Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project
I got them from AP Motorstore silicone hoses.

My only slight thing is that I'd prefer if the band were a little deeper, but assuming they clamp up with no leaks...
Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project
That plenum and intake setup won't be there for very much longer :)
I've got an RS2 intake on order from JMS, so all that will be replaced with;

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project
Another small, not very exciting, update. :o
I measured up the area I wanted the nimbus heat shield to sit and then cut it to the correct size and shape. I wasn't expecting it to be in any way difficult, but it really is such easy stuff to work with.
After...
I like the idea of the duct for the RS2, interesting. Did you notice any/much difference using it and the boxed off section in the bay?
Meg looks well; I'll look forward to seeing what JMS come up with for it! :)
Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project
My nimbus aluminium heat shield arrived today! Seems good stuff and very light!
Hopefully tomorrow morning I'll have time to cut it down to size/shape and get it in the engine bay :approve:
For now, a quick close up shot of the stuff;
Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project
I was hoping to get my heatshield swapped over for the nimbus motorsport aluminium one today, but it didn't arrive, despite it being sent by next day delivery (guaranteed before 1pm) :dapprove:
When I tracked it this morning, royal mail website stated it would be...
Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project
Ah that would be the kind of thing I'd be needing mate! Did your RB have the carbon canister removed/relocated?
Any photos of them on your RB? :)
Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project
I do like it with the black space, ties in with the front lower grille nicely I think. I have thought about getting the carbon surrounds instead; possibly will.
Another one from earlier, definitely prefer it without the fogs.
Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project
DPD have just delivered a packet containing my stainless steel hose clips for the silicone hoses. The sizes aren't the same as what I ordered, but they cover the same range, so I'm assuming it won't be a problem. I'll test them against the hoses in a bit.
I...
I was in a similar position; that of looking at throttle bodies and was pretty much at the point of ordering the parts.
However, I decided on the JMS RS2 also in the end! Fantastic product; cannot wait for mine to arrive. :)
I decided on the Jam-Sport kit, which uses Wilwood calipers. Mark also designed it around a 295mm disc, as I've seen other similar kits using small discs.
I have them under 15" ET43 2118's
Also, there were a number of different pads to choose from, so you can't go wrong really!
It's great...
Chris, you used VHT paint on the engine iirc? Other than the degreaser before hand, was there any other prep needed? :)
I'll really need to do something with mine (I was thinking matt black) but I'd hate to do it wrong and make it look worse :o
