I may drop some bits in to him soon yeah done the cam covers and on my non turbo too. yeah not cheap, far from it but you pay for the best and there are no other company's which offer such a decent product and good communication. i cant rate them highly enough scotty, so im sure they will look after you.

Rob_Mitchell Posted March 3, 2011 Author Share Posted March 3, 2011 Got the cam covers polished up after having the weld on fixings welded on, got some tasty titanium bolts from pro bolt to hold the covers on and replaced the rubber seals with new. Test fitted the fixings and i like the blue and red now as it will match the cam belt once fitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hodge Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Rob have you bought a blue auxiliary belt. If you havnt yet don't bother and get a black 1. My car hasn't even been out on the road yet and has only had about 3hrs of engine running time and all the blue has rubbed off leaving it a very crappy dull black. Save that cash, buy a normal black 1 and put the money to something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_Mitchell Posted March 4, 2011 Author Share Posted March 4, 2011 Got to work to find a slip from the postman i know exactly what is was and luckily the plumbers down the road signed for it for me,and looked after it . my greddy manifold and polished runners packed snuggly from SRD, there were a few extra bits which lee had boxed too. I hugged it for a while in the blanket then decided it needs to go on. Got the manifold side all bolted to the head with new oem gasket and it looks the business. The engine is really taking shape and the results are looking good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_Mitchell Posted March 4, 2011 Author Share Posted March 4, 2011 recieved the oil filter housing from lee @ SRD today, so i made a start on making it bling and gave it a good clean. Got the housing all polished up and got a oil filter for it. really need a workshop manual soon, so i know how things route ect and delete things not needed.
