Geo Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Paul, that blue silicone pipe going into the silver pipe, is that where you would fill up the coolant from the rear? Build looks great, love seeing a bay stripped then coming together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well technically you could partially fit it from there but you'll still need to fill and bleed it at the radiator end mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Whiffin Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Slight change of plan on the inlet manifold, I had this used beauty available, as you can see its top quality and comes with 100mm throttle body, should make a few extra bhp with this baby: http://www.garagewhifbitz.co.uk/images/stories/gw_images/forum pics/daveroper/inletmanifold.jpg http://www.garagewhifbitz.co.uk/images/stories/gw_images/forum pics/daveroper/inletmanifold2.jpg http://www.garagewhifbitz.co.uk/images/stories/gw_images/forum pics/daveroper/daveenginebay8.jpg http://www.garagewhifbitz.co.uk/images/stories/gw_images/forum pics/daveroper/daveenginebay9.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
