That looks tidy. Did you spray the manifold silver or just wire wheel it? If so, what paint did you use? As I need to do mine, and the block, brackets, etc.

Done that one Peter

This project is hide the nasty wiring in the valley

I assume that is the top part of the inlet manifold with the trumpets removed? How do you remove them? Press out? What kind of gains do you expect to see with this set up? Just curious

[jojackson4]

Trumpet base
Opened up to 48-50 mm down into the manifold runers opened up
Hopefully more BHP and move the big hit of torque up the Rev range

Good move; think you'll see a surprising difference in temps

After dodging the rain again, finally managed to finish off the front polybush upgrade. Due to a cock up managed to end up with 2 spare top ball joints if anyone is interested.

Next week its the rears.....

New dials fitted

How did you get the capillary temperature to work on a RV8?

WATER It is connected to the inlet manifold where the old electronic one was fitted for the water.
OIL to a connection that has been fitted where the old electronic oil sender was.

Thanks, I wasn't sure how to deal with the different sender technology so I let an opportunity to get one of these twin gauges pass me by. I'll not miss the next one

Certainly hope so, not so important for sprinting but definitely for touring in the Summer, particularly Le Mans!

Ged, there's a purpley black sparkly colour that TVR used I've only seen it twice once on a Tuscan 2 and once on a late model Griff... I know you say blue but try and check out the sparkly putpley black colour it really does look stunning

Finally, this morning, I decided what paint colour to go for.
