I wonder which seat is the carbon one

 

Epic effort leading to an epic finish & hopefully an epic result.
Respect where its due.

 

Cheers guys, Boydy, carbon one is my one

 

interior looking good frayz hows the rest coming on you had any chance to get on it now the snow has cleared

 

Waiting on people returning to work mate before i can get teh last bits to drop it back in mate. Im sat on my hands at the mo im afraid

 

more frustrating lol

 

Very!, you have no idea lol

 

 

Just like to say a huge thank you to Simon Roe (Jolly Green Monster).

Simon went out of his way today to drop off my MAP and air temp sensors to me today. These will support the Syvecs ECU and gives me time to get them fitted neatly before mapping commenses.

Many thanks for the support Simon

 

Top Man !

 

no problem.

 

getting close mate cant wait to see the finnished product

 

Me too. It will be a huge mental step forward for me seeing the motor back in the bay all bolted up and start fitting the ancillaries

 

is it done yet??? lol

 

Lets face it, we all like photos. So finally some stuff to show you all.

Got my modified boost pipes back. And also got a nice little boss turned up for the Syvecs air temp sensor. I wanted to see wher was best to fit this once its was all mocked up. So now that can be TIG'd in place and then teh pipes can go for powdercoat.

Alyn at AS Performance came up trumps yet again with a new dipstick tube (lost the other one... dont ask) and also a new throttle body gasket.

Also my steering setup arrived from Works Bell in Japan. This consists of a billet ally boss, forged Rapfix quick release and also a larger paddle.
Momo wheel should be here next week to complement these bits. Really am very impressed with the quality of the Works Bell gear. Its beautifully made and i cant wait to see it fitted

 

mmmmmmmmm shiny shiny

 

you might have to bring that release kit with you on Thursday so I can have a proper drool, looks lovely!

 

Remind me beforehand fella.

 

Intake manifold has been sent for powdercoat as i was never quite happy with the durability of the VHT painted item. It was far too easy to mark and damage.

Some of the boost pipes have been dropped in for powdercoat too. I say some as the last 2 will be built on the car when the motor is in as its far simpler and then i know it will be 100% right. Boost pipes are going to be a textured satin black.

Getting excited now

 

bet you are mate, all starting to come together nicely now

going to a biatch keeping that engine clean once it's in!!

 

Well almost everything has been powdercoated so should all be easily cleanable.. i hope.

Besides, i cant see it doing many miles as there will be no funds left to afford fuel at this rate

 

lol......well if you ever need anyone to give it a run out for you.....you know where i am he he

 

This arrived today...
Couldnt resist showing you

 

Nice one m8 . What are you doing with the fuel evap system, are you keping it or removing ?

 

I think you may have a different evap system to me Mike. I have a stock purge valve of which isnt needed with the Syvecs so its not going on

 

Ah yeah ok, im staying with stock ecu for the mo so its prob best to keep it then.

Cheers.

 

Collected some of my boost pipes from the powdercoaters tonight. As you can see the air temp boss has been added and theyre now a gorgeous "stipple" effect satin black. These look mega OEM in the metal. Really pleased with how they have come out.

Just the intake manifold to come back now

 

Very nice. glad you realised how Gay gloss would have been.

 

Yeah but there are alot of cars running gloss black pipework now Neil. Was still a bit too blingy for what i wanted.

These look so nice in the metal, its really hard to photograph them.

 

liking that finish, imagine it will look good even when dirty...would fit right into my non-cleaning regime
