That AMM-plenum harmonica would be a prime candidate for swapping given that you upgraded the part in front of the AMM...

Not the best of pictures, but here goes anyway...

First time I've seen a bonnet stay on the nearside, very nice & looks aftermarket too!

Any info?

Just a few wiring conundrums to sort then ready for the fire up and bedding in procedure next weekend.

Not inclined to remove my recently fitted diff. I thought if you do get hold of a standard 1 then i may be interested in yours.
I also have 3.08:1 gears that i intend to fit before a vmax event next year. 170+ in a Chimaera biggrin

There is an impostor amongst the ranks! It is a Griff engine bay hence the different location of the bonnet stay getmecoat

The stay itself it from Steve Heath. He does do one for the Chimaera as well:

Also liking the turbo install... all looks very simple and elegant (which invariably means it was far from)... was the intercooler a one-off or one converted from some other application? What turbos did you use? (just to be going on with hehe )

The amount of time it took to get everything in the right place you would not believe! I have mm's to spare on most things.

Intercooler and Radiator are for a Sierra RS500 bought brand new then hacked to death. Turbos are from a Subara Impreza x2, Fueling is MS2 with ignition and boost control.
