Oh, go on then.

This one shows my latest trick tucking all wiring under the inlet manifold out of site, did have to make holes in the manifold for injector wires to pop through. sad maybe, but I like it

Got it from e-bay but I've took it off as the inlet/outlet and filter are too small. Needs to be bigger especially for Supercharged, turbo or nitrous set-up. I'm getting another with bigger inlet/outlet for better breathing [not worse]and no filter as it stinks in the car just vented in engine bay. I have installed a second flame trap where the oil filler is, linked the two traps together to then go to catch tank through inlet then outlet vented to air via a pipe and filter to underside of car at rear for better job
Just put up 'oil catch tank' on e-bay and loads will come up, you can see some have 15mm in/out and some only 9mm in/out.

There's been some utter engine bay 'porn' so far!

Lots of ideas taken on board for improving mine, keep 'em coming!

Okay Ralphy, heres mine.

Finally got it looking half way respectable but the Chimps going in for a colour change next month and the blue just won't work after that - so all the blue bits you can see will have to go (I can hear the cheers from here with regards to the drinks can gimmick)!

So its looking tidy and here's a fair farewell to the style. Its now time to learn Polishing!!!

[MPoxon]

That looks great Stuart.

May I ask where you got the S/S intake pipe from, it looks great.

Hi all, any ideas how long until you have to re-polish those gleaming manifolds again? Do they lose their sparkle? And whats the best equipment to use?

Cheers. They all look amazing!!

[hansdaal]

Hallo Guys,

Lots of nice engine bays. Can anyone forward a good adress to have the plenum "done" in a color of my choice with the top ribs polished.
tips to my profile or [e-mail]

Thanks Hans.

Go on then... taken this morning; think I got its best side

Are you running the je alternator bracket, and retaining the pas pump? And removing the idler/tensioner pulley, any issues doing that, and what length belt did you use

Cheers

here's one of those MSD coils although i am not sure they are neccesary as the stock EDIS & coils kit is very good already


Simon,

Of course they are necessary, they're red

and will shortly be fitted to mine (sorry it's not in a Chim )

Come on Pete,i said not many.

[t1blk]

Nah , I love the car but after an accident at work I'm no longer able to drive it as it's such a struggle to get in it, for me it's only accessible with the roof off. Once in it's not too bad , it's just a shame to have it sat about when it should be driven and enjoyed.
