cheers chaps !

 

Sure you can reach that kill switch from your seat when harnessed? Looks a little far away from that pic

 

Yes mate got long arms !

Thats why they call me mr tickle ! haha

 

picked up the inlet today from CJ powder coaters in grimsby what do you think ?

 

Wow nice color,looking very good and done very nice job.Like it

Looks good. Out of curiosity did you expect the extra lugs to be blanked and if so did you not consider removing them before getting it all powder coated

 

I did grined off the lugs underneath the manifold to make changing the inlet pipe easier while it's in place,not sure which lugs your talking about !

 

Ah just clicked, the lugs have small pieces of tape over them to stop powder coating going into threads..this i will remove when i refit it all with new bolts etc..

 

Started to remove the masking tape they used to blank of inlets and fastening holes ,after this was powder coated it went rock hard and was difficult and time consumming to get off ,just have to fine clean surfaces ready for inlet spacers .

I then started to rebuild the manifold ready for fitting to heads.

 

Also fitted some dtm mirrors not a bad improvment for the price I paid for them

 

 

Manifold with Samco inlet Hose looking like nice job and must admit i like more and more


I've similar on my car before(not Subaru),but i was not very impressed at all.You are tried these before,when you are fitted etc.?


Jura

 

Hopefully i wont be using them much and will be looking infront just wanted something different for now may keep may remove but they look ok. Not the best quality but you get what you pay for mate.

 

I understand what you mean

But looking good matey

CJ's powder coated my mates manifold, taped up as yours.

It looked clean inside but they media blast it before coating and there will be blasting residue inside. If you havnt already wash out the inside and blow out with a high pressure airline to be sure. My mates engine lasted 15miles..................

2 grand later I had rebuilt it, be warned.

Cuddy will probs remember it as he picked it up to diagnose the failure to start.
It had zero compression on all cylinders, ouch

 

Yes he mentioned it thats why i cleaned first with acid then washed off and specifically asked them prior to painting not to blast it with shot for that same reason but yes to be sure i will clean thourghly and blow out any pieces that may have gathered inside ,thanks

 

Had a day tidying a few bits up , doorcards fitted ,hoovered it out it was getting a little messy in there, also re-routed cables and connected pump.

I then drilled and riveted a few more clips to take braided fuel lines and carried on with the silver tape sealing all the holes.

Next on my small list was to measure and cut a template for passenger foot plate ,this was done with 10mm plastic heated up along the crease and bent to the angle i needed,this will now go away to be made from aluminium should look good when finished.

pics of the day

 

Nice, I like the attention to detail on that pump wiring

 

I suppose when youve been an industrial electrician for 26years it just comes natural,i do like small helix's though

 

have you managed to source a carbon roof yet ? reason i as is im also looking for one

 

No no yet mate I have a link to a company in the uk who import them £499 not sure how much postage is il put up a link when I get home on nights this week

 

cool, 500 aint a bad price if for a roof, i paid more for my bonnet pmsl

 

Just waiting on my Carl Davey 8mm inlet spacers then on it again been busy with new job silly shifts!!!!

clutch and flywheel to order next week then looking for a revoloution system cat back if you see anything let me know .

 

attention to detail, its all about the finishing touches

 

Was waiting for my carl davey inlet spacers to arrive and they came this morning so decided to get up early and head for the garage.




i must say quality product and fast delivery thanks











Also fitted a 16mm copper joiner into the two pipes for the heater matrix



Finally coming together

 

coming along nicely

 

This is really coming together now

 

I heard scoobyclinic are organising a sprint event at blyton on the 2nd oct would love for the car to be ready for this event need exhaust, clutch+ flywheel, roof ,seats,steering wheel the list goes on il try my best .

Thanks for the comments guys

 

dont rush it for that event keep taking your time loving the extra care you dont want to loose that!

what are your plans for the roof

 

Think i have sourced one from scotland just waiting for the guy to carefully remove it so i can send a courier to pick it up but heard nothing !

Failing that i will find a breakers yard and remove it myself im not prepared to spend £500 on a new roof !!!!!!

I was going to carbon wrap it or may even spray it not sure yet
