Standard colour for me is were it's at, im only painting it so it looks cleaner, has quite a few scratches from the last engine swap and then pulling the B18 again.

I do get customs charges on some stuff, ive had a fair bit through recently without charges

Car looks nice Tahir, bet you can't wait to get it on road

This thread needed an update so....

....I tried the inlet manifold on the head, it's fookin' massive!




Also got my OMNI Power 70mm Throttle body with a new TPS Sensor through the other day, very impressed with the quality, almost OEM style but bigger

Heard a few stories about the throttle sticking on other aftermarket tb's (BDL/SKUNK2 etc) so I went for one with an OEM type throttle spring. It was miles cheaper too than other aftermarket ones.

[elmo]

When are you hoping to be finished???

[Tahir]

About 6 weeks.

I have everything now. Just need a few gaskets and bits and bobs.

Now I just need time, which im not going to have much more of soon.

Quite a bit needs doing though, steering rack needs refurbing.

My traction bar is gonna take a while to come too. Should be worth it though!

Your going to have to make a custom air intake pipe yeah T? Because once your engine is in, the inlet Manni n TB is going to be close to the body. Or will the clearance be k?

[Tahir]

Custom air intake setup unfortunately. BillB broke the news to me the other day

Im going to see if the AEM will work if I cut away some of the piping, if not then custom it is.

I will be running a custom setup for drag/track anyways.

[SiR-CUE]

im sure the aem, could be easily adjusted with some rubber pipes and adapter, so i dont think you will need to go custom? maybe??

[Tahir]

Cue I will try to fit it of course, but im not sure 'cos the TB will be very close to the MC.

[mattj]

Yeah we pissed about for ages trying to work out if there was a way of fitting an intake, but bits need cutting. It's not a massive job, just need a bit removing between the 2 bends in the intake pipe to shorten it slightly.

[Tahir]

Id rather make a custom airbox and piping for it, if it starts to be a ball ache.
