Has Daz Davies had a hand in this

 

No mate whos that??

Ryan

 

It was just a joke mate, daz is lad from Donny who built a big power type r a few years ago.
It was a pretty serious motor, mag feature the lot.

He had a love for purple too

Here's his thread, we'll worth a read actually

Joe

 

Few bits came this week
Cosworth fuel rails
oil cooler with inline stat
Going to be doing a bit more purple painting aswell

 

Sun was out a little bit today and the rain seemed to be holding off so got the paint out again















Leaving everything to fully dry overnight jnside then hopefully get the clear coat on over weekend

cheers rya

 

Good stuff Ryan like the purple should look pretty cool

Martin

 

How many coats did it take to do the manifold Ryan ?

Again the purple looks brilliant

Sam

 

cheers mate

 

think it was 5-6 coats mate.... hardest thing to do due to shape of it... did 4 coats of primer fist and rubbed it down

ryan

 

I really want to paint mine but can't decide what colour to use

 

Go for somthing different mate


I was thinking Asbo orange at one point

Cheers ryan

 

All about being different

Maybe a bright green will make it stand out

 

This is my mates

 

Now that is green it's going to have to be bright to stand out in the engine bay I'm gunna have a think and maybe have a picture for you soon

 

Ohhhhh cool mate.. yeah dont think about it juat do it.... worst case is you have to respray it

When I saw the pic of the inlet purple. I thought what have you done!! But to be fair the last pic on the engine stand with all the other bits, it looks quite good.

When I finally do my build, I would love to do candy red( I got a black car)
