Krzys Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 You've been busy! Good to hear the power improvement! I don't like having the air filter down by the bumper anyway, decent sized puddle can potentially hydrolock the motor. Good work on the bits your painting so far!

mcjacko1987 Posted May 26, 2015 Author Share Posted May 26, 2015 Yeah there is that with it behind the bumper. But then in the bay there's heat soak...I will have to see if I can find a heat shield of some sort. Back in work tomorrow but hopefully the boost hoses arrive tomorrow or Thursday or any time berfore my next 4 off work lol but will have a busy day on the car then. Will be fitting the boost hoses. The alloy rad and the rest of the coolant hoses I never got round to fitting and hopefully get more painting done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krzys Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Least you can still fit the other pipes but would have been nice not to have to wait for the other one to be replaced! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcjacko1987 Posted June 17, 2015 Author Share Posted June 17, 2015 All the pipes are done now, been done over a week now and looks great. I'll get pics up later. Engine covers have been flat sanded. Primed. And flat sanded again and now ready for paint So by the end of this 4 off work weather permitting the engine covers will be done been a long time coming but I'm happy with the outcome so far.Car has an issue at the min tho. She is loosing boost. Not good. Especially with this rolling quickly coming up on the 27th. Luckily though I have her booked into demon performance centre for a turbosmart actuator upgrade and that's just 2 days before the rolling road so hopefully that sorts it.Some mods may come along slow now though as we have booked a wedding so the missus says that's more important than modding the car haha. Speaking of the wedding though I have a nice thing to show you all. Just a project at the moment but so far so good I will uploads pics later on today.
