Also a huge thanks to Paul @ Zen for the inlet manifold which will allow me to run v5/6 heads with v1 inlet manifold and set up/management etc

Which is in the pile of bits to be sprayed

Simon[/QUOTE]

Is it a hybrid of the two versions and reversed?

it is a v1 manifold widenned and front entried to fit the width and then there is spacers that adapt to the bolt holes on the heads with heat spacers between.

Thanks guys.. next priority is rear bulk head as not keen on that fuel behind the spongy seat!!!

Might have to upgrade the fuel hose used for fuel pump and siwrl pot too as it leaks a little fume when tuned off.. so smell of petrol when returning to the car.. seen and been in far worse mind you. Rear bulk head sealed nicely might help.

What gauge wire have you got running to the pump Simon?

Looks thicker than mine, I might need to upgrade looking at yours.

Oh and youll get use to the fumes after a while.

Fumes and your car doesnt explain it enough!

Not sure I bought an amp wiring kit from halfords.
It is overkill tbh but could run two pumps off it in the future

picked up some new front fog covers whilst mapping at scoobyworld

will fit cold air feed and paint covers in time


repaired flock on the dash
before

after

no before on passenger side but it was as bad as drivers


Also bought some box speakers intending to remove all four original and fit the two box ones to cage.. but they were heavier than the four original so I have removed the front speakers..

Front number plate looks far too legal, and far too big IMHO.

I got stopped a couple of months back and £30 fine for plates.. they now inform dvla and dvla write to you.. after so many times they take the number plate off you and you get a Q plate.

it has been in the front screen the past too weeks as I didn't want to fit it but decided today that I best do so.. it looks pants

May go for a legal square one..

Never realised they were still using the Q plate system....?

That wouldn't be good.

As Steven says, cable ties are your friend.

cable ties?

I had assumed Stevens colourist () cable tie comment was about the green and red on the fuel system?

I used up the last of my black ones securing the alarm sensors and wiring to the cage
