little update on the engine bay

[bendee]

little update on the engine bay added a strut brace painted it black and painted the bolts and washers orange.
also painted the manifold black and added a catch tank for the powersteering fluid the good thing is it sucks the fluid back up so its never lacking it and it stops the whine it sometimes got this will be the last update on the bay till i get bodies.

and a quick one of my christmas present off the parents, its fecking epic can lift the car over my head haha

Engine bay looks good - always thought a new mani heat shield makes a big difference.

 

[Whiteley]

Tidy as ever! Did you get that cage of C16v/WC too?

And how much does a new heatshield cost me?

 

[bendee]

i have indeed got the cage of a chap called alex from wales, not sure on heatshield depends where you go ive got a reciept for one for around 140 quid from last owner but ive heard of them going for 70 from dealers.

 

[Bluebeard]

What manifold is that?!

I have the same PAS catch tank, but mines in with the jack! lol.

Oh, and have you got any pictures of the whole car??

tell me about it dont know where they dream the prices up could probably be found cheaper but ive not looked as i havnt needed to.

 

[matty w]

Looks sooo much better than the valver s**te on mine.

yeah they look sh*t but they are a decent manifold,i had mine shot blasted then hi temperature paint looks a lot better

 

[bendee]

and its a williams manifold alot better than the valver manifold was holding mine back abit in the higher revs and the torque people say you loose isnt noticable imo plus the valver one weights more than the car so it was a nice upgrade.

 

[Guppy]

[Whiteley]
