Engine bay was next on the list, mine was really letting the rest of the car down in terms of showing off.. how it was before the fun began
So work has began, first up was to paint the upper inlet manifold & masked it all up like so
So 20 minutes later i peeled all the news paper/masking tape off to reveal the the newly painted parts
Then left to dry... then sanded down the lettering & then added a little polish & installed
Then did a temp fit with the carbon cover
Over all i'm happy with the 3 hours work/waiting for the paint to dry, so with that done i have decided to carry on getting it back to glory, next job is a bottle of black ink to re-die the sound deadning as you can see its looking abit un-loved from years of driving, do plan to de-grease the whole engine bay, polish aircon lines, treat all plastic with AG vinyl cleanner get a black samco bend & some AST/KTR top mounts to add the wow factor to the clio bay

Mmmm liking that MoRpH3uS seems you copied me though? :rasp:
Serious note, think i may do some thing like that with the fuel rail gaurd, gotta get a cheap samco bend!
Looks like the fuel rail gaurd is gonna spend a night in some thing corrosive to strip it all back

yeah i can promise it works, sand can work too you just gotta make sure you rinse out well, i called it a water bottle but i think its the coolant? i still could be wrong i dont own a clio yet ya see.
iv cleaned bottles with dry rice with a little turps in the bottle shake it about and it should clean up.
loverly car lad, this colour and carbon fiber detailing is what i had in mind before reading your thread

Engine bay is finished, there are a few bits that could still be done but for some thing that gets open once in a blue moon i think this is far as it goes for tarting wise, still working on a batterey cover though! Samco induction bend all on too
Carbon Fusebox cover is for sale if anyone's interested drop me a Pm

Another busy afternoon @ the JMS-Tuning workshop yesterday, began work on finishing the up-rated cold air feeds ( CAF'S )
So the idea started from seeing markcups at surrey rolling road a few months ago but i couldnt justify buying another airbox ( espace V6 ) & another pannel filter then Nickcup172 did the same thing & took me out for a spin, was very impressed, more so with the noise it made when it came on cam @ 5k which ment you could drive below 5k without sounding like your entering a race track then when you did hit 5k ( play time ) it has the noise you want
So heres the work, for those that havent removed a Ph2 airbox & seen the CAF's you probarbly wont be able to make much sense of all this lol
So standard caf along side the new 70mm
As you can see the standard feed is tiny, so this is where the first issue occurs but is easily fixed by abit of chopping cutting, the actual hole from the airbox is 70mm but it gets reduced to under 50mm for some reason, can only think because of space issue, as you can see in the pic below, the right hand side is what clips into the airbox then the piece on the left hand said is the "reducer" that i cut off
So then i got my new CAF & used duct sealing tape from a pipe fitter at work & attached the clips so it was a simple plug and play when removing for serviceing/work on the car
And attached an end to clean it up
Nice & tidy inside
Here's a mock fit of what the CAF looks like when it will be on the car, do bare in mind this is the second cold airfeed, not the one that you see when you open your bonnet that connects to the acoustic valve
There is nothing you can do about the bend, 172 non-cup just doesnt have the room for anything to be done :dapprove: but its still alot smoother/bigger feed then the standard so with that done its installed along with the airbox then the end is fed through the hole where the old feed used to clip in
Then finnaly it was a case of cutting up the other standard feed ( one that connects to the acoustic valve ) & fitting, i ran this down to the wheel arch in this pic
But i have now shortend the wheel arch cold airfeed to rougly 6", so it now just runs straight out of the airbox & stops - no bends, the reason for this you ask? well i did 30 minutes of spirited driving & although the engine bay was red hot all the metal round by the batterey was stone cold so the less bends the better in my opinon & since its cold enough there & the fact the ITG maxogan gets it feed from there i cant see it being a problem
So the conclusion -
Much sharper engine response but more noticable is the pull above 5k along with an engine note change, shame it can only just be heard over the straight through system & de-cat but over all i'm very happy with it the new set-up

Black Gold Trophy
I did the same recently, I'm not sure if the one on the side of the airbox is better left off all together! Where did you feed the one that attaches at the bottom of the airbox?
e92 + E46 M3 + Cup
Have now cut the one on the side down to roughly 6", keeps the induction noise down, remove it completely & it burbles to much in the low RPM, cars loud enough with the other toys lol
The airfeed that runs undereath still gets air from the same place as before, seems more than cold enough there, would rather that then loads of bends running down the wheel arch to the front grill

May have a play with some diffrent routes still but think unless its set-up like markcup's the bends will out do the benefit of forced induction, Dam aircon pump taking all the space

Got home from work today & decided to have another play with the cold air feeds, Been playing on my mind all week...
So first thing was the bend under the air box, was worried about it rubbing through as its all fairly tight in there so picked up a 70mm PVC bend from work & installed like so
A much smoother bend than before & has plenty of clearance from the gearbox
So with that done i moved onto the entrance to the feeds, the current was not exactly stream line for the air flow so i began work on a home made trumpet
another half hours work later i had completely smothed the joint & cleanned it all up, afraid i was coverered in glue & filings so didn't get a picture but you get the idea, so now both feeds have the custom JMS inlet trumpets!
So all bolted on i went for a test drive, The performance analyzer shows a 1.2kw ( 1.6+hp ) improvement from the other run 2 hours previous, of course there are alot of variations when using a live rolling road but for just over an hours work i'm pleassed with the outcome, will report back in the next weeks for my views, loving the poor man's V-tec yoooo noise :rasp:
I've had a few Pm's about this so thought i would just post up pics to show..
Old air feeds :
48mm
New air feeds :
71mm

Cheers dude, they dont call me bullet for nothing lol, really happy with the results, shame i couldnt route it smoothly to a grill though, dam aircon unit! sure i'll love it in the summer though

Well its been on the list for a while as i had started to notice gear stick play, juddering in traffic & 1st gear having its moments so i was pretty sure its was the lower engine mount & rather doing something boring like just replacing it for standard i opted for the Powerflex up-rated one :approve:
My view - The best mod for under £50 i have bought for the car, end of! the car just feels so much sharper & in-tune so to speak, foot down & the power deliverey is instant, all gears feel tight & now its ace through traffic its also made heel to toe alot easyer as theres no "play" as such between the blip & down shift! the only flaw to all these benefits is there is an increase in vibrartion through the steering wheel at idle, you wouldnt even know when in motion, but thats me just being really picky, for most i'm sure they wouldnt even notice but i thought i would put it in before people go buying & moaning about it, but over all the pro's mega out weigh the con's
