colsoop Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Top job John just in time for the warmer months. All you need now is a proper photo shoot to show it off, lens flare and blurry pics are not showing off your hard work to its full potential.

hodge Posted April 5, 2011 Author Share Posted April 5, 2011 Small update on this. It's taken a bit of a back seat whilst I'm doing Johnnys car but I've still ordered some parts for it. I've now got all my white braided brake lines and fittings for the engine bay, they just need making up. Whiffbitz oil filter housing delete bolt. I bought 1 of these to free some space up under the plenum. I've relocated quite a bit of stuff under there it's getting a little crowded. Will save me a little weight too lmao. And after seeing jamesys bonnet nightmare I've ordered a new set of aerocatches. I had a set and wasn't going to use them so sold them to Dave_705. When I took the car over my sisters as I pulled up my bonnet popped open. Not good, so I've ordered a new set. The car is also getting MOT'd this week too.

Stevo Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 MOT'd and all road legal! [COOL][/COOL] When's it due at the bodyshop Shiny? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted April 5, 2011 Author Share Posted April 5, 2011 I'm not sure bud. Once I get it mot'd etc I'll drive it over and get a price from my bodyshop guy. Can't see it being a lot though cos I'm taking some time off work to strip the car an do all the donkey work for him, and he's a good mate of mine too.

Guest JDM_DK Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Nice job Hodge, car is looking good. You might have a few problems with the PS fluid reservoir though. it's suppose to be mounted higher than the PS pump, otherwise you might need a scavange pump in between. I am talking from experience unfortunately. Also, the o2 bung position in the DP might be a problem. The o2 sensor will collect moist and break down, when sitting upside down, or too sideways. That's why you see them sitting upright even in clean bays. I love your breather design btw, do you have any pictures of the catch (inside wheel well?), if so please post them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted April 11, 2011 Author Share Posted April 11, 2011 I've had no issues with the PAS res since I bled it off but if there is a problem I'll look into it. O2 sensor in the downpipe ????? Mate it's in the midpipe nowhere near being upside down. The breather kit has no catch tank it's just vented atmospherically. Didn't feel there was any need for a catch tank.
