Yeah that is the rad fan. When I bought it, it had two bare wires pushed into it and taped together, so the AA guy temporarily put the blue connections on but ultimately needed redoing.cryz2 wrote:can you get a better photo of the engine i think i can see the fan wires hot wired up a plug with 2 blue plugs pushed in it ????
next to the battery behind the fan ?????
I know about the air filter doing nothing. I have a perfectly fine filter sitting in the boot but need to get another airbox.
Thanks for letting me know about the import thing. It has rested my mind a bit.
When we first pulled over, we actually had to tighten the bolt on the passenger side radiator mount!
Other thing I found was the water tank isn't fixed down! You can just pull it out! :/
I'll get a couple more pics of the engine up. Thanks so far guys its been a massive help! If you spot anything dodgy or missing and any idea what I need to put in it, please let me know!
Thanks
EDIT PICS:
That gold bit looks like it should have something attached to it!

Okay I am confused now, what bits do I need?cryz2 wrote:this set up would work ,and quite well , but it needs the Hot air by pass from the manifold blocked off ,
as its open from the heat sheild and its just letting in unfiltered air , in to the carbs
Also the reason I want that filter thing to go is because as part of the insurance deal, I have to put a tracker in the car to track my mileage and they check to see if the car is modified in any way and that isn't going to look good.

im 19 and passed in march. I have tried quotes with SOOO many insurance companies. And the cheapest by HUNDREDS was a company called Coverbox. If I don't drive as much I don't pay as much a month, and if I drive more I have to pay more. Paying 2k for 4k miles a year.
Yes it sucks but I couldn't get any better! Ady Flux, Sky, HIC, Brentacre etc etc. All couldn't beat it or even come close!

Ohhhh the black box connected to the carbs is the airbox right? So what I really need is the pipes to put a cold air feed back then I can put the filter back in the box.
That is my guess, would I be right in thinking that?
What did you make of the photos? Any idea what I am missing or got the wrong bit of? Cheers
