Good good! That's my plan too, now the manifold is done now i'm almost done

[dmallett]

Until you find something else to do! Ha

[dmallett]

DONE! By 9am i had the matched inlets on, alternator in and aux belt on.
Spent the next few hours trying to make my bumper sit properly for once and just doing little bits and removing the carbon canister.

9am




1pm



Cars now alot lighter and seems to rev more freely. So im happy with my work, minus having an epic cold now!

[LewisTaylor]

Looks good mate, inlets look smart sprayed up silver

[dmallett]

cheers! Ill spray the other bits when its warmer,

[LewisTaylor]

Fair enough, ditch that carpet at the back of the engine bay and it will look a pretty tidy engine bay

[dmallett]

But the dash will melt!!

[LewisTaylor]

But the dash will melt!!

Don't be daft! Ran my cup like it with 200bhp and never had any problems

[DannyR]

The dash will melt with it on. True story and a survivor lol!

[yeecup]

Good work, wish I could be confident enough to do stuff like that myself.

[poriordan]

[Djw John]

Good stuff. I've decided to leave the aircon on until it breaks and then il remove it. So any day now really

[dmallett]

Ill put it out then!

Cheers for the comments

My aircon never worked so its not like ill miss it!

Another ebay bargin, another set of williams wheels this time badly painted black with worn tyres.


Plan is to wrap them is some decent tyres for use on track and get my white wheels refurbed and try to keep them mint!
I might respray this set with rattle cans as they wont be for best lol. Any ideas on colours?

[LewisTaylor]

Anthracite on flame red is nice

[dmallett]

Wheels turned up today, theyre powder coated a matt black kinda colour. Theyre in pretty good nic, minus a few chips on each of the wheels on the spokes.
Think i will just leave them as they are and wrap them in some decent rubber.
Few pics with them on, car needs a very good clean!
