Pupp,

You say declutter.

Not mine but 'this' is declutter from the hot rod boys:



I'm going the hidden wire route on my Tiv.

Some nice inspiration in this thread. I think maybe a Clivef Y piece is in order next!!

I must get some more up to date photos of mine. I've now removed the ACT sticker on the rockers cover and fitted the proper metal TVR plaque on the top. I've also fitted new black HT leads. Decided I didn't like the blue ones and they were split.

Hopefully I'll have this lot fitted at the end of the weekend.

Varley Red Top gel battery mounted with bespoke padded bracket above fuel tank.
Isolator mounted beside it, (more for convenience than security).
Insulated live post for power in the engine bay.

Hi Pete, have you moved or planning to the fuse panel as well?

[phazed]

Not at the moment.

I need the car on the road as I have a sprint on the 15th. Fancy it?

Impressive, Richard
Two hairdryers - one more and you can open your own salon.

Amused to see the post above from dear Phazed.....IIRC that Bedford track day got cancelled at about 8 am on the day because of too much snow on the track, but not before himself had got all the way from deepest Surrey to within a mile of the track in the 370 bhp beast, ploughing the snow aside with his dual purpose splitter/snow plough...

Funny you say that Mac. A local lad near me has Nissan with a very nice looking Turbo cover.

It's at about 600 Bhp so not slow. The cover looks the biz and is pre made to fit. Better than seeing rust as the owner mentioned.

I have a pair of titanium ones to go on but they need fettling to look good and fit properly,
Mac what tubing did you use for you rocker cover breathers?

The pipe is actually flexible gas pipe that coincidently has the right diameter to just 'pop' into the flametraps with no leaking. The one is positive to inlet side of turbo and the other negative to catch tank behind f/o/s wheel then same pipe runs from catch tank to exit rear of car so no stinky fumes in cabin. Thus far not one engine oil leak.

Good call Mac even a small amount of crankcase evacuation is good rather than just open breathers, if the engine is not doing ..."Thomas The Tank Engine" impressions then there is no reason not to vent the crankcase to somewhere on the intake to allow some kind of moving CV

Thanks for that Mac, I have a plan to pipe it via my little hyper flow catch tank it has two in and two outlets
