Paul Whiffin Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 (edited) I'm giving the engine bay a quick make over this week, changing all the Goodridge fittings from blue/red to black. The same with all the silicon hoses, changing from blue to black. This is the before photos and I'll update with the updated look later in the week if I get time.

Paul Whiffin Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 (edited) I got a few more bits done today on the car in between my day to day stuff I do, and nobody say golf!

Paul Whiffin Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) All of the black Goodridge fittings arrived yesterday, and spent the next 4 hours putting it all back together again. Just need to blast the engine bay off with an airline today and give it a nice clean with a toothbrush.

ManwithSupra Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Looks great mate the Blue and red fitments looks dated these days as so many people have them in that combination, black fittings look so much better and a much more professional finish.

Paul Whiffin Posted September 6, 2013 Author Share Posted September 6, 2013 very much like the catch / PAS tank ! ... homemade Paul ? Custom made for my car yes, although I do have the drawings for it so can produce them if needed. It would mean ditching your abs though.
