hodge Posted January 20, 2010 Author Share Posted January 20, 2010 I need to look into this abit more and sort out actually how many visable hoses they actually will be. Off the rod of my head I don't think they will be many at all. I'm going to use braided line for most if not all the vac lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hodge Posted January 20, 2010 Author Share Posted January 20, 2010 theres the coolant hoses, unless you are using solid rad pipes. IC pipe connectors pretty much it I'm using a greddy hard pipe for the top rad which is getting chromed but the 2 joining hoses will need doing.

nevins Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 What type of arming switches are they. Have you gone for the fighter jet look with the flip covers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonT Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 It's either gona be white, blue or black hoses. I think black samco would look the best against the white and i think it would match the carbon bits that you might/might not be adding to the car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rays the roof Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 WOW! That brake cylinder looks even better than I thought it would. I tried 2 processes to chrome and neither worked so decided on polished finish. Must say effect is more pleasurable than spending 50$ in a whore house in Thailand Unadulterated plug for me... So that's the TRD strut and oil cap and brake cylinder so far. Chromed bits to follow and I think a little something that might get your wallet twinging in 2 weeks time!

supragold Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I think black samco would look the best against the white and i think it would match the carbon bits that you might/might not be adding to the car I think black too. Would look way better than blue. Loving the polished master cylinder. Your making great progress mate and it makes me feel like starting on mine again lol. Great thread.

Kev_A Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Love the master cylinder and that painted Servo looks superb, who painted that for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pudsey Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Brilliant thread so far and being white certainly makes the difference making for an ultra clean look too. Look forward in following the remaining installments of your very impressive build, and nothing short of oodles of hard work knuckle scrapping throughout.

hodge Posted January 20, 2010 Author Share Posted January 20, 2010 The rear air intake is now all repaired. It unfortunatly had a small run in the laquer but ill be buggered if im rubbing it down and laquering it again asit cant be seen anyway that would just be the picky of picky lol. I thought id sort the Nitrous arming switches that arrived today. Very nice bit of kit.[ IMG]http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa74/hodge_012/007-2.jpg[/img] Im wanting it to be hidden away inside the centre armrest so heres how I did it. Ive made a template for the armrest box. I then marked, and cut to shape some 18mm MDF to make a false bottom. Then I covered it in Autoleads box cloth. After this I removed the centre console and sorted all the nessessary wiring and the wiring on the bottom of the switch panel. Then a quick hoover and put everything back together. The OCD was on overdrive again. i you ook at the screws which hold the panel down the crosses are all pointing the same way lol. I just cant help myself. All thats left to get for the nitrous setup is 2 Greddy Remote switches and 2 greddy 12v harnesses so I can use them as triggers. Im going to use these so I can attach them to the steering wheel as there infrared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
