Nice progress, I have to mention it though. That inlet plenum ideally wants a taper in size at the 4th cylinder end. To help get the correct airflow into the furthest runner. Just look at other plenums & you should see what I mean.
Yeah, I know what you mean mate, but sadly Velos never did that. But |I understand that it should be like a wedge shape. going smaller the oposite end of the throttle body.
Awesome project so far.
Be looking forward to seeing the finished article!
Small progress update and i am now finally beggining to see the light at the end of the tunnel!!!
I have painted a black pinstripe on both front and rear bumpers really finishes them off i think.
Breaks are now finished, just waiting for the fittings to pipe them up to arrive.
Repainted the strut brace and also the cam cover which has finished the bay off even added to laquer.
Wheels have been removed and are being repainted black and i have also re-fitted the lights and mesh in the grill.

Center caps for my wheels

Ohh the black bumper pinstripes look good
Looks brilliant, I might do you a ps tomorrow though as I'd like to see the rocker cover in a similar red as the velos tube, that's if you dont mind :)
Cheers mate that would be good.
