engine bay tidy up & Finaly a Oreca Group A video

[Mack182]

Well last night fancied tidying the bay up and sorting out a miss fire which i believe was one of the ignition leads,

i started by taking the plenum off and de-greasing the rockor cover and then spraying with high temp silver paint, and then doing the plenum at the same time,

heres a few pics of during and after

and finally a video of the oreca Group A system

and the tail pipe,

and before any one says the engine is not cold

and excuse the shoddy phone camera photos

Fair enough your opinion but do sometimes wonder if you haven't got anything decent to say why say it :S

But thankyou for your opinion

 

[Josh Youare]

I like it. Better if it sat higher and was recessed a bit If i was being picky

Sorry mate, I was been harsh there. I just think one of the best things about the 172 is how discreet it can be. Only my opinion of course.

Yer that's fair it's a bit of a love or hate thing I believe.

Sweet! Will look even better if you scratch the paint off the manifold lettering.

Engine bay looks good, and the exhaust doesn't sound too bad.
