That tank is so much better down there.

Fuel tank is alot tidier, i like how this car started off pretty basic and now its pretty well specced
I've got a new pump and fittings on order to tidy it up more and finish it off!!Originally Posted by LEWI007
I'm finally getting it close to where I want it!! Just in time to rip it apart and start on the new shell!!!
House's ITB XE build and re-build
Few little bits today!!
Iain suggested switching to a special shifter turret that he claims would "revolutionise my gear change experience" he found me one at an old car deconstruction centre. He told me he'd cleaned it prior to my collection Saturday evening, needless to say he hadn't, he's such a let down. He didn't even have any biscuits for me to gorge myself on. Anyway I digress.
Cleaned, heated and painted.
Installed, I ditched the pin and went with an 8mm bolt, it has a nice long shank so it'll hopefully keep slop a minimum.
It is loads better, looking at an internal shifter as my next step.
I also got the scrubbing brush out and scrubbed the back of the car to get as much of the grime that seems to have stuck to everything off, looks a little better.
Did a brake fluid change, running Motul something or other, see how it fairs.
Ordered up some tubing to make some caliper end mounts for my brake ducting
Few engine bay shots. Can't believe it looked like this when I got the car 3 and a bit years ago!!!
Back to the present!!
Ungrateful is an understatement.
Think of it that he's so 'mean' because he's hiding his true feeling towards you....
ps did you paint the cam cover "white"?
Whats the turret then? Is it off a later f17 style, with an 'H' pattern cast in to the inside and 'pin' on the 'finger'. I know the cable style f17 ones are like that.
Shit!! You kill me, we stuck it in the hot wash to get the carbon out the inside!! Ironically we did that rather than acid bath it to try and preserve the paint!! Needless to say, we failed.
I don't know in truth which box it's off, Iain suggests these mods, I cry about trying to find the parts and he then goes and gets them for me!! He's my little shining star!!
But yes it does have the little detents inside which give it a much more positive engagement.

Back from Havant near Portsmouth early today, picked up my brake ducting from Argos, eBay delivered it there!! Decided I'd had enough of this pikey solution
Well actually, Big Al saw it and as I'm sure you can predict said it was a "pile of shit"
So I set about making something a bit more substantial
51mm OD exhaust pipe, flattened out a little with a hammer
Rather happy with that!! Directs the air directly to the centre of the disc, narrowing the outlet slightly might speed the air a touch aswell, let's see, I know they work as I had them at Mallory and it solved a host of braking problems and yes I painted them properly before installation!!
