Really like it; I'm a big fan of white wheels on silver cars. :)

Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118 Severely tempted by the Supersprint race system, being offered at an awesome price from Kam Racing. :evil: Any experiences of this system? I don't mind loud, but I can't be doing with droney? I know the quality is right up there in the league...

Dr Jekyll's car is lovely! :) One of it from CSS;

Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118 Do you know whether it's had the revised 2011 manifold upgrade? :) The original kit didn't have the bespoke JMS single piece base manifold; instead, it used a MR23 Jenvey base and spacers. The upgrade to the new design was offered free of...

Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118 The upper and lower inlets are removed; the JMS/Jenvey base manifold then bolts directly to the head, with the carbon air box enclosing the face of it. :) There's no mechanical/moving parts as such, other than the standard TB further down...

Considering getting rid of Sky, in favour of Virgin Media Tivo. Sadly, I bought my Sky+HD box when Samsung were making them; I've have quite a lot of problems (locking up, recording failures) with it.

Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118 Yes, mate. It was sprayed on the car. :) The leads, coil pack mount, etc was removed and everything else was covered or masked, then the rocker cover was sprayed.

Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118 It's good stuff; cheap and easy to work with too. 'cause of the wrinkle effect, the spraying doesn't have to be perfect. :)

Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118 It's crinkle black VHT paint; available from ART restorers. :) It's available in red too, which is what Dave used on his rocker cover. Edited to add; that stuff! ^ :rasp: lol!

Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118 Lambda sensor has arrived from K-Tec this morning. I ordered it during the bank holiday and it arrived this morning; usual quick and high standard of service from their mail order side. :) Hopefully my Steamline carbon delivery will...

Nice choice! :evil: :D

Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118 :evil:

Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118 haha! I'd not really thought about the rear lights tbh; suppose some silvervisions wouldn't hurt. ;) I think water's getting into the nearside cluster actually, as the sidelight goes off when it rains! lol! Hoepfully my Streamline and K-Tec...

Thanks, guys! :approve:

Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118 LOL! I much prefer the edited photos, much more tarty too! :evil: haha!

Spot on, mate. the ET38's would be better for the Cup; near enough the same as the standard offset. :)

Re: **show Es Your Engine Bay** :)

The lower the offset, the further out the wheel will sit. :) The ET38's will sit further out than the ET43's.

LOL!! This one's my favourite; I wish they all came out like this! haha! Ah, and I'd forgotten I'd done a bit of post work on another too;

Mine are ET43 (purely because the anthracite were only available in this offset) and fit with the midilite calipers without any problem. I think the white 2118's are available in the lower 37/38 offset too though. :)

A few more photos; again, these were taken purely to practise shooting and editing a bit. :) :)

They'll be carbon in a couple of days. :D

Just 11 days to go! :)

haha! Sadly not. :( It was the 1.6 'Duratec'. I would have gone 2.0 Zetec if I'd have kept it, but it just didn't make sense when I could have got much better base performance from the 172. :)

:)

Lovely! :D

:D I've spent a bit of time this evening having a play about with photoshop, attempting some different editing; usually I just sharpen them up. Quite impressed actually. The difference is pretty subtle, but definitely makes the photo look more complete. I'll do this with future photos too, I...

Thanks, guys. :D I've been using this location since my old car! :o

Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118 Some new photos. Taken earlier today, as I wanted to practise a few shots. I've posted these, and a few others, elsewhere on the forum; clio media. :)
