Engine bay , mods identified?
Discussion
When I bought my Chim last Summer it came with a massive file of receipts and stuff, as the weather was crummy today I finally got round to sorting through and trying to find all the mods. The interior ones were easy enough, and I think I have the engine ones identified
1.ACT indution kit and smooth bore elbow.
2.swirl pot ?
3. Silicone hoses
4.Mod wise 2 stage cooling kit.
? is this standard coolant tank ?
6.Braided fuel hoses
??. ? ACT SS swan neck pipe?
found the rear leven drop links, cannot find anything for the front and no idea where to look ? front anti roll bar. virtual mechanical novice. I also used my amazing powers of deduction and identified the little LED lights in the boot as the mod wise LED light mod ! and the bow mounted oposite the spare wheel is the Alpine Subwoofer ! ( yay me!)

the one that you have as ? Is the expansion tank for the cooling system
2 is the swirl tank for the coolant system
2 Swirl pot looks original. The available aftermarket ones are pretty close (though side by side with an original; easy to spot). I would say yours is original.
? is the standard/original expansion tank (as per above post)
?? looks like it could be a replacement swan neck (assuming that's bare metal not silver paint?). There are a small handful of originals about, but they run somewhere around £130 new, and are black.

The ?? Is metal and i have invoice for Act swan neck pipe so that must be it.
the drop links are Steve Heath not Leven ones. They are blue and have bill for front and rear's. They are 6 years old and i have heard good things about the Leven ones.
Drop links fit to the ends of the anti roll bars, both front and rear. I am having Leven ones fitted this week, so will let you know how different it feels afterwards. My TVR expert approved of the choice. I am told that the Leven are by far the best and will out live the car. By the way, if you are thinking of buying some, they are due a price rise this Friday, 1st March, so order nowthe drop links are Steve Heath not Leven ones.
