hodge Posted December 7, 2009 Author Share Posted December 7, 2009 Looks well tasty, everytime I look at my own manifolds I get a little twinge down below. Your right about the VS manifold, mine was the same, the casting isn't the best in the world, in my mind nothing can touch the Hypertune manifolds, the quality is unreal, the best around. For the price i paid for the Veilside i couldnt turn it down really. Once its got a good coat of chrome on by the reflections guy:p its gona look awesome. Im also getting the runners and the fuel rail chromed too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Loving this thread, are you going to mod the manifold at all? think i would point the wastegate pipe back down for a cleaner engine bay look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hodge Posted December 7, 2009 Author Share Posted December 7, 2009 Loving this thread, are you going to mod the manifold at all? think i would point the wastegate pipe back down for a cleaner engine bay look. Im not sure ill get the turbo in with the wastegate and the pipe at that position. Ill build the whole thing up on an engine stand before it goes in the car and see how things look. if theres a problem with fitting then ill lop the pipe off and move it. They look superb polished, but I know you like things extra shiney they'll look superb Shiney is as Shiney does lol:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hodge Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 These are really well done thanks Kev. I'll get some fitted pics up tomorrow when it's abit lighter. I've spent most of the night finishing off the transmission tunnel. I've pop rivited the panel in for abit of extra support. And they coated it with underseal to protect it from the rain and road salt. I've put all the gauges/vents etc into the dash and put the 2 side panels in the car. The panel I made for the dash2 needs trimming so everything fits nice. So I'll get onto that 1st thing in the morning when I crawl out of bed. The missus is off away for a couple of days so the cars going to get some serious work done while she's away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hodge Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 Don't worry ray my pile is getting bigger and bigger LOL. Once the engine bay and fuel system is finished I can get the car out the garage and get some bits sent off. So when I get them back I've got somewhere to store them when I get them back so they don't get damaged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesy Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 right i gotta ask - what is all this about moving the fusebox (apart from obviously gaining 100rwhp) >? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkR Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 right i gotta ask - what is all this about moving the fusebox (apart from obviously gaining 100rwhp) >? It looks cleaner as the engine bay is less cluttered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
