Getting boxed and coming home tomorrow Mart

 

Nice, but what are doing with your dash Mart

 

Cheers Ry but what colour is that? Looks gold in the pics

Just went for a little change Jon after the new radio went in and the red hazard switch stood out like a red saw thumb

Martin

 

Lol,it's just the colour of the lights in the booth giving a golden huw.
It actually looks like this in normal light

That's going to look cool Ry. Can't wait up get it all together again

Martin

 

thats like the aline dash, did contemplate that myself

 

Jake have you got the bonding materials at your place? Need someone to treat the lips of my arches then bond the extensions on when I get them back from Ryan

Martin

 

Finally managed to track down a mint bonnet in the same colour to replace mine which had the dreaded finger mark/dents at the front

The offending item removed




And the new one on best £50 I've spent on the car since I bought it



Really pleased with it as it always annoyed me seeing the dents

Martin

 

Yeah just bond on?

 

So finally put the dash back together after Ryan sent me back the painted panels and it looks sooo much better then before

Before



Putting the pieces back





Finally



Top vent will be off to see Frayz with a couple of switches so watch this space lol

Also have this to go on as part of another plan

Looking very tidy Mart, I'll be getting Ryan to work some magic on my inlet too after I do the TGV delete

 

ever though about doing the hawkeye centre console conversion??

its very easy to do and looks much better than the bug /blob console

 

Looking good matey

 

Thanks Jon was thinking about sending this inlet to Ry before I put it on but I may just get some new gaskets and put it on after a clean.

Did think about it Dan but then the aim was just to tart the inside up a little and put the extra cash towards some more exterior work will eventually change to the new style but if the idea me and Frayz have had with this vent works then ill be loving the interior better so will be sticking with it

Martin

 

It'll be work getting some heat spacers while it's all off

 

Thanks Craig

Slowly slowly does it now not in a mad rush plus funds don't allow to go silly anymore

Had a very good chat with Alyn today what a top bloke he is. We spoke in detail about engine builds and he gave me some sound advice to have a think about to decide which route would best suit me and the funds I'd have to play with. Hopefully when I come to a decision this thread will move more towards the build and less cosmetic stuff

Martin

 

Heat spacers Jon tell me more please lol

Martin

 

There's various types out there made from different material but they're designed to stop heat soak from the block into the manifold keeping the inlet temps down.

Some people have reported to 10mm ones result in the manifold sitting too high but that I think is more on classics. When considering the cost remember you'll save the expense of new gaskets as the o-ring options are self sealing. I have a set of the Carl Davey ones to go on mine

 

now put those black wheels back on

 

we do Phenolic ones as another option Martin, although they are more of a gasket than a spacer (of which we also do various types)

 

Haha can't wait to mate spent all that money on them and they've only seen road for a couple of months

Really think its worth the money Jon? I was thinking of just putting a new gasket in for a Tenner lol. Reason I'm changing the inlet is to free up some features from the new open source rom where I can go maf less with anti lag etc etc. my aim is to save enough pennies for a re build towards the end of the year so the inlet would just be a temporary thing.

Martin

 

With our long chat today Alyn I totally forgot to ask you about a gasket although the advice you gave me was excellent so don't mind calling you back tomorrow

Martin

 

Anything to reduce temps has to be a good thing

 

looking nice Martin

 

Absolutely agree with you Jon now have to see if funds allow though

Thanks Iain not much to shout out about compared to yours buddy. I'm up to date with it now had to do some catching up the other night

Martin

 

Got myself a new battery clamp to continue to tart up under the bonnet



Big massive big up to Alyn @ ASperformance spoke to him around 3pm yesterday paid and ordered some oil and filter and it arrived today at 3pm!



excellent fast service and top of my list for any parts ill need in the future. Thanks Alyn as always service and advice the best on Scoobynet

Martin

 

Bonnet dampers from the gb fitted this evening



Martin

 

Looking good, great choice

 

Very nice matey
