Its all being left to Andrew to sort mate, im still waiting on the Supertechs to come into the uk so they can be sent onto Andrew.
Its got to be right so what it needs it needs, not alot i can do.
As you say mate, once its done then its done just wont be using it for short trips ever again.
When will this be back on the road then Scott? Whats the plans for it cam wise?
Im eager to see this, i heard good things about the car recently and im intrigued by how clean it really is!!

You know 2024? Then. For 10 miles.
If it's dry.
FLOL. If me or you were to even got close to this car I think he would break into a sweat of pure fear.
Oh yeah defo. You've also added up what it's worth in bits aye?
Andrews cracking on with the head but im still waiting for the valves to come into the country, fingers crossed sometime next week.
Once its back to me i can make a start on getting it all fitted back, engine bits should be back from the powder coaters at the end of next week and i'm dropping the nuts and bolts off the the metal platers tomo.
Im hoping to get it back on the road for the good weather, ive still got to get my coilovers ordered from Mick, get the wheel alingment done by Mark Fish and then ive got to get it mapped. I would love to take it to Paul at RS Tuning but i would have to get it trailered some how.
Cam wise ive got 421's, 182 manifold and a de-cat. Andrew's also re-porting the inlets as they wern't good enough for his liking.
Similar spec to my 421'd engine I had previously then! Should make good power

Cheers mate, hope so.
With the head being done im hoping for more torque, PH1 Tom has the same spec but his got the Piper cams and a sports cat.
His car made 185 bhp and 175 lbs ft at RS Tuning.
Oh im also fitting ARP rod bolts so it can rev a little more.

Pants about the valves, but if you're doing a job it's worth doing properly
Looking forward to seeing this 421d

Yes mate, it is. Extra money i didn't want to spend tbh. :dapprove:
On the up side though im getting excited like a 5 year old at christmas.
Booked 2 days off of work to try and get a few bits done, i had to take 2 bags of bolts to platers and poped to the powder coaters to see what colours they have for my inlet manifolds.
Tryed fitting the 182 manifold before i heat wrap it but the flange on the end hits the hoop of the anti roll bar, ill have to drop it off its mounts tomo or drop the back of the sub frame.
Next up i want to give the block a lick of paint, so i removed the plastic water pipe to give that a clean and to get better access to the engine.
Id also bought a new O ring seal for the end of the pipe so i needed to replace that.
Not in to bad condition but a bit of old oil along the lower parts which i guess is from oil filter changes.
Cleaning stuff doing its job.
Already for a paint tomo and i hope to fit the manifold.

This afternoon i got a call from the powder coaters, my bits where all one.
I was shocked as its only been a few days, anyway collected my 12 parts.
I had them done in the same colour as the other sliver bits on the car which is a sliver which looks light grey in some lights but has a very small metalic.
Anyway its epic.

Gave the block a paint today, just gave it a coat of this.
It looks like gloss but it was still wet when i took this picture.
Also fitted the 182 exhaust manifold, bit of a pain in the ass even with the head off.
I had to remove the anti roll bar and the starter motor, but its in.
I then removed it so that i could wrap it in the heat wrap which i will do tomo.

Thanks mate, how's your's coming on?
Don't know yet dude, it will be nice to have it back together for the end of March/mid of April.
Its then got to be trailered to Mark Fish for wheel alginment then to Mike Woodford for mapping, once its all up and running it will be used as long as there is no rain.
Thanks Arran, looks lots better in the flesh. My phone pictures don't do it any justice tbh.
Cheers Tom, its getting there.

Thank you Mr Bear. :approve:
Cheers Dan, i do it to relax plus i don't have a life.
Cheers fella, what's next for your's?
Thanks for the kind offer mate, id had a few beer's at the time so wasn't one of my better idea's to start wraping a manifold. flol
As above mate plus it has cost me quite alot to buy, never give in.
Yep had another go this morning, lots better. But yes its a bit of a job to get right.
Had another crack as wrapping the manifold this morning, couldn't get on with the stainless steel tie wraps they just didn't seem to lock up tight enough.
I will have to give Demon Tweeks a call tomo and see what they say, i did want AlexW suggested and used plastic tie wraps to hold the ends.
Cheers dude it worked a treat. :approve:
Here is a little sneek at what i have done so far, it takes ages to get nice and tight and evenly wrapped.
But i think its come out quite well.
