**FINALLY....show you all what ive been doing/hiding under my bonnet***

[RikH]

posted enough picks of exterior which was finished a long time ago
summoned up some will power to finish the engine bay (aside from small touches) today...

let me know what you think

and with covers back on

enjoy

 

[DPJ]

Neat work, Rik.

Get yourself some blue cable ties.

rik what is the long pipe from left to right??

looks really tidy now mate

 

[RikH]

i could carry on getting things like "bling" oil caps and dipsticks
but i dunno

just did coldside today...gave it a run round the block but need to test it right. Was easy enough but alot of hose trimming and swearing in the sun was done

which picture moff mate?

 

[The MoffMeister]

looks like the relocation or am i wrong?

 

[kez]

yeah the long pipe is the DV relocation.

it's quite a bit longer than mine, but mine's the proper side of the engine bay

 

[jhlcr]

sticker would finish it off nice

 

[kez]

there's a forge one on the engine cover

 

[RobM]

I was just looking at the pics thinking 'if only there was an engine cover, as that looks a mess' and then bingo, CF engine cover

Looks good. Not convinced on the blue pipes, as they stand out too much for my liking, but too in your face. But that aside, nice one

 

[karlosR]

that looks spot on with the covers in place. are you keeping the standard airbox or going for a carbon BMC kit? if you're keeping the original box then maybe one of these http://www.ttshop.co.uk/search.asp?product=701463&i=show&site=main would finish it off nicely!

looks well smart.. wish mine looked like that!!

 

[RikH]

cheers all

yeah moff long pipe is the dv relocation, bit of a git to do but seems better and my dv doesnt rattle off the s3 brace now

had to go for blue, red looks shocking on a black car car imo and black is OE anyway, boring

i have a massive FORGE sticker, should i put it on the bonnet like james? haha

 

[The MoffMeister]

ok cool was thinking about that myself may relocate it just and excuse for blue pipe to as thats goes well with artic silver

 

[RikH]

split-r actually dumps like a dump valve now its at the front
no difference in performance whatsoever what ive found so far

 

[jonjay]

that looks really smart RikH, well done.

 

[UncleFester]

Agreed - runs on the wrong fuel .... but looks very smart!

 

[PhilW]

You need to get yourself some engine dressing products for the black rubber bits to bling them up.


Looking good tho!

 

[D4N BK]

Wish mine looked like that

 

[dannyk]

[The MoffMeister]
