Hybrid FMIC No3 Fitting Day for "WRY RCY"
Well guys we have been drilling grinding and cutting for a third time :norty:
This time it was for WRY RCY (Chris and Gemma) on their early jap spec classic :cool: This install was certainly not without it's hitches as the pipework simply did not fit when we got into the engine bay :( It looked to be for a later phase engine, but we fitted it up to a point then had to replace the top mount for Chris to source some modified pipework at a later date ;) Chris has since finished this and had Andy F to map the car so he will appear on the thread later to update us with the finished pictures.... I've not seen the finished car yet so I thought I had better get a move on and start the thread off :lol1: Right present on the day were... Chris, BigDaz, Simb, BigBrakes (John), Mattscooby, Dannyboy and myself. Here we go then..... The car arrives and we start to strip a few bits of in preparation, http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ntMount001.jpg I've got to add how clean this car is for it's age.... not a spot of rust anywhere we were well impressed :cool: http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ntMount002.jpg http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ntMount003.jpg Simb starts on the top mount http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ntMount004.jpg Chris gets told to remove his own wheels :lol1: we don't want to mark them and get a :razz: :D http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ntMount005.jpg The front mount is offered up then fixed on just to get an idea of how much fine tuning is needed.... http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ntMount009.jpg Danny start the fine tuning :eek: http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ntMount010.jpg Daz sit and thinks for a minute.. http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ntMount006.jpg http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ntMount008.jpg The hole on the inner wing is roughly enlarged to start with... http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ntMount013.jpg Then John fine tunes with his skillfull eye http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ntMount015.jpg By this time Chris is pacing around like the expectant father :freak3: :D Scarey stuff :eek: http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ntMount014.jpg Don't worry it ends up like this after getting a coat of hammerite and some rubber edging strip ;) http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ntMount024.jpg Daz is concentrating deeply..... http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ntMount017.jpg Lets just take a moment out for Chris brakes.... http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ntMount018.jpg And Coilovers.. http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ntMount025.jpg Not a nice man at all :hjtwofing :D Right as you can see there is a little bit to cut off and tidy up on the front end.. http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ntMount019.jpg I dropped some hammerite on all exposed areas including Danny hands :rolleyes: http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ntMount020.jpg http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ntMount021.jpg Not the best place for you number plate Chris ;) http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ntMount032.jpg All the lower pipework is put roughly in place.. http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ntMount031.jpg Simb and Matt are working on the front bumper at this point in time... http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ntMount029.jpg It's quite scarey when you see just how much needs chopping out :eek: http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ntMount034.jpg http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ntMount042.jpg As a rough guide here are some measurements, but I still think about another 5mm needs to be removed still... http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ntMount041.jpg http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ntMount036.jpg Quality or what :cool: http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ntMount058.jpg http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ntMount057.jpg http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ntMount047.jpg http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ntMount043.jpg http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ntMount049.jpg http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ntMount053.jpg By this point we have come to the reality that all is far from correct with the second fix of pipes.... it simply does not line up :( http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ntMount052.jpg http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ntMount054.jpg http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ntMount055.jpg You will see just how far things were out John gives it some thought as Chris looks on, this was when we decided just to hold back before we go past a point of no return... http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...uelPump007.jpg We then decide that enough is enough and cover the ends over and leave it at that point of install.... we have hit a wall and can't get around it so work continues with the bumper... http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ntMount059.jpg Darkness decends :o after a long day... http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ntMount060.jpg http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ntMount061.jpg Lights are all working fine :D http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ntMount063.jpg Very nice indeed :notworthy http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ntMount064.jpg http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ntMount066.jpg Right hopefully over to Chris for the rest of them :D Regards Simon :thumb: |

Chris you did modify it just a little :eek:
Are you leaving cable tie fixing on it or sussing out a better method ? Thinking of it logically that run is really not much longer if any than the standard direction taken.... and after having Andy map it all must be well :D I'll give Charlie his due he can certainly weld if that's the correct term to use on these joints :cool: |
Is it ok to be that close to a hot manifold? Needs a clean anyway bud:thumb:
|
looks awsome!!! hope you havent got many speed bumps in your area!!!!!

I've never seen a pipe run like that before.

Them were the days we did well considering not one of us has mechanical background. My old van as well, good to see these pics loved every min even though it doesn't look it in the pics. You could of just helped me make a big decision.
