Amazing bud :cool: I'd love to have the skill to do that.

 

Say there was an owner that hadn't much of a clue about what wires are what :innocent: are there any straight forward bits that could be done that would tidy it up a bit?

 

If you cut a wire, extend or move it and connect it back up where you want it you cant really go wrong if you take your time and dont get distracted.

Hey Rob, think Im going to get my friend who does airbrushing to take alook at the engine bay, hopefully I can spray all the visible areas, with masking and moving a few bits around. Don't think I can deal with removing the engine again....lol

 

does look good already. Is Kevin going to have the bay painted at some point? engine out job?

Loom tape arrived today, about time too.

So after the wastegates I got stuck into the loom tidying that up and loom taping it all together, as previously it was just wrapped in electricians tape and it had gone all hard and was coming off with the heat.

that looks great. i would change the intercooler couplings to black and also the red vacuum pipes to black, would look classy and wouldnt stick out like a sore thumb

 

All hoses are getting changed to red Rob. I'm just waiting on Kevin sorting the new hoses out. Once the bay is painted in candy red they'll blend in very nicely.
