicon va hose from

 

Looking good mate, I've always liked your car as you know.

Benni.

 

butch is a top bloke with a TRUE interest in cars, not to mention hes also a fellow ginger !!!

 

Nice engine bay mate.

I'm sure Roose does black vacuum pipe - failing that theres a few places on evilbay!

 

Butch is a top guy, I wish when he offered to do my headgasket I took him up on it.....


Ah well, Top man

 

Matt Lewis does black vacuum hose.

 

black vacum pipe...... thats called hose,,,,, available in EVERY motor factor in the country

pmsl at not knowing where to buy black hoses

 

i said silicon ginge lol

not std rubber hose even though it would proberbly do the job, but the silicon is just more flexible

 

tart !

 

carbon cam cover looks nice lol

 

that it does mate

didnt think it wa going to fit due to having all the writing machine doff the cam cover

 

as said, i LOVE the cam cover,,,,, well thats what i was gonna do to mine if it wasnt nicked pmsl

looking to be a VERY VERY nice car

 

i wanted to try and do something different and that wa sthe only way i could think of lol

i was a bit worrid at first that it wouldnt work out but im glad it did, though my coild pack should be the other way round but wouldnt fit due to fuel rail in the way, buts its perfectly ok that way up anyhow

next on the list is brakes or paint job, unless the transmission decides to shit itself

 

looks great, i wish mine looked like that! cam cover looks awsome

butch is a top bloke, he regularly gets me out of the shit and does a great job!

 

Looks great , good work

Nice one Butch.........you should of said you was heading down this neck of the woods as i only live 20minutes from Rich.....We could of had a nice Sunday pub lunch

 

cool bay!

 

very nice,good work done by Butch.

 

Thanks for your kind wors rich and everyone else



Tiff: if i would of know that i wud have let you know....

 

You've made my mind up I need the carbon heatshield!! Looks awesome! Is that the one from Mike R?

 

i am also thinking about a carbon one now as mine has melted

would look like a particualy shiney thing in a particualy dull pile of shit in my bay tho

 

Mine's falling to bits as well, and really lets down the rest of the bay. I was thinking of another standard one as its about Ł60, but I have the carbon cambelt cover and the two together are mint.

On the same note saw a few cars with carbon door handles at the pod - where can I get these from?

 

i got the carbon one from ian @ racetek

i need a heatshield in black so why not go carbon to match the other bits, still got more carbon to come but this is mainly interior an exterior

but if you run extra sensors then you will have to modify it like i did, s i run an extra lambda and egt sensor, i was almost crying drilling holes into it

 

looking good Rich , i will have to pop up and take a look.

BUT.... shame on you, think my tanks etc are gonna have to come out and go black

 

lol

pop round any time mate, its not going anywhere yet as i have no wheels

 

What Plug leads did you use and have you changed to coil packs ?

Dave.

 

yes im on coil pack, leads are ka

 

This he does do.

Good work Butch, keep it up

 

Top man Butch

 

that he is, caarnt thank him enough for the help

 

Did he build your engine for you rich?

 

yes mate

done excatly what i asked mate, and its fantastic except now im having a problem but its not down to butch, its dwn to me so im trying to sort it

carnt fault is workmanship and service, especially travelling all the way down to help me out and sundays aswell

top man would use him all the time
