[Dave.]

I miss the stickers

 

[chrispy.clio]

I think I'm just gona keep it looking like it is for now. The CF bonnet will be going on soon I'm still looking for a fibre glass boot and I'll be buying a full set of plastic windows for the car too. After I've used all the life out if the slicks then I'll get the wheels powder coated but that won't be until the end of the year.

 

[Nafoff]

only place you'll find the fibreglass boot is from x-sports
thing is that will be super flimsy

just get the grinder out and cut...lol

 

[chrispy.clio]

As long as it's light then that's the main thing, I was planning on areocatching the boot on anyway

 

[chrispy.clio]

Also I heat wrapped my manifold the other day so here's a iPhone picture.

Just need spraying to make it not soak up fluids that might drip on it, i bought it from Nimbus Motorsport and it was the bargin of the century. I <3 Nimbus Motorsport

 

[Dave.]

Looks like u have done a good job of that mate, looks v tidy

 

[Silent_Scone]

use boot pins, they go through the boot stoppers, piece of piss to fit.. oh and they look lush

Nice job on the mani

 

[Tony Hunter]

Just like this.

 

[Silent_Scone]

thats the bad boy right there. :approve: 10 british pundz

 

[chrispy.clio]

I prefer the look of areo catches to those pins but we'll see when I get the boot. I really need to stop spending money on these things and just get the car finished and get it out on the track. I just can't help buying things

 

[Tony Hunter]

Yes but it's the same pins for areo catches anyway.But yes,stop dicking around with the car and get on with it.

I do need a kick up the ar** really, I just need a 172 cup master cylinder and I can finish the brakes and then just need to fit my old loom make my new OMEX one and then just put all the little bits back on. I've been at this stage for ages I have been fixing a Ferrari and stripping dads Aston down too so I have been a busy boy!!

 

[Tony Hunter]

[Dave.]

[Tony Hunter]

 

[Silent_Scone]

Doesn't your old man have servants for that?

[chrispy.clio]

I can't see the video as I'm on my iPhone. I'll try getting lots done this weekend. Fingers crossed. Dave I do wana see your car when it's done so I'll have to pop round after work or something


Oh and Mike I am the servant lol

 

[Dave.]

Yeah pop over at the weekend if you like mate, should be done Friday sometime I think

 

[IcemanUK]

Loving this car Chrispy. Are you going to join us in TDT this year? Less than two weeks now to my long weekend and rebuild. 4 whole days of garage heaven What you gonna spray the mani with to stop the soak?

 

[chrispy.clio]

Yeah I'll let you know dave

I will be entering the car into a race series in a year or two.

I bought a thermo tech heat wrap kit which comes with enough wrap to wrap a 4-2-1 mani, 6 metal tip ties ( which isn't enough) and 500ml of special spray which you spray over the manifold after it's wrapped and it seals the wrap.

 

[Tony Hunter]

The only thing with wrapping a manifold is that any oil leak etc gets on it,then,FIRE!
Best ti get them coated,but thats expensive.

 

[Silent_Scone]

this ^ happened to a chums sapphire, a ford leaking oil I know it's shocking. Wasn't a pretty sight

Zirotec coat a 182 size mani for about £350.00 last time I checked, worth it for the lack of risk alone.

 

[Tony Hunter]

£350,fk me.That's an entry fee for a race meeting.

 

[Jonny1*2]

Fook me, what's it made of?

 

[Silent_Scone]

Gods very own harry munk by the sounds of it

 

[chrispy.clio]

Its very expensive, maybe on my next track/race car i will send my manifold off to them but for now i'll stick with this.

I did hear about the old oil on the wrap, but i thought that was the whole point of the spray, it seals the wrap so it cant soak up fluids as much. If theres enough oil on the wrap to set on fire then the engines probably gone pop. and in that case i'll build a new one.


Also £350 is a full set of plastic windows so i'll do thats at some point.

Is your race car finished yet Tom???

 

[Tom@JMS]

No, I just have a heap of kit . It's currently having the cage gusseted to the A pillars, but Electronics, Intake, Diff & all the other associated bits and bobs are sorted.

 

[haimsey]

try these for coating manifold www.woof-tmt.com a friend had an evo manifold done and recommended the work and service. Bradford based so quite far but sure if price is right would be worth it

 

[AdamR]

Insane amounts of dedication - a very impressive project! Just looked through all the 62 pages, lol, but has given me some ideas...

Looks best with black wheels and no stickers IMO

Looking forward to the next installment!

 

[chrispy.clio]

The manifold is done now so I'll just see how I get on with it.

 

[Dave.]

I'm sure it will be fine mate, been used for years!

 

[Jonny1*2]

Just get the extinguisher plumbed in mate, you'll be fine

 

[Nafoff]

great work on that mani mate

 

[chrispy.clio]

A fire extinguisher is on my to buy list but not getting it Plummed in just gona have it strapped to the cage of the floor

You can get them in a system so you can build it ip any way mate

 

[biglum]

Also £350 is a full set of plastic windows so i'll do thats at some point.

Demon Tweeks do a five window kit for £275 + vat = £330

 

[harribo66]

This has come on a long way since I last read it mate, such an awesome car and so much work gone into it, given me some ideas if I ever get a 1*2. Lol.
I dot think you will ever way to sell it with the 1000000 man hours you have put in

 

[kanedandunable]

[chrispy.clio]

are your trumpets 90mm ?

Yes I am running 90mm trumpets. Best set up for jenveys but you have to loose the slam panel and fit bonnet catches ( which lol mint anyway)
