awesome update coming in a mo peeps

 

finally fitted my bonnet pins today,,,well finished em today is more truthful,,lol

as rolls suggested it was far easier to cut the inner skin of the bonnet out where needed to make drilling the holes etc easier,,,,so i did & it made life alot easier,,,
cheers rolls
(forgot the underside bonnet pics tho, will get some 2moro)











also dummy fitted the fuel cell and mounted it etc,, its a 12 gallon tank which some people say is bigger than neded but as im also gonna use this as a road car i dont wanna stop every 5 mins to fill the fooker up





as you can see the car is now bare ready for the interior to be prepped & painted


also completely rubbed the block down bare as it had seven different colours & layers on it & repainted it black with 5 coats of high temp stuff





more in a little while peeps

 

lookin good mate

ur xr2 gonna be well sweet when its done mate

 

excuse the engine bay rust etc,,,,,

its all being re done in a week or so

 

heres the update ive been waiting for

finally got my custom inlet today from tom scarlet so massive thanx to his dad & him for making it for me ,, copied from the original 1 made for toms own 300+bhp series 1

so here it is
main design avantages were it leaves more space than an efi item,,has side mounted throttle body to keep charge pipe away from turbo and keep ACT's down
also has spun aluminium tumpets for better airflow internally






side mounted throttle body


push in air/vacuum fittings (with spare diferent size fittings)




internal spun alloy trumpets for improved airflow



and hereis is trial bolted to the new head with injectors fitted etc & motorsport rocker cover on




well there it is in all its glory people
again massive thanx to tom & his dad

im realy determined for this xr2 to be the fastest there is in a mk2,,,so am trying to go the extra mile to what is out there already,,

lets hope it pays off
