The PE one in red mate ?

Adam-M

Sounds like an ideal compromise mate brightens up the bay a bit

tosh

I think a clear acrylic rocker cover is needed in this case! It’s a shame to cover that up mate

Rsmat

iTrader: (2)

I love the standard look in red as it makes the engine loom smaller and so innocent ..yet I love the PE cover ..maybe best of both worlds is the have the PE cover red ..lets do this

Rsmat

iTrader: (2)

That would be ace and different .

tosh

I didn’t even think anything like that even existed until I just googled it, not sure how it would last in reality though.

Rsmat

iTrader: (2)

Yea I know a guy that could make me one no problems but unreality they go yellow and stained .

Caddyshack

Yeah, thats a shame as would be cool to see it running and it does look pretty under there.

Rsmat

iTrader: (2)

It would but if still worry about it breaking tbh .

Caddyshack

Yeah, bound to let you down at the wrong time. Maybe a window would be safer. We did talk about doing a supra diff cover design with a window at the rear so you could see the workings and oil level.

Them rockers sure look priddy Mr

Well it's just landed so I'll fit it over the weekend .

Rsmat

Well yesterday was a write off as the youngest lad came of his push bike ..so today I have to make up for it spent a couple of hours cleaning the bulk head and restoring the wiper mechanism etc ..then fitted my new small dealer plate just the right size to get as much air to the IC as possible .

Old vs New .

























Painted my boost pipe satin black to match the rest .








Then put it away .

Been upto ND today as im needing a bespoke charge carrier and the breather kit mock up ..mine will be same has this but mine will have fittings

smiley

Mat have you thought about zircoating your manifold ? May help with how close your charge carrier is and possible heat transfer

Rsmat

iTrader: (2)

Yea I'm having it ceramic coated when my mate sets up his new business ..for now it's a bespoke charge carrier and wrapped .

smiley

Sweet mate may give you a shout on that will need mine doing when I get to that stage

Rsmat

iTrader: (2)

In need of a KA gear linkage asap ..

Rsmat

iTrader: (2)

Mixed emotion day ..started getting fittings fitted ready for making all the hoses up etc ..then decided to tackle the door catch that had previously been messed up by someone in its past ..and slipped with the drill ..proper gutted ..but atleast it's only paint and it's all going for repair once it's running .















Also new dial decals arrived from Lockwood for my spare set of 88spec clicks ..and a mk6 peddle rubber to match the rs turbo original rubbers .

gcfcos

Shame about the drill slippage mate but at least you can get it all done when in the bodyshop

bluntys1rsturbo

ah thats a right bugger mate, but as you say it will be sorted anyway.

Have you tried ebay for the ka gear linkage?

Rsmat

iTrader: (2)

Yea I'm not beating myself up over it ..bound to have an accident at some point .

Aye mate ..luckily got a mate to sort the little bits out ..and yea I've tried eBay can only find 2 that are miles away.

bluntys1rsturbo

ah i thought you would of done mate, are you not able wait for one to be delivered?

one thing i learned from summat similar years ago is to double tape the area and then stick a layer of duct tape over that, might seem a bit ott but it defo does the trick.

Rsmat

iTrader: (2)

Both was only local pick up mate ..yea lesson learnt ..rushing again ..

Rsmat

iTrader: (2)

Inlet turned up today for mock up ..and to get a picture in my head of where I'm going to mount the new breather system etc .. a few pics .

Think I'm going to stick with the standard cover ..just love the skinny look of it etc and the red looks well against the OE silver .

Rsmat

iTrader: (2)

Few little bits arrived today ..fittings and braided hose for oil return on Turbo ..also the water banjos so I can make my water feed and return out of An6 ..and some new door card clips ..after my trip to Derby tomorrow ill make it all up and fit .

bluntys1rsturbo

have you had any joy with the ka gear linkage?

Rsmat

iTrader: (2)

bluntys1rsturbo
