Looks nice Nick, one think i'd lose the induction kit tbh, unless you have a cold air feed for it ?

 

[Wazza182]

Polisher rocker cover, green cotton induction kit, magnicore 8.5mm leads, new dizzy cap and rotor arm, new sparkplug cover. What should i do next ?

Ideas and comment please.

yeah the induction kit has an air feed but being black its hard to see.

Get rid of the Induction kit, is what I'd do next.

I had one on my Williams 3 - sounded so good.. but, in this heat.. it was terrible. Infact, the car felt dead

I was going to make some kind of heat shield for the induction using heat resistant materials.

I still say get standard airbox - best mod I ever did

Everything else looks mint tho.. I was thinking of going the polished rocker/intake manifold route

Nice pics...brings back fond memories of my old Renault 19 16v.

Definately better with the OE airbox on...I threw mine away and was gutted whan I found out how much torque I lost with the K&N cone I replaced it with.

i didnt know it was that bad considering ive got 147.5 bhp, 122lbs of torque with just having a full mongoose system de-cat and induction kit:S .
With a printout to prove

Yeah im going to have a look for one soon, was thinking of getting some strut top covers from nick @ HillPower.

how about carbon fibre inlet manifold and spark plug covers..

 

[ChrisE]

Yeah id get the standard air box back on there... will lose a small amount of power with induction kits...!

do you know what that was at the wheels mate as i have the same mods and have an atw's figure of 117 bhp and was wondering what the conversion on mine was as it was alot lower than that i thought

nice bay by the way..

 

[Leeshez]

Nice indeed

Agreed, not that i'm biased.
I swapped my ik for a standard airbox last week, not only pulls better in this heat but imo it makes the engine bay look tidier aswell
