ripped_fear Posted July 21, 2015 Author Share Posted July 21, 2015 So I'm currently on the iow and as usual with every trip I have to visit the paint shop. So my new engine bay boxes are now painted along with all associated brackets. Also dropped the exhaust manifold in to and they have given it a quick going over with the mop. Still not perfect but looking good. Pictures to follow soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kendo11 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Good work so far mate, looking forward to seeing them boxes fitted. Are they the ones from the FB page? Is a lot of work involved in getting them to fit or are you not at that stage yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they the ones from the FB page? Is a lot of work involved in getting them to fit or are you not at that stage yet? Yeah me too hopefully going on Monday. They are indeed the ones James makes however I have had a few extra bits done, loom cutouts and smooth welds. Never been fitted to an NA so I took a risk will have to see. They will require a hole to be drilled to allow the throttle cable to pass through. Still got that to do. Will update on ease of fitting once its been attempted.

David P Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Attempt fitting the manifold before you attempt fitting the in the way devices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David P Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 When you see that shiny pretty manifold on, maybe you'll have second thoughts about hiding it under a homo interuptus box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't Hide the manifold just all the ugly rubbish Will be very visible I'm sure. Going to have to clean the side of the engine I reckon as It will now be on show more without the OEM heat shield.
